The aboretum started when some seeds came into possession while on holiday in far North Queensland and were planted to see if they could germinate out of their normal environment. After successfully growing first in pots and then in grow bags, a request was put to The Shoalhaven City Council. The council approved for an Aboretum and so became an official park in 2009.
The cache is a small, eclipse tin not hidden in the best of places due to the respect held for the gardens. The co-ordinates listed are not GZ. You will need to solve the puzzle questions to work out the co-ordinates for GZ.
