The Story So Far
"There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the pup from Old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush dogs -- he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the geocachers had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted cachers from the suburbs near and far
Had mustered at the dam site overnight,
For the cachers love hard searching where the wild bush dogs are."
......
Apologies to Banjo Patterson.
Your assignment, if you choose to accept, is to hunt the feral dog and stalk it back to its lair. You will need the eyes of a hawk, ears of an elephant, and the cunning of a fox. You must start at the location of its last known sighting.
Note: Wild Dogs are known for their ability to disguise themselves. BEWARE of dogs in Kangaroo Costumes. They abound in the park and are not to be approached at any cost.
LAST KNOWN SIGHTING: S 37º 57.707 / E 145º 23.755
Here is where the wild dogs were last seen. Look around for clues that will show you where they next went.
Wild dogs need to know the size of the animals they impersonate. Eastern Grey Kangaroos (Macropus Giganteus) can grow up to A.B metres tall and can weigh up to CD kilograms.
To reduce panic amongst park visitors, the Parks Information service (which has the phone number EF GHJK) has been ordered to deny any rumours of wild dogs attacking humans and stealing their cars.
Nearby is the damn wall (or is it just the dam wall)? The dogs have often been seen on the walk along the top. For humans, the recommended time to walk across and back is LM minutes.
GZ - THE DOG'S LAIR is some distance away but still in the park at
S 37º 58.D(B+F)(A+C) / E 145º 23.(G+K)LM
The cache is a 3 litre plastic container so only small items will fit.
Thanks to geocacher badlatitude from Wisconsin for the original idea that led to this cache. Originally there was a barking doorbell in the cache which would bark when the doorbell (dog whistle) was pressed, thus leading to the cache.
