Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates but it is great place to start your journey.

Brookfield Conservation Park is rich in wildlife.  It was a gift to South Australia by The Chicago Zoological Society to conserve the Southern hairy-nosed Wombat.


All you need to do to find this cache is appreciate some Wombat Poetry and discern some coordinates from it!

Don't talk to girls; they'll break your heart
And this is my head and this is my spout
But they work together; they can't figure anything out.

 

Doo-doo, doo-doo doo doo doo
BABA
Doo-doo doo-doo doo doo.

So if you're ever feeling down,
Grab your purse and take a taxi,
To the darker side of town.

I remember short skirts, 
Long hair, 
My hormones flying everywhere.

Tales of girls,
And boys,
And marsupials.

The climb's too rough just to slide back down again
I'm only here because
I feel the day deserves a truly sordid end.

It was the perfect disease we had
And in its absence lies a painful fact
We all need someone to drive us mad

I knew of no downfalls,
Though war was breaking out all around me,
My concerns were with prank calls.

To find someone who shirks such little self-restraint
I'm a non-believer but
I believe in these dirty little wicked games.

You tried to fabricate a bedtime story
And now I miss those games we had of Jekyll and Hyde
Ever since the day that we parted company.

Good Luck.
