Geocache Description:

Enjoy a nice walk in the Coningham Reserve. As always, dress suitably, sturdy footwear, carry water on longer walks, and watch where you’re stepping especially when it's warm.

Don’t forget, you cannot claim a ‘find’ until you’ve found the log and added your mark.


There’s many ways to save time, and there’s ways to save time whilst Geocaching (but let’s not give away any secrets). Recently whilst geocaching with friends, we employed one time-saving measure, and when a junior party member asked what we were up to, as we headed towards the next cache, he was told “It’s called saving time”.

To cut a long story short, when we arrived at the next GZ, he announced that the cache we were looking for was called “Saving Time”.

We were initially puzzled as to why he though it was so called (because it wasn't called that at all). Then we put 2 and 2 together, resulting in uncontrollable laughter, and we all still giggle (laugh hysterically) whenever its gets mentioned in conversation.

So, this cache is dedicated to that moment saving time, and was placed at the start of Daylight Savings.

The most convenient parking if you're just doing this cache is listed in the waypoints below. Alternatively, you could park at Coningham near the beach, as there's several caches from there, and extend your walk up to this location.

From the parking waypoint, I'd suggest following the signed main (4WD) track to within about 35metres away from GZ.

Hope you enjoy it.

There is no room for swaps, but you should find a pen, and a small tool (just in case) – but there is nothing further in those holes; in fact, there is no reason to look in any holes in timber of any kind; there's nothing there.

The hint, whilst perhaps unnecessary, is obscurely cryptic, and may in part, require some deciphering.

Oh, and just to clarify (it will make sense while at GZ) “Please DON’T Move”, really means don’t remove it. A geocacher will of course always put things back properly after handling.

Good  luck.
