Geocache Description:

Take a break from traveling the Hume and enjoy a pleasant walk around some of the many historic sites in the North East’s City of Roses.

You will need paper and a writing implement (unless you have an exceptional memory)

This cache should take approximately 45 minutes to complete


The numbers for the coordinates are derived from years on Historic Markers/Plaques using a ‘numerology method’ until a single digit is obtained e.g. for the year 1956 perform the calculation as follows:

1956
=> 1 + 9 + 5 + 6 = 21
=> 2 + 1 = 3
The number obtained for the year 1956 is 3

The cache is a micro (as of 05/02/07 due to being twice muggled) and contains a log only (small geocoins will fit)

Please BYO pen

You will find it convenient (in the long run) to park your car adjacent to the Rose Gardens and cross the road to the first location
