The Series
This cache is one of a series offering a variety of "easy" puzzles. They are all (meant to be) puzzles that can be solved either using clues provided or online resources readily found using Google. The hides themselves are relatively easy – the key feature here is you are meant to use your energy on the puzzle, not the find.
In part, this series pays tribute to TR!'s "It's Puzzle Time" series, which is another great introduction to puzzle caches (thank you heaps, TR!).
Kangaroo
A Kangaroo is a large marsupial of the family Macropodidae (meaning "large foot"). Along with the emu, they are commonly noted to not have a reverse gear.
Reverse Cipher
The Reverse cipher is a "substitution" cipher – each letter in the message is swappped for a different letter of the alphabet. To encipher a message, a "reversed" alphabet is used. That is, "A" becomes "Z" (and vice-versa), "B" becomes "Y", "C" becomes "X", and so on. The reverse cipher is popular among Scouts because of its simplicity, and (like the rot-13 cipher) the enciphering/deciphering table can be written compactly:
|A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|
|Z|Y|X|W|V|U|T|S|R|Q|P|O|N|
In the particular case of using the Hebrew alphabet, this cipher is known as the Atbash cipher.
