Geocache Description:

Please do this cache in daylight hours. The cache is in an awkward spot and your platform is slippery when wet. The cache IS doable at night but why would you want to miss out on the beautiful view I'm bringing you to, although it is quite nice at night as well.


The grand-eos berry (Ecce enim hedera) is an extremely rare species of fruit and very little is known about where it originates from.  It's appearence is smooth and round with a hard rind that is either red, pink or very light green depending on the variety. When the fruit has reached maturity, the inside flesh has a waxy texture and despite its sweet  fruity aroma the berry is not edible.  The grand-eos berry has been found to have a rich moisturizing quality which is beneficial in healing dryness.  When the fruit starts to die off, the hard shell remains in tact yet the waxy flesh inside the fruit gets smaller and eventually disappears. Weather conditions, perfect temperature and regular fertilization througout the life of the plant, will determine if the existing seed inside remains during the decomposing phase of the friut which is why this fruit is extrememly rare.

After finding the cache, why not have a seat and take in the beautiful surroundings that Victoria has to offer.  This is a great area for your geohound to sniff about so bring him/her along.  Please be very careful as the platform you'll need to stand on is very slippery when wet.  Please do not remove the cache even though it may be in an awkward position.  Bring your own writing utensil and recover cache if needed.  Watch out for muggles as they can be watching you from many different places. Feel free to post pictures but not with the cache. Spoilers are not invited.

It seems as if a muggle has picked the rare red Grand-eos berry. Fortunately I have spotted another one at the very same coordinates. It has grown low to the ground and has sprouted on something. It is not the same variety as the the red Grand-eos and because of it's rarity, I have no idea what this one is named. Maybe you can name it in your log once you find it. If needed, please camo the cache with bark or other debris so it too doesn't go missing again so quickly.

--------------------- Update Sept.9th 2016----------------------- Now a camoed pill bottle beside stump. Please rehide as found or cover if it is visible.
