Geocache Description:

Eclipse tins: the lazy mans cache container.

Neither aesthetic nor waterproof, they have become the default magnetic throwdown, available to the masses.


This street was originally named Bismark St, by the Germanic settlers who founded the area, and planted all the pine trees!
While this cache could easily be part of the Bus series, it continues on the trail around Manningham.

No longer associated with the bus stop, nor eclipse tins at all, is a simple find and retrieve. No magnet or string required. The information below is left purely for historical purposes.


Old description:
The hide will test not only your preparation to bring a special tool, but also your timing of approach from traversing traffic.
Other than either eyes in the back of your head or a spotter on the sidelines, you will need to arrived armed.

A magnetic tool is helpful, and it needs to be of significant length.
A telescopic variety is preferable (for ease) but it is possibly doable with a string based system if you have a steady hand and a patient learning curve.

Advice with a string approach would be an inner sleeve of non ferrous material, but beware this will negatively impact on your exposure/ conspicuousness.
