Geocache Description:


Hagar the Horrible (visit link) is married to Helga (visit link) who is a stay-at-home Valkyrie. They have a daughter, Honi (her Swedish name is Brynhilde) (visit link) who is an old maid at the age of 16. Their son, Hamlet (visit link), is a complete mystery to the family; he enjoys reading more than pillaging. Hamlet is plagued by Hernia, (visit link) the local tomboy, who thinks he's dreamy. Kvack, a duck, and Snert (visit link) , also belong to the family.
The Tax Collector (visit link) is a small shrimpy man who wears a uniform that looks almost like a graduation cap and gown, and travels around the country to collect taxes. He travels together with The Executioner, whose mere appearance easily overcomes any reluctance to pay the taxes.

Helga's mother is a stereotypical mother-in-law.



Manly Warringah War Memorial Park was once known as Manly Dam. It supplied water for Manly and Northern Beaches of Sydney. This use was abandoned after the Second World War and the area became a recreational park. It is now a dedicated war memorial. Apart from boating, water skiing and swimming, the area has some wonderful walking trails and picnic areas.

The easiest way to locate the cache is from the Aquatic Centre, where you may also park your car. Follow the walking track towards Manly Dam. When you are about halfway, find the hidden path and follow it.

The cache is located 8-10 meters off the track, so a little bit of bush bashing is required at the end.

Your challenge will be to find the hidden path. The cache is a 1 liter container which can take swaps that are not too large.
