Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. To find it, you'll need to complete the nonogram below. The coordinates are at S31. ab.cde', E115 vw.xyz'. The words below are unrelated to the location - just a backstory on the cache itself. This cache requires a 7 METRE POLE to access it. It is in a nice hidden away area, so you should pretty much be able to go about your business unnoticed. It's a good place for suburban wildlife. While I was placing the cache, a baby kookaburra was keeping a close eye on me (while practicing its undeveloped laugh). Maybe you'll be forutunate enough to see it around too.

 

Now, this is a story all about how,
My life got flipped-turned upside down.
And I'd like to take a minute,
Just sit right there,
I'll tell you how I came to own this cache that’s up in the air.

On Reddit is where I spend most of my days,
Scrolling through content, upvoting my faves.
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool,
And watching cat gifs, where they all play the fool.

When suddenly I saw a post in my favourite sub,
A Geocaching Secret Santa, ooh, how I love.
I messaged atCatpacity through the Message Centre,
They too thought it'd be fun to be a sender.

I filled out the google form and hit submit,
Thought no more of it – that was it.
A coupla weeks later, while scrolling through cats,
I get an email, a secret to keep under my hat.

Yo this is cool, it’s atCatpacity,
My Reddit Secret Santa Geocaching Giftee.
This will be fun, I just need some inspiration,
And then an idea, and I lay the foundation.

I message them asking if they’re up for my stunt,
To receive their presents, they must go on a hunt.
They’re down for it.
I'm sure they’ll survive,
I hope they're prepared for hunt of their lives.

Meanwhile Christmas Eve and we go looking at lights,
Come home to find a box sitting in our sights.
Merry Cache-mas Blinknurdead
It’s sitting right here,
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

I tore open the box, packing peanuts everywhere,
Handmade caches, created with flair.
With a picture of a cat – but nah, it can’t be,
I’ve got them, so they couldn’t have me.

A couple of days later, after finishing their search,
They were done leaving me in the lurch,
They were my Santa, and I was theirs.
Never in my thoughts did I ever suspect,
Thank you atCatpacity, I’ll never forget.
