The cache is NOT located at the above coordinates!!!! These are the
coordinates for a famous Sunshine Coast landmark – Molly’s Reach,
former home of The Beachcombers.

Once you have found all 10 caches, you will have all the clues
to the final stage.
To find the coordinates of the final stage, first arrange your
clues in alphabetical order. Then, use the table below to match
each clue to the corresponding number. This results in a string of
10 digits. The first 5 digits form the mm.mmm of the Latitude you
are after and the last five digits form the mm.mmm of the
Longitude.

Plan for about a 30min hike to reach the cache. The trail is a
bit rough and steep in places, but it is a nice walk. Hang on to
small children!
There is a very steep area just before the cache (at least a
4-star terrain rating). The cache is NOT in this area, and there is
no need to go down here to find it! Explore at your own risk!
First, Second, and Third Finders - feel free to choose a prize.
After that, please trade fairly.
The inspiration for this series came from DocMagoo's
Valley Decachelon and the
Vancouver Decachelon by MrGigabyte.
Thanks to both of them for their awesome caches, and for permission
to use MrG's system for this series. I hope that they will come do
the Coast Decachelon some time.
