Marion - The Name Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Waldron: Marion Council has decided to replace the plaques with less informative information.

Sadly this one has to go after nearly 13 years.

Maybe I'll have a look at another using the new info.

Geocache Description:

Despite living nearby for nearly 20 years I'd never stopped and checked this out. An interesting bit of history about the township of Marion.

This is an easy 2 step multi cache.

Your starting location is a group of plaques recording the history of the naming and surveying of Marion.

You'll find the cache at:

S 35.00.abc
E 138.33.def

where:

a = Number of people that streets and localities are named after
b = Number of streets and localities that are named after people less 1
c = Which year in the 1830s was Marion surveyed? add 5
d = Which theory of the naming of Marion relates to O'Halloran's sister in law?
e = Line number on which "Survey and Sale" is written
f = Line number on which "Finniss Street to Sturt Road" is written less 1

Cache contains log book and pencil.

Have fun.
