Letterboxing originated in Dartmoor, England in 1854, when a guide placed a bottle for people to leave visiting cards. People started leaving postcards in boxes across Dartmoor, pre-addressed to someone (or themselves).. The next finder would take the card & place it in the mail. The pastime became known as "letterboxing". The hobby developed into something that combines orienteering, puzzle solving and treasure hunting skills.
A letterbox is normally a weatherproof box containing a unique rubber stamp and a log book. Clues are placed to lead other letterboxers to the location of the box. Once found, a letterboxer will stamp the box's log book with their own personal stamp, and stamp their personal log book with the box's stamp.
This letterbox will take you on a short stroll through Springwood. The listed coordinates for this cache will take you to the object in the first photograph. From there you will have to follow the series of photographs. These clues will lead you to the cache's hiding spot.
From the location shown in each of the photographs you should be able to see the next location. You might not be able to see the object in the photo, but its location will be visible. You will never need to cross back over the path you have already taken. At the last photo you will need your GPSr again.
There is a stamp in the container which must remain in the container. Please use it to stamp your personal letterbox book and place your personal stamp in the cache log, if you have one. If you do not have a stamp, just sign the log book as you would a normal cache.
When you are standing at the location shown in photo 40, take out your GPSr and project a waypoint 7m and 85º to find the cache.
The container you are looking for is an ammo tin. It is not the small, egg like container at the base of a stump. This other container is listed on Geocaching Australia and has no connection to this letterbox.
Thank you to WaywardWoman, NickoHeap and bikerbuddy for taking this cache for a test drive.
