Geocache Description:

The cache is not hidden at the posted co ordinates.

The Twelve Days of Christmas’ is a singalong Christmas carol that runs through the twelve days after Xmas, it begins on Christmas Day and ends on 6 January, the day before Epiphany.

I am using the Australian Version of 12 days of Christmas

Each day represents a new gift, starting with ‘an Emu up a gum tree’ and ending with ‘Twelve parrots prattling.

The English tune dating back to the 1700s, which some historians actually believe to have French origins.

The carol is a cumulative song, which means that each verse is a continuation of the previous verses.

This series of Challenge Caches is loosely based on that idea. All I have done is simply substituted the gifts in the singalong with a quantity required of cache types. To complete this challenge you will need to have found the required quantity of types in the "Challenge Box".

The difficulty and terrain ratings for each cache has been based on the area and then on the challenge types as well. These ratings increase as the cumulative song.

Three things to note:

It is a couple kilometer walk so please take provisions with you.
Unless you intend on walking or biking this area several times I would suggest signing all cache logs as you go around and then do a write note or a found log for that day. Yes, it is a beautiful area and remember it is a good solid walk around.
Include your note from Project GC in your log.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!

The Challenge is to see if you qualify by using the challenge checker.
