Some of the clues to the crossword relate to certain SE QLD cachers and caches. Knowing a few of these team or cache names can help you, although you can easily find them on the geocaching website or figure them out from the clues.

When you've solved the crossword, write down each letter that appears in a red square from top to bottom, left to right. You'll then have to download a file HERE, open that file (it has been virus checked!!) and enter those letters (all uppercase) in the correct order to find where the cache is hidden.

This is not your common or garden type cache. If you don't like cryptic crosswords maybe give it a miss.

The Four Bears clue line will be available if you get really stuck.

Good luck!!
