Description

A simple offset multi placed at the midway point of the Frost Hollow to Forest Walk.
It is a footpad trail that can be accessed at the starting coordinates from the Finneran's Road trail.

At the starting coordinates you will find a sign - read the sign to find the following information to calculate GZ

     A = the second number in the year that the steps and crossbanks were first constructed

     B = the first number in the year that the signs were renewed

     C = number of letters in the last name of the couple who provided 'kind permission'

     D = the number of letters in the last name of the person who provided the Drawings

S35 16.(C/B) (D-B) (A-6)   E149 04.(B+C )B B

It has just become evident to me that in my haste to claim this cache as part of the Triathlon in Geosportz, that I forgot to actually log it here first. My sincere apologies to the Reviewers for increasing their work load. I did in fact wander Frost Hollow . It took me ages to find the cache because I didn't read properly. I wandered way off to the opposite side of the paddock wondering how it could possibly be there.
Eventually a light bulb moment after re reading the description and back I went to the sign. OK I fixed the coordinates and in no time at all I was at GZ signing the log. Thanks KK for this multi which has come in very handy during the 2024 Geosportz. DancingDancingClan CerberusClan Cerberus

We had a lovely walk in the Aranda bushland. This was a unambiguous multicache and then a quick find. Cache and log are good. TFTC Kittykatch.

Needed a GA cache as well so headed out to this familiar area to give this one go. No issues with the calculations and I was soon off to GZ. Once there the cache was a quick find and my name was soon in the log. Couple of muggles have found it and put there names in it, but no issues....just need DSD and Loci to log it now.

Thanks KK....all good here....and good to have another multi on our site. Very HappyVery Happy

Out for a nice close by walk in nature this warm afternoon to do some maintenance and find some GCAs.

Looks like DSD and Loci have found this recently too.

Accidental find with DSD....!
Sorry for the very late log, I rarely log into the GCA website, and forgot about this.
We were hiding caches in Aranda and stumbled across this perfect place for a cache, only problem is that there was already a a cache here!
I was then going through my photos today and saw a photo of this logbook, and decided I better log it.

Thanks to Flintstone's and Sol de Lune for mentioning us, I knew this is the cache we found!
