Geocache Description:


Blue Figs

This cache is not located in a State Conservation Area, but you will need to visit one to get information from virtual waypoints to work out the location of the physical cache.

This is a nice easy walk on a well defined trail, and very even grade. Perfect for mountain biking. Park your car at the Blue Fig Management Trail entrance. As you walk the trail you'll pass an old flooded gum plantation and then through a magnificent rainforest to the Falls/Cascades.  The return walk is back along the same route.

The blue Quandong Fig is prevalent and the namesake of the trail. When they are in season, you may be lucky enough to see the King Parrots feasting on them.

To find the cache, you'll need to get some information from the listed coordinates.  How many outlets are under the culvet that allow water to pass under the road. Let this number be A

Now walk back the way you came for 20m. There's a sign, put in place by Rous Water. How many activities does this sign say are prohibited at this area. Let this number be B

Now, lets assign a few more variables based of the information we have already gained: 

C = (B x 2) + 1 

D = A - 2

 

Final cache location is at:

S 28° 36.CD5' E 153° 22.DA3'

Checksum A+B+C+D = 15

 

You're looking for an ammo can, loaded with swaps.
