Geocache Description:

A walk around the north east corner of Adelaide CBD with your eyes looking upward. How often do you notice the little things in life?

Instructions
The image below contains 8 photos of scenes from Adelaide's skyline, labeled 'A' to 'H'. You need to determine the digits for 'A' to 'H' and then apply them to the location in the middle of the montage.
Start the cache at the initial coordinates and work out where photo 'A' was taken from within 2m, find the digits as per the clues below and calculate 'A'. Then move on to location 'B', determine exactly where the photo was taken etc.etc.
Your path should go clockwise around in a rough loop, with location 'H' somewhere near location 'A'.
Clues


All the clues are on signs within 2m of where the photo was taken from. If you are further away than 2m you may find the wrong sign ;-).
A: Street Sign with numbers of pattern xxx-xxx. Add the first and fourth digit.
B: Yellow number on the pole minus three.
C: Numbers of cars on pole plus four.
D: Number of letters on red sign subtract four.
E: Number of letters next to the cup.
F: Tag on pole WBwxyz, z minus y.
G: "..gate ??, gate ??,...gate xy". Add x and y.
H: Three tags GND-FS-x-y. Add the three x's and y's and subtract 11.
Final Location
The cache is a regular sized gray container. You will need a size 1 Phillips screwdriver to open it. (That's the fine one)
Small prizes for the first three finders.
