High and Dry? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

beegram: Unfortunately the High and Dry cache has again disappeared. Easy acess to the cache location has been blocked due to the area nearby becoming a building site. The area has also become very unattractive due to knocking down all the trees. Due to all these factors I have decided to archive this cache.

Geocache Description:

High and Dry?


This reserve forms part of the area's stormwater management system & endeavours to redirect excess rainwater away from homes & roads. As evidenced by the amount of vegetation deposited amongst the trees, water levels can get pretty high after downpours.


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates but is within the reserve.

Hopefully the cache has been placed in a spot that will keep it high & dry through all weather conditions. Only time will tell!

The cache is located at S 27 20.ABC E 153 02.XYZ
