Geocache Description:

One of the caches in the Deltora Quest series.


The evil Shadow Lord is plotting to invade Deltora and enslave its people. All that stands against him is the magic Belt of Deltora with its seven gems of great and mysterious power. When the gems are stolen and hidden in dark, terrible places throughout the kingdom, the Shadow Lord triumphs and Deltora is lost. In secrecy, with only a hand drawn map to guide them.

Our geocachers, with nothing in common but their hatred of the evil one, are on a perilous quest to find the gems stolen from the magic Belt of Deltora. Only when all the gems have been restored to the Belt can the evil Shadow Lord be overthrown. They will need courage to move on in their search for the cache. But none of them can know what horrors await them in the forbidden City of the Rats.

Beware the evil snake Reeah guardian of the secret location where the cache is hidden. Reeah is a giant snake with a body that is as thick as an ancient tree trunk. The snake’s vanity and wickedness knows no bounds.

The cache contains a logbook, pencil, swaps and a card with a gem clue. Remember to record the details of the clue; you will need this information to solve the location of the final cache in the Deltora Quest. These caches have been placed with the assistance of seven and twelve year old boys. If you know a child in this age range you may find that they can be very helpful.
