How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the list co-ordinates, you will need to knit the following item to find the co-ordinates.

Deep in the wild heart of Hobart, only those who can read the language of yarn shall find the hidden treasure. Solve the riddle woven into the stitches and discover a cache where fibre arts and exploration entwine.

Nana’s, Mums and sisters come in handy for other things than cooking, washing, ironing and making your bed, sometimes they are very crafty.

I was in Tasmania recently and when I wasn’t geocaching, solving puzzles I needed to do something, what is there better to do than some craft.

The motif you make is more than just a code—it’s a keepsake to commemorate your adventure.
