Geocache Description:


Your assistance is needed to find a cache hidden in the forest east of Brisbane. The terrain is flat but as with any bushland setting keep an eye out for mozzies, spiders and snakes.

Note the above coordinates are not the coordinates of the cache.

Several days ago catnappers were holding Tinklepoos, pet feline of Tingalpa’s wealthiest family, hostage. A ransom was exchanged for the safe return of Tinklepoos. No trace of the ransom or the purr-pet-traters was seen for three days until a tip-off led investigators to the catnappers’ hideout. The investigators found the following list of locations, one of which is where the ransom is hidden.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to assist the investigation and find the cache before the criminals do. Searching all the locations could take days and time is of the essence. You must use your geo-caching skills to eliminate the false locations and point the way to the one true location in order to beat the baddies to the cache.

Good luck.
