Geocache Description:

Team Ninja's 41st cache is located at Tipperary Springs in the Daylesford area. It's a lovely spot known to few people other than the locals, and many a family barbeque have been held here in the shade of the massive gum tree at the centre of the reserve. The original cache was muggled so I've updated the multi requirements and replaced it with a larger container.


The cache is centred around three information boards/plaques within close proximity of the start coordinates. Information obtained will lead to to the cache's hidey hole. You will need to start at the white information board beside the bridge.

In what year was the swing bridge built?

19AB

How many pictures of birds are on the board?

C

The next stage requires information from a plaque on the silver mineral pump a few metres away.

How many mg/L of potassium are in the mineral water?

DE

The final stage requires information from the blue info board a few metres from the pump.

How much money was spent on improving Tipperary Springs, to enable 25 gallons of water per hour to flow from the pipe?

FGH

On the other side of the board, what is the name of the storage area that rainwater seeps into once it enters the ground? (6th line)

Number of letters in the word = I

 

The cache is located a few hundred metres away at:

S 37°DE.(AB+8)C  E 144° 0I.(FGH+34)

 

The cache can be accessed via the walking trail or the 4WD track, personally I recommend making it a round trip as each track provides a different perspective of the reserve and area. The 4WD track offers some good views of debris from the flood that wiped out the pedestrian bridge over the creek a few years ago.

Watch out for snakes and creepy crawlies whilst looking for the cache. Please trade fairly and ensure it's well hidden before departure. There are abandoned mines in the area so watch out for them.

Hope you enjoy my 41st cache and make sure you sample the mineral water whilst you're at the spring!
