Access
This cache is designed to be easy for all the family to take part
in. An able bodied adult or teen will be required for some minor
parts of the cache but all the family can easily stay within a few
metres of the action at all times. There are about 20 metres where
prams will not be able to be used but the rest is solid terrain 1.
If you desire a walk with the tiny tots a pram would be
handy but if not take an easy drive by instead.
History
Wile I haven't been able to find any specific hydro history about
the location it is most probable that there once was some as it
seems like a great place for it.
Some things to keep in mind
Given the cache name I thought I'd just say that no part of this
cache requires you to enter farmland or go over fences. In your
travels you may see stuff that belongs to muggles but is located on
public land. This stuff should be obvious and should be left
alone. All cache related items have cache info on / in them
i.e. stash note like info and are hidden out of muggles' way.
The Cache
Last week (there's our history
bit
) farmer Dee had a delivery of
some new equipment and he needs help to make it go. That's
where you come in. Go to the posted location and you should
find Farmer Dee's House and the new Equipment. Your job is:
get the equipment going. Please note it is hidden in a safe
spot where an able bodied older cacher will be needed to
retrieve it or a smaller cacher with help. Parents please note
we are talking a few kilograms
here
. Big cachers make sure you let
the small ones have a play too. Please take care with the
equipment as some of it isn't that easily replaceable.
After you've got it going you will notice wildlife frequenting
the area. Small cachers should count this while the older ones
enter the final digits of WP2. After that please carefully replace
all items where you found them.
WP2 Location
S 37° 44.Emus Koalas Magpies
E145° 38.Platypodes kookaburras Wallabies
Take care here not to leave tracks near waypoint 2 as this will
may result in muggling. If you take a close look you will see where
to carefully rest your foot while the next bit of info containing
the coordinates of GZ is retrieved. When retrieving the waypoint
tag please hold the metel object and do not pull on the laminated
tag or it will bust. This place was to be GZ but after
considerable attempts to hide a bucket here I chose to make it a
waypoint instead as the large bucket was just too
obvious

The cache is a 2.6ish litre Amo box labeled 'Geocache' and contains
a log book and
co
lour
ed pencils for small
cachers to leave a log and/or picture + the usual items. It is
hidden where small people will be able to reach and retrieve it
with ease.
This has been placed for the fun and exciting caching event 06
however the idea was conceived before last years event but shelved
due to lack of time then. Enjoy.....
