This is 10 year old geogirl’s first hide. The theme and placement
are all her idea.
The above coordinates will take you near some conveniences in a
small country town. Nearby is an unusual object where you
willgather some information to then take you to the cache.
A = the number of power poles pictured
B = the number of battleships pictured
C = the number of red shoes
D = the number of birds on a wire
E = the number of purely red ruby tiles
F = the number of children pictured
Back in the vehicle and off for a short drive to the famous
landmark. The local website has the following description:
"On the eastern edge of the township is a remarkably exact
triangle of granite stone which explorer Major Thomas Mitchell
surmounted in 1836. He named it for its similarity to 'the
monuments of Egypt.' A cairn on the southern slopes commemorates
his discovery. From the top of the hill, which rises 100m, there is
a wonderful view of the township and surrounding irrigated
farmlands. In spring many varieties of rare wildflowers may be
found blooming among the rocks. There is a picnic area and shelter
with barbecue and toilet facilities and a Braille trail from the
parking area to "the saddle" gives the elderly and visually
impaired a chance to enjoy the area. A picturesque 18 hole
sand-scrape golf course surrounds the hill, catering for members
and visitors between April and September."
We are not convinced that the blind or the elderly should
attempt the path and it can be quite treacherous coming down.
Geogirl insisted the hide be near the top. It is a long way from
the walking track and access requires clambering. The area can
be treacherous if moist and snake gully if hot.
The cache is a painted 1L sytema and is located at: S36° 03.ABC
E144° 08.DEF
