Geocache Description:

This new cache is a replacement for the now departed "Barking Mad". It's not too far from the original, but the computations have changed. Like the first, this is a short multi that probably won't make fellow cachers barking mad (er, at least not more than the average 'committed' cacher already is!).


Some of Coffee and Cache's rellos have suggested that all cachers are...well, marginally insane. This little cache isn't likely to push you right over the edge, despite lots of bark, a chalet built from a former lunatic asylum, and (on the day we placed the cache) a plentiful supply of excitable canines.

Wattle Park, C & C's favourite local park and a haunt from Coffee's long-ago childhood, was set up by the Hawthorn Tramways Trust in 1916, as those who have caught our Fish Out Of Water may recall. It became a popular destination for a day trip, hence the olde worlde Chalet and bandstand.

The chalet was built in 1928. Building materials were recycled from the Yarra Bend Lunatic Asylum (no, they don't come to take you away any more, even if you're a cacher!) as well as an old cable tram building.


At the waypoint, you should be looking at a large sign next to lots of convenient parking.

In all cases, just count the number of letters in the indicated words.

Find section "THE OPENING".
A = 3rd word   

Find section "POPULAR FOR PICNICS"   
B = 2nd word

Find section "FROGS AND LIZARDS".
C = 11th word (NB - Answer=2)

Find section "AUSSIE GREEN AND GOLD"
D = 9th word   

Find section "THE TRAMS".
E = 3rd word

Find section "WATTLE PLANTINGS"
F = 2nd word

The cache is located at S 37 50.ABC    E145 6.DEF

As usual, please make sure the cache is adequately covered when replaced.
