Geocache Description:

On noticing Barad had put in the start of a series of puzzle caches along the Montrose Trail in Glenorchy, we thought we would take up the challenge of adding another. 


The cache has taken up the theme of the first two by changing the digits of the final coordinates to an item that can be obtained by examining a list. In this case it is a fairly easy one and we have even made a suggestion of where you can find the information.

One of our interest is bushwalking and Barad even put the idea in our heads that mountains would be a good type of list for us.  The list chosen had one disadvantage in that it only goes to 8 and luckily a 9 wasn’t needed.  This left zero as a problem and where a 0 was needed the word zero is used.

On approaching GZ you may notice two memorials in a clearing on the right hand side just over the creek.

Zero = 0
