Geocache Description:

The cache is not hidden at the published coordinates, although this is the best place to park. You will need to complete the Wherigo to find the cache.

Skippy has carelessly lost track of her Joey, and would like your help. If you accept this mission you will need to go on a bushwalk, solve some puzzles, and enjoy a pleasant piece of Sydney's fringe. The puzzles are not particularly hard or profound, and are instead designed to be another way to enjoy a bushwalk - this is all about the journey, rather than the destination ...

This adventure should take about 2 hours, and covers a 5km track through the bush and Westleigh. There is one section that is a bit steep, so I wouldn't recommend taking young children (under about 7) along. Please take the usual precautions with walking in the bush e.g. let someone know where you are going (hmmm, they would have to complete the Wherigo too), and bring along water and insect spray.

To take part in this adventure you will need a Garmin Colorado, a Garmin Oregon, or a GPS-enabled smartphone with a Wherigo Player. You can go to the Wherigo site to download the cartridge, or can download it here.

Note: the client programmes that are used on smartphones don't always produce Completion Codes that are accepted by the Wherigo website, although the first 15 characters of the completion code that the iPhone app produces may work. This is not a condition for logging the find, however signing the log is.

Please provide feedback on the experience and the cache condition in your logs. Bring your own pen!
