Geocache Description:


Please don't bush bash! Here's a map of the trails that lead to the GZ.

Some of you will remember the drama we experienced with the container for the final cache of the Zargfinders Power Trail at Manly Dam. If you check the logs, you’ll see that two days after the cache was published, it had to be disabled and taken home for repairs, as the rain appeared to have broken it.

Four days later it was back in place, ready to be found. But, ALAS, six days after that, the cache was back in the workshop. At that point we realised that wildlife, not the weather, was preying on the cache! It seemed that using flour-based paper mache to shape the cache had NOT been a good idea! smiley

The cache underwent major surgery and we believed we had created an animal-proof container. How wrong we were. ONE DAY after it was back in place, we were advised that, once again, it had been part of someone’s dinner.  What to do?!!

At that point we were SO frustrated that we decided to start from scratch and make an entirely new cache. The original was left to sit and wait in the workshop, until….

THE RESURRECTION!!!

Yes, this cache is the resurrection of ZFPT21 – Final – but with modifications to ensure that it won’t suffer the same fate as the original. At least we will be SHOCKED if it does.

Cache Location

The cache is located at Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden in St Ives. According to their web site, the garden is one of Sydney’s best kept secrets! And we agree, which is why we decided to add a few more caches there to encourage more visitors.

Check out their web site for more information about the garden.

Please Note: The garden is open from 8am to 5pm daily, except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day and Good Friday. It appears to be open Easter Sunday! smiley

Cache GZ

The cache is placed very close to the walking track so that no damage needs to be done when retrieving it. So... 

Please plan your route to the GZ wisely!
