Description

Welcome to the Tucki Tucki Nature Reserve. It is known to be a good spot for Koalas to hang out as there is a lot of good tucker for them to tuck into here. Why not stop and stretch the legs and have a wander around the short trail here. Look up to hunt for Koalas in the trees and look down to hunt for their scats as evidence they may be up there somewhere. Don't forget to look around for the caches hidden at this reserve. There is room to park here with a large vehicle or something in tow as it is drivethrough.

#3 coordinates can be found by solving this jigsaw. It is a D3, so don't complain about the number of peices. haha.

It is a short walk over a rough paved track down a slight hill. Cache is off the track a little ways. Tree cover can make GPS signal tricky here so you may need the spoiler photo attached.

Should there be roadworks in the area and the reserve appear closed, try after work hours when the carpark is accessible. Google maps said it was closed when these caches were hidden, but that is only becasue the carpark is being used by roadworkers.

Fun Fact: Koalas have more features in common with Kangaroos than Bears, even though the scientist that gave them their technical name in 1816 saw it as a bear.

"The koala’s scientific name is Phascolarctos cinereus. Phascolarctos comes from the Greek words phaskolos, meaning ‘pouched’, and arktos, meaning ‘bear’. Cinerus is a term of Latin origin that describes ashy grey."
