Geocache Description:


I love bush walks so this would have to be my favourite location at the Bason Botanic Gardens. Before you start preparing a day pack for this cache you may be pleasantly surprised to know that this is a very short (but beautiful) bush walk that takes ~15 minutes to walk from the starting, published co ords to the final cache location. 

The published co ords is the start of the Native Plant Walk. Here you need to find A and B before starting your walk.

A and B = the Orienteering number minus 41

At the Mid Point waypoint there is a sign on a post that has the words 'Native Walk'. Here you will need to find C and D.

C = the number of letters in the name of the symbol that represents the arrow minus 3.

D = the amount of bolts holding the sign to the post plus 5.

The final co ords are:

S39 52.9AB

E174 57.2CD

To extract the log book you will need a tool. The tool has been provided for you. If you're unsure about the tool, stop and listen for the tool.

The final is under trees and a good tip is to give your GPSr some time to settle once you near GZ to get a better reading.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log. TFTC logs will be deleted.
