This cache is in a lovely seaside town on the Bellarine Peninsula, about 25 mins from Geelong.
This seaside town is a small community for most of the year until the Summer, when it explodes with campers right along the foreshore swelling the population by several thousands.
Near the shore, the wreck of a paddle steamer can be seen -it was being towed to form a breakwater and was wrecked just off the beach.
Now to find the cache you will have to answer the following questions:
1/ What Year did John Batman form a base in this area?
Base = ABCD
2/ What Year did Matthew Flinders land here and cross to the You Yangs
Year = EFGH
3/ What date was this Plaque unveiled:
Unveiling = IJ/K/LMNO
4/ How many years was the Plaque unveiling to commemorate ?
commemorate = PQR years
Now to the Cache:
PQR + IJ = STU
STU + J = VWX
8847 + VWX = YZZZ
S38 0Y.ZZZ
Then
PQR – IJ – 20 = END
43103 – END = FINAL
E144 FI.NAL
S38 0Y.ZZZ
E144 FI.NAL
You may ask how did I get the name. Well Bob is my Dad who occassionally helps with caches, so this is named after him. The Batman beach will be straighforward when you get there.
This cache is a 2 litre container with lots of Goodies, Logbook and pen.
F.T.F For the First To Find, there is a brand new Australian All Leather Wallet and Keyring.
NB: Stealth will be required at times. This is also an area where there may be Box Thorn, I didn't see any when placing cache but It is around the vicinity.
