Geocache Description:


Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads.

The flower spike consists of a woody axis covered in tightly-packed pairs of flowers attached at right angles. As the flower spikes age, the flower parts dry up leaving the woody follicles embedded in the axis of the cone. Each follicle consists of two horizontal valves that tightly enclose the seeds. The follicle opens to release the seed by splitting along the suture. There's some cover from passing muggles at gz.

Find the right cone and lift it off it's branch. When everything is in alignment you will have access to the log and small swaps.
