Out in the middle of Ngarkat (listed co-ords) there is a crossroads... There is a number on the north pointing sign, and a number on the south pointing sign.
In Letterboxing style, there is not a cache at the listed co-ords, but instead you need to use the above numbers to know how far, and which bearing you need travel to the Letterbox/hybrid cache.
The cache is at a distance of 4.7601144 metres times the number on the North pointing sign, and on a bearing of 17.182459 x the number on the South pointing sign.
The distance is less than 500m from listed, but you cannot drive there.
Watch out for the native fauna, particularly the slithering type.
