Geocache Description:

This is an 'Adventure Cache' located in the bush behind 'Third Lagoon'. This cache could take some time.

Adventurer Hobson, has crashed into the Jungle on an island and needs rescuing. Hobson managed to get one radio message out to say that he had found safety at the Ancient Ruins, but the radio died before the location could accurately be determined.

Your help is needed! You will be dropped into a clearing (carpark) near to the crash site. Once on the ground make your way through to the crash site and start your investigations.

Hobson is known for his resourcefulness, so would have left some form of trail so that he could be traced from his last known location. Unfortunately he is also known for his indecisiveness and so he may well have left more than one choice. The island is small so there should be no backtracking required.

It is recommended that you make a record of all the places that you have visited to prevent you revisiting a previous location.Why not log the numbers of the stops on your way, there are unique numbers on each of the clues that you find, that way following explorers can see which way you went.

There are rumours of a Gold Mine somewhere on the island, as well as a large Beehive from where the royal honey of the ancient inhabitants was retrieved. If you are lucky you may stumble on these as you make your way across the island.

Please do not expect good accuracy. The island is known for its strange properties. Accuracy changes on every visit. Start from your Ground Zero, then look around for any clues. Once you have found the first, you will know what to look for.

Good luck with your search!
