Geocache Description:

A tribute to Australia Day, and the 2016 Australian of the year award winners.


Hidden in a small park in Moonee beach. Cache is a micro with an Australian themed camo. The cache is in reverse, with the base attached to the camo, so don't pull it off the camo in an attempt to open it. If any damage occurs do tell me through your log.

As you find this cache, you may find yourself singing the tune of Waltzing Matilda, or our Australian Anthem or one other of our many songs and poems. You may see some Australian animals, and suddenly want to go to the nearest bakery and buy a lamington and meat pie.
