Geocache Description:

Nowlan Park is a nice grassy area with a kids playground, open spaces and links to cycleways of the area. Being on the edge of town, it is often frequented by kangaroos and wallabies, often around dusk and dawn. This cache and location is suitable for the whole family.

I guess Singleton Council wanted everyone to be able to mingle with the 'roos regardless of the time of day, so they have introduced a special variety, and being very tolerant of humans, you can even pat or hug them! Carefully count the number of individuals (don't forget to include joeys in pouches too - they count as separate individuals!) residing in this park (disregard any in the design of the soft-fall surfaces, and don't include any on the Northern side of the road, near the pond). This will give you the special number. Multiply the special number by 30, then subtract 20 from your answer. Add this number to the decimal part of the South Co-ordinates minutes listed for this geocache: S32° 32.061 Multiply the special number by 10. Replace the first three digits of the East Co-ordinates minutes with your answer E151° 09.946 These new co-ordinates will lead you to the final cache location. :) You do not need to cross any roads to retrieve the cache. Some stealth to retrieve cache may be required as it's nearby a popular route for walkers and cyclists. As per usual, please make sure no-one sees you retrieve the cache and please replace it so as not to be seen by potential muggles. There is a parking area just to the North of Waypoint 1. Cache is a small rectangular clear plastic container (920mL). Please BYO pen / pencil. Small swaps and trackables are welcome. This is Version 2 of the hiding place, the first one was rendered unsuitable by unexpectedly high flooding in June 2007 Please note: The final location is an urban cache in a muggle frequented area, stealth is normally required. The cache is hidden so muggles should not find it, please try not to give away the location or create unwanted attention - people may be watching!
