Geocache Description:

This cache has a unique twist………it’s locked!!!

The cache consists of three parts:
1. The Lock
2. The Stock and
3. The Barrel

Before you can claim the find for this cache you will need to locate one of these parts:

The Barrel
The Barrel is a Travel Bug made especially for the ACT NOTE: This Travel Bug is NOT to leave the ACT, however it has been made free to roll around the other Canberra caches and part of the challenge of this cache is to find where the barrel is aging (we only ask that you leave a note for the next cacher to inform them that you have collected the Barrel). Once you have captured The Barrel you can move onto locating the next piece of the cache.

The Lock
The Lock is a padlock that can only be opened by the Barrel and has been put in place to keep the last piece of the cache from escaping, the last piece being

The Stock
As with all caches the stock is the cache contents however this is no ordinary cache contents the cache has been started with a farmyard theme, and to keep with the name of the cache if possible we would like to continue the theme going.

After you have finished claiming the find for this cache please remember to take the Barrel with you and place it in to another ACT cache as soon as possible so that the next cacher can claim the find.

The difficulty for this cache has been set as 2.5, however this may not necessarily be the case, we have rated it this way as it is in the middle of the scale, and depending on where the Barrel is placed these may go up or down.

Access to GZ can only be gained via the following coordinates S 35° 19.574 E 149° 13.512

We have set the terrian rating to 1, this may also change given the time of day. The area is available 24hr however it is limited by a gate with no published hours of opening. If the gate is open you can drive to within 20m of the cache (along dirt roads), but if the gate is shut be prepared for a walk.

GZ is a place with some Canberran history and is not to far from the centre of town to assist in helping the Barrel move quickly. Cachers that have been in Canberra for a while will know this location as it was previously used for another cache, but there has been no cache here for quite sometime.

For those who don't know the history of the area more information can be found at the related web page.
