Geocache Description:

The cache is not hidden at the coordinates provided, you need to find the Loch Gillooly's Monster to get the final coordinates.

You are a famous Monster Hunter, and have been called to Gillooly's Farm to try catch the legendary Loch Gillooly's Monster which has just been spotted in the lake again.

Situated in the east of Johannesburg in Bedfordview, Gillooly's Farm is a 44ha piece of land that is famous for its walking trails, birds and recreational areas. With more than 50 bird species at the farm like White-breasted Cormorant, Reed Cormorant, African Darter, Grey Heron, Cattle Egret, White Stork, Egyptian Goose, Yellow-billed Duck, House Sparrow and Cape Wagtail, Gillooly’s is a must-see for bird lovers and aspiring bird watchers. The farm also has a large man-made lake, which is home to a number of fish species like the Common Carp, Blue Kurper and Sharptooth Catfish (Barbel). There are a number of picnic spots around the dam where families can relax and watch the birds, while the kids play.

The monster was seen in the deeper water, which due to your previous research you know to be between these 4 sets of coordinates:

S26 09.940 E028 07.770
S26 09.940 E028 07.820
S26 09.990 E028 07.770
S26 09.990 E028 07.820

To catch the Monster, you need to tell GeoCheck where to cast your net between these coordinates, and see if you can catch him. GeoCheck has a special Monster detector built into it, and will tell you how close you are to catching it.


Once you catch the Monster, GeoCheck will give you another set of coordinates, which is where the cache is hidden.

According to the sign at the gate, the park opens at 6:00am, and dogs need to be kept on leashes.
