We walked through the park tonight gathering the required information along the way to gain the final co-ordinance. With the final co-ordinance on hand it was off to ground zero where a fast and easy find was made and the logbook was signed. TFTC
Finally pulled my finger out and took a stroll around the reserve. Gathered the required information from the signs and zeroed in on the final destination. A quick find was made and I was on my way. TFTMC

The cache was quickly located at the final but unfortunately we picked up a lot of 'buzzies' near it which had to be removed before the dogs went home. We have enough of them on our own farm without importing more seed!!!!
Have cached in the lower half of this reserve before but never been to the top.
Thanks.
Summer Scavenger Series 2016/17 and enjoyed the wander through this reserve. A straightforward multi and quick find due to accurate co ordinates.
Thanks 2y'stassies for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
With final coords in hand soon found cache all tucked away. Chock full of goodies as usual. Now to get back up the hill....had a few stops but made it easily enough....very good exercise.
Thoroughly enjoyed the multi...no other logs so FTF an absolute bonus.
TFTEC 2y's....cheers ST.
