Geocache Description:

The cache container is a regular sized Milo tin. The cache is full of goodies including a brand new Geocoin. The cache is not physically located at the posted coordinates.

In order to locate the actual cache you will have to carry out the following calculations:

If you were standing at the posted coords the cache is on a true bearing of 225 degrees. If you were standing at 'Howzat' (GC15KHD) it is on a true bearing of 311 degrees.
Where these two bearings meet you will locate the cache.

As an additional clue, if you were standing at 'The Leper Colony' (GC11ZFT) it is approximately 13.2 km away.

You will need to be fairly accurate in your calculations, due to the distances of the reference points, otherwise you could be a fair distance out. To that end I have also included a Geochecker link that you can check your coordinates on. The accuracy on this link has been set to within a 30 metre radius and I would strongly suggest using this link prior to going and looking for the cache to avoid dissapointment

Once the coordinates are calculated the cache itself should be a fairly simple find. Some well formed dirt roads and a small section of a secondary tracks will lead you to the cache. 4WD may be preferable in the wet season.

Good luck and enjoy!
