The 12 Days of Cachemas (TDOC24) is a series of caches placed across Victoria to celebrate Cachemas in July in 2024. The series is a joint initiative of Geocaching Victoria and the local community to release caches in a different category each day across the state. We hope you have as much fun finding this series, as we all had placing them. A geocaching list of the full series is available at https://coord.info/BMDGW0P
On the third day of Cachemas, Signal gave to me,
one night hide,
two earthcaches,
and a wherigo up in a tree.
Santa was on vacation, flying over Wangaratta and the Warby Ranges, when he lost his list of boys and girls who have been nice for the year and deserving of presents. He is looking for it desperately and hoping to find it again before next Christmas.
Being a magical list, only Santa can see who is on it. But if a Geocacher were to add their name to the parchment there's a chance they would be permanently added for all time.
Santa has been spotted doing fly-bys consistently from two locations. Head to the posted coordinates and follow the white snowflake reflectors through the bush and see if you can find the two locations where you will spot Santa above in the trees. Once you spot him you will learn his flight bearing. He's obviously looking for the list somewhere near where his flight paths cross.
There's a very good chance that the list has become snagged HIGH up in the trees. You might be able to fish it out if you have the right equipment...
HAPPY CACHING!! GOOD LUCK!
