Geocache Description:


A straight forward Multi, nothing hard about this one. Look around and find the clues, then find the cache. Almost a DIDO.

This Cache has been placed here because it holds special significance to our family.
Our uncle was the Electrical engineer who worked here from its beginning until he retired from work at this Power station.
We would come here as children and he would take us through and show us the Hydro Electric Generators in action.
The other significant reason is, it is our sons 6th Birthday and he asked for a Cache to mark the occasion. What more can you ask for? A great place to visit and Geocache as well.
The Original contents of the Cache are toys for all the Geo kids that will grow to become proficient Cachers.
If you happen to arrive here at around 9:45am or 10:45am look high above the waterfall and you may glimpse the Kuranda Tourist Train as it passes over the Bridge.

Using the numbers at the published Coordinates and from signs around the area, use the answers to calculate the final cache position.

Numbers on Sign at 1st Coordinates = A.B.C
Limit on Bridge = D.E
This Power Station has been providing Clean. Green power since = F.G.H.I.

Head to S16°.5F.DCB E145°.38.G(H-A)E
Note: only math involved is within the brackets.

In consideration, all we would like to say is be careful when looking for the cache. It should only be attempted by reasonably agile adults or older children. It is placed at ground level, but still quite high and close to the edge.

Watch out for muggles as this area can be quite busy at times.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting.
