Description

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates but it is nearby.

The listed coordinates take you to what I call a ‘seat of contemplation’. Many moons ago I used this seat and great location to ponder life. The serenity of the nearby water. The trees. The general surroundings here are very pleasant. Even the occasional passing muggle usually passes by silently.

One time while I was contemplating on the seat, a couple walked by and I heard Hoop Pine in the conversation. I don’t know why I only heard those two words but it made me focus on the great tree in front of me, which is not a Hoop Pine. I remembered thinking this spot derserves a geocache, so, here we are.

A Geocaching Australia First To Find pathtag awaits the first finder.
