Event Activity:

During the event, participate in the Great Aussie Keytag Trek. This activity will take you on a walking tour of Cockatoo Island, of approximately 60-90 minute duration, as you search for a number of keytags. You will be given a game sheet with the coordinates of each keytag location and a hint to assist you. Each keytag has an individual letter and a symbol assigned to it. Simply record the letter and symbol on your game sheet. When you have found all the keytags, return to the event GZ and unjumble the letters to reveal the secret code word. Show your completed game sheet and whisper the secret code word into the ear of a GCNSW Committee person to receive your reward. It's not a race, so take your time to explore the many areas of Cockatoo Island.

Those who attend this event will have the opportunity to catch up with old mates and make new friends while discussing all-things Geocaching. There is always the chance to discover and swap travel bugs and geocoins, to get answers to those niggling questions you have, as well as find the caches located in the park.

Please post your "Will Attend" log to receive announcements. I hope you can come along and help make this a most enjoyable gathering.

Cheers,

Geocaching NSW Committee
