This is a tree fishing cache. If you do not have the appropriate tree fishing equipment, or if you canât replace the cache as found, please do not attempt this cache.
If you need some guidance regarding âappropriate tree fishing equipmentâ or how to capture a tree fishing cache and donât know who to talk to, you could message one of the local cachers (with lots of experience in tree fishing) who would be more than willing provide such guidance. Using the Geocaching message function, send a message to either Wollaston, pprass or DiMorgan

The âPort Pythonâ Geo-Art series aims to add another facete to geocaching around Port Macquarie. Cacherâs that complete this series will be rewarded with at least one complete D/T Loop and if you complete enough other local Port Macquarie caches, you can achieve two D/T loops.Â
In line with the design of this Geo-Art, each cache highlights one of the Australiaâs approximately 140 species of land snakes, and 32 recorded species of sea snakes.
Some 100 Australian snakes are venomous, although only 12 (under 7%) are likely to inflict a wound that could kill you. Whilst itâs fair to say most people arenât fans of snakes, this series aims to provide further education about snakes and where youâre most likely to spot them around this great land.
Credit to the âAustralian Snake Identification, Education + Advocacy [ASIEA]â Facebook group for the information cards and photos. Anyone can post a photo including the location to the group which generally provides extremely fast (within a minute usually!) and reliable snake ID and promotes safe and respectful interactions with snakes. Their aim is to increase understanding of snakes and their behaviour to prevent unnecessary snake, human and pet injuries and they do this so brilliantly.Â
Their system of #ApprovedIDer and #NonApprovedIDer ensures that people are able to guess and learn while ID reliability remains consistent. Interested people are encouraged to join and start learning about, and gaining a respect for snakes.
