Geocache Description:

A very easy find once you find 12 other caches to get the coords.

The cache is not at the above coordinates, but it is located somewhere in Modong Nature Reserve very close to a walk trail. This is another part of the Jandakot Regional Park which is teeming with wildlife, as well as orchids and wildflowers in season.

This cache is the final destination of my Bonus Box cache. You will need the BB numbers from the back of the logbooks for the following caches:
WanAus 68 - South Perth RSL Gun
Archived, replaced by
WanAus 26 - Hume Road Wildlife Reserve
WanAus 70 - Canning River Walk WanAus 71 - Gurney VC Club Gun
Archived, replaced by
WanAus 13 - Jean Garvey Park V2

WanAus 11 - Mary Carroll Park?
WanAus 73 - Ballidu Or Bust WanAus 78 - Pingrup Pathways WanAus 95 - Round Tuit
WanAus 96 - The Pinnacles

WanAus 21 - Swingler Park

WanAus 10 - Sutherlands Park
WanAus 97 - Richard Guelfi Reserve WanAus 98 - Denis de Young Reserve
WanAus 99 - Gil Chalwell Reserve WanAus 101 - Balcatta Meets The Bush WanAus 102 - Hawker Park

You should have recorded ten three digit numbers and two four digit numbers from 68? to 102? (with some gaps). Sort the numbers into numerical sequence and assign the third digit of each three digit number to the letters A through J, and the fourth digit of each four digit number to the letters K through L (that is the BB numbers from all the log books). Note that for the archived caches you MUST record the numbers as 68?, 71? and 96? in order for them to sort correctly and assign the values to the correct variables. These numbers are listed in the log books as BB68?, BB71? and BB96? to avoid confusion.

The cache is located at S32 13.(A+D)(B-F)(C+L) E115 53.(F+J)(I-G)(H*K).
The checksum of all 15 digits in the final coords is 60.

There are two parking areas/reserve entry gates, one at S32 13.242 E115 53.586 and the other at S32 13.605 E115 54.234. I entered through one of those and exited through the other when scoping out the location, and really enjoyed the walk despite the lack of wildflowers. I was accompanied by a constant stream of birdsong.

The cache is now a drab camouflaged 2 litre round screw top container inside a drab camouflaged Milo tin, with log book, finders cards, pen, two pencils, sharpener, and a selection of swaps.

The prize for First To Find was a square cliplock container stocked with Hot Wheels 'Roll Cage' car, Little Miss Whoops, horse, sheepdog, pig, turtle, dinosaur, logbook, pencils & sharpener and ready to be placed, an unactivated Travel Bug, and of course a First To Find card.
The prize for Second To Find was a 450 ml round screwtop container stocked with Little Miss Daredevil, horse, sheep, pig, dinosaur, logbook, pencils & sharpener and ready to be placed, and of course a Second To Find card.
The prize for Third To Find was a round screwtop container stocked with goat, sheep, pig, dinosaur, logbook, pencils & sharpener and ready to be placed, and of course a Third To Find card.
The prize for Fourth To Find was a magnetic keycase containing a logbook ready to be placed, and of course a Fourth To Find card.

The other initial contents were finders cards, waiter's friend, fly/mosquito head net, emergency poncho, punching water ball, Hot Wheels Dream Garage 'Ferrari F430 Spider' car, log book, pen, pencil & sharpener.

When trading items please consider trading up or trading even and leaving items that you would want to find, and please don't take the pen, pencils or sharpener. If you can't trade up or trade even I don't mind seeing TNLNSL in the log. Also please don't put the pen or pencils in the log book bag, it tends to destroy the watertight integrity.

Trackables (geocoins and travel bugs) are not tradeable items. Please feel free to take them without making a trade, but please leave a note in the logbook and your online log, and do log them online.

First To Find Award Congratulations to
R0gue
on the First To Find.
