GCMCE8 Miss Terry 01 (Unknown Cache) in Western Australia, Australia created by Wayne and Kathryn

This cache has been archived.

Team Red Roo: This cache i(1 of the 8 remaining) is now Archived [}:)].
I am at my wits end regarding getting caches approved - because of the stupid rules that appear to be in force by GC - reviewers appear to use a different set of rules to the guidelines that GC publish on their website and this causes friction between reviewers and Geocachers. GC appears to ignore both requests and valid appeals, and that is just not good enough! - so the only options left for me is to both archive my active caches and to not renew my Premium membership [xx(].
While both of these things will happen this year (after 15 or 16 years continuous premium membership), I may continue to look for both GA and GC caches, and you may still see me at occasional events or perhaps in the field.
There is a bit of a chance that this cache will re-appear as a GA cache - check for it at https://geocaching.com.au/

Geocache Description:

The cache coordinates listed above are for a parking area in Bungendore Park near Armadale. The cache is not at those coordinates, but it is located nearby.

I first met Miss Terry many many years ago, when I was only a young child, and this Grand Old Lady would sit me on her lap and tell me wonderful stories of mysterious lands across the seas. Later, as I grew older, we talked of undiscovered lands and immense fortunes hidden in long forgotten places, and of the discoveries made on her expeditions into some of these mysterious lands. I spent many, many days with this marvelously Magnetic woman, talking, listening and learning but now, as the years go by she is growing older and she told me that she has much that she wants to pass on to younger generations before her time comes.

Though she is aging gracefully, she is becoming more forgetful and she often leaves things lying around, sometimes forgetting where she put them. At times, I have watched her sneaking about hiding things, then shuffling off chuckling or laughing quietly to herself, leaving only one or two clues as to where she hid her 'booty'. Sometimes, she told me, she hides clues and over time she forgets where she hid them, while on other occasions, she claims to have laid down false clues. She told me recently that she has left a vast fortune somewhere but can't remember where she put it, or where she left the clues, or even if she left clues at all, but said that she will try to remember for us.

When I last talked to her she was very tired, and told me of a small cache that she had left not too far from a large gum tree, but she could could not remember exactly where. She asked me to go out and look for it, but I told her that I don't have the time just at present but that I'd ask some friends for help in locating it. Just before she fell asleep, she mumbled something about it being close to a parking area and that there was a clue, but then she was asleep. I searched quietly around on both the kitchen and Dining tables, and I also looked through all of the books in the Bookshelf, but I couldn't find the clue (if she really left one).

The cache container can be found at S 32 11.089 - E 116 02.919
