Geocache Description:

I hate fishing. I hate boats. Infact...I can’t even swim! Nevertheless, Hobart has a strong fishing and boating tradition going all the way back to its European discovery and indeed, thousands of years before that.

To find this cache, you will need to track down several sculptures/installations within walking distance of WP1 (150-200m) that document this tradition. After finding each waypoint you will need to locate information that will give you the coordinates for GZ.

WP1 (Listed Coordinates) Clue: Find a ship out of water with a date underneath it (XXXX).

* Sum of First Two Numbers = D
* Third Number = E

WP2 Clue: Where Able Tasman stands. Note the two dates on the largest plaque at this installation (XXXX XXXX).

* Second Number, date one = F
* Last Number, date one = C
* Third Number, date two = A

WP3 Clue: Something a Whaler would use although it might be mistaken for a Harry Potter prop.

* Number of paragraphs = B

GZ: S42 AB.CCD E147 CE.EBF

Cache is a micro (nano); a fish might even mistake it for food! No need to trespass on adjacent garden (private property).

Edit: No local knowledge is neccessary. You will need to search for waypoints using the clues provided.
