Geocache Description:

The Queen’s stash is part of a series of caches situated around Devonport based upon Alice in Wonderland. The series is made to provide a varied caching experience and to highlight many of the different types of caches. Each cache will also carry a few co-ordinates for the location of Alice’s Wonderland Stash. I hope you enjoy.

‘Would you tell me,’ said Alice, a little timidly, ‘why you are painting those roses?’
Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began in a low voice, ‘Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss, we’re doing our best, afore she comes, to —’ At this moment Five, who had been anxiously looking across the garden, called out ‘The Queen! The Queen!’ and the three gardeners instantly threw themselves flat upon their faces. There was a sound of many footsteps, and Alice looked round, eager to see the Queen.
-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland Chapter 8: The Queen’s Croquet-Ground


Off with your heads! The cry echoes from the distance, but there is no cause for your alarm. The queen is off surveying her roses, red and otherwise which leaves you a golden opportunity to find her cache. The co-ordinates for the cache are hidden in the above cards. Once you decipher the cards you can punch the co-ords into your GPS and head straight to the Queen’s cache. Inside the cache will be some more co-ordinates to Alice’s Wonderland Stash. No swaps sorry!

While you are in the area maybe take the time to look at 2 of the Queen’s special heads, as well as another cache nearby. The foreshore area has a few caches, and is a great spot for a stroll or a picnic.
