An Unforgettable Australian Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

AussiePam: This one got muggled a lot, and I haven't had time to maintain it yet again. I had been considering its future when I heard that another geocacher wants to place a new hide in the GZ area.

I'm happy to archive Joan Sutherland, and hand over the spot to Googlehihihi's impossibly tricky inventiveness.

Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates.

When it all began, I did get some flak for - among other apparent physical 'failings' - my general pained expression. But really, normally, I was easy going, placid. Needlepoint banished any butterflies. I once described myself as "the biggest doll in the business"!!! I also got called "ordinary", but they meant it very nicely, in the down to earth sense. No airs and graces.

I roared with laughter at the "no airs"! Airs there were, a-plenty.

Modesty aside... When I was good, I was very very good, but when I went mad I was better.
In the end I totally got a handle on things, and then I was stupendous......

My gongs included 'Australian of the Year'.

I had a long association with the Sydney suburb of Mosman.

Once you have worked out the identity of this unforgettable Australian, you will easily be able to google the information needed for the final co-ordinates.

Be discreet - and there's no need to step on any garden.
