Geocache Description:


This one stage multi geocache is placed in a small town on the glorious Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland. It starts at a fig tree planted by SGT Jim McDonald on ANZAC Day 1916 in honour of the soldiers who died during the first years of WW1. The fig tree nearly lasted 100 years, being blown over in a storm on 11 December 2015.

To find the cache you must read details from the two plaques and place the answers into the northing and easting to find the final cache location about 700 metres away.

At Plaque 1 (photo), 

A = How many letters in the word after “brave”

D = How many letters in the fifth (5th) word on this plaque

E = How many letters in the surname of the person who dedicated the tree in 2016

F = How many letters in the second last word on the plaque.
