Description
J & J's forty-seventh geocache hide. A large geocache containing stubby holders as swaps.
The geocache is not at the listed coordinates, however this is a good place to park your car.
Walking around Scott Creek Conservation Park is thirsty work, and while this cache can't offer you a nice cold beer, it can supply you with something to keep a beer cold.
In the same vein as SA_Parrothead's 'Dont be a mug', 'Cap this off' and 'Suck on this', we are proud to offer geocachers a chance to swap an unwanted stubby holder of their own, for one in this large sized cache.
To find the true location of the geocache, you will have to do a little research into Mr J's favourite beer, Southwark Bitter.
You can learn about the history of Southwark Bitter here --> LINK, and also find the answers to the following questions.
The year that Nathan Bitter was first brewed was 1ABC
WB Lager was put out in the early 1DEF's
Southwark Bitter earned the nickname Green Death in the 1GHJ's
The IBU bitterness rating of Southwark Bitter is KL
The geocache can be found at:
S35° 04. D H L
E138° 39. (A-B) (G-H) L
At the calculated position you will find a 20 litre plastic bucket painted in cammo colours. It contains a variety of different stubby holders, as well as the usual log book, pen, stash note and dessicant.
Remember folks, beer is not the answer. Beer is the question, "Yes" is the answer.
Happy hunting!

A nice little puzzle and then a quick find at GZ today. National Parks have found the cache, saved it from a fire and then wrote about their visit in the book!
TFTC
Was in the area for a GC cache and spotted this so solved it on the side of the road and made my to gz nearby.
Was apprehensive on approach as it looked like a scrub fire may have claimed a victim but i recon this was placed post fire.
What a huge cache. A legit large
Big points from me. Well done.
*Overall Experience: 5*
But I got there eventually, found the cache, signed the log then headed off to get a coldie to celebrate my days efforts
Cheers & TFTC J&J
