Description
Across the road from the Fern Park Pony Club Centre
This cache has been set as part of the Geosports winter game so we can meet the requirements for the Equestrian challenge. The Fern Park Pony Club grounds, across the road from the top end of the Fern Glade Reserve, can be a very busy spot at times but deserted at others so you might have to pick your moment, although you should be able to search without being too obvious. Tried to find out more information about the pony club but their website is out of date and didn't provide much to go on.
Fern Glade is a lovely bush reserve on the outskirts of the city of Burnie. One of the highlights of a walk throught the reserve is the chance of spotting a platypus in the river. Hope you're lucky enough to see one. What you might also see are Pokemon Go players as there are several pokestops and pokegyms in the reseve. Don't you just love it that cachers aren't the dodgy ones any more!!!
There are at least nine other caches in the reserve that we know of and it's also a favourite hiding spot for moveable caches.
The cache is a small black magnetic container with a My Little Pony sticker inside the lid. Please rehide carefully so the cache can't be seen by casual observers.

We were looking in different places, then I found this one by the hint. It did take some time to open the container though!
Found with AlbyDangles on Day Two of the 'Bust leg of our "Kempsey or Bust" tour.
Full log to follow.
Cheers, EPs
EeePees soon found this one but it was a while before we managed to get the container open.
Today was the second day of a road trip with EeePees.
Found on Friday, 03 July 2020
