… make geocachers really dull people.
Anyway , back to business.
This multi-cache has a total driving time of 20mins and is about
11km long. It should take you about an hour to complete. You may
like to bring picnic lunch or barbie equipment as at final GZ you
will be able to enjoy the nearby picnic and BBQ facilities.
The cache contains the usual stuff as well as a “SoHo Dunny
Light” a fridge magnet, Yamaha TB and a FTF prize (for the
first person to find).
Stage 1: The above co-ordinates are round about the centre of
our town. You will need to find 2 plaques located close by. One
commemorating WWI soldiers, the other commemorating the first
commercial business in Kimba. The co-ordinates to the next location
are:
S 33 09.0A
E 136 25.5B
(A = the last two digits of the year the war memorial was laid plus
24, B = the last two digits of the year that Teddy Palmer opened
his “Pioneer Store” minus 3)
Stage 2: You will now find yourself at the dead centre of town.
Near here is the grave of the wife’s great grandmother
“Peacefully Sleeping” since 14th March 1964. The next
co-ordinates are:
S 33 0C.D10
E 136 23.7E
(C = twice the number of daughters, D = number of sons, E = her age
when she died minus 42)
Stage 3: Look for a phone number on a sign. You need this phone
number to find the East co-ordinate of the next waypoint.
S 33 08.297
E (phone number minus 727 98.803)
Stage 4: From one form of transport to another and one age to
another, this one is easy as you only need to find the co-ordinates
to the next location stamped into a plate located at this site.
Stage 5: It wasn’t just the tractors that got this country
going. These must be some of the hardest working blokes around and
this is a memorial to the profession. Tom Roberts painted the
original but local artist Fonz has recreated it using local
identities. You’ve seen how we work, now it's time for you to
go and play (and find the cache). Final co-ordinates are:
S 33 0X.305
E 136 25.0YZ
(X = last digit of the year multiplied by 2, Y = number of people
on the island, Z = number of people in the shed)
Well, we have taken you to some of our local attractions and if
you have time we would like to extend our invitation for you to
stay a while. You may like to visit the tourist information centre
close by the original co-ordinates to find out about other
attractions. There are also a few other caches in the district for
you to find if you haven’t already done so.
