The 12 Days of Cachemas (TDOC23) is a series of 78 caches, events and adventure labs placed across Victoria to celebrate Cachemas in July in 2023. The series is a joint initiative of Geocaching Victoria and the local community to release caches in a different category each day across the state. We hope you have as much fun finding this series, as we had placing them. Now on to the cache.
On the eleventh day of Cachemas, Signal gave to me,
eleven multis staging,
ten mysteries solving,
nine letters boxing,
eight gadgets tricking,
seven TOTTs a-needing,
six events meeting,
five adventure labs,
four active CITO's,
three quirky challenges,
two earthcaches
and a wherigo up in a tree.
Estimated time to complete: 15min
Estimated distance to travel: 250m
A Cachemas Multi-Cache
At the listed coordinates you are looking for a small-sized, disguised Christmas decoration hanging in a cherry ballart (early European settlers used branches of this tree as Christmas trees). Once found, use your UV torch to reveal the final coordinates of a regular-sized cache container located a short distance away.
UV torch tip:Â A "3-in-1 laser pointer" from a $2 shop includes a sufficiently powerful UV torch.
*** Please keep to the paths ***
Once you have the final coordinates, don't go cross-country, but retreat back to the path from the listed coordinates and proceed TO THE RIGHT along the paths to GZ. The cache has been intentionally placed so that you do not ever need to leave the path to find it. The aim is to ensure that this beautiful area is protected from any environmental damage.
Christmas cracker bonus
Once you have opened the cache, use your UV torch to deliver some **HILARIOUS** Christmas cracker punchlines for the jokes you find inside.
