COR, that was a lot of Wharf! Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Robmc: Not only has the sign disappeared, but they have removed the whole wharf as well.
So this cache has no reason to exist, and I am archiving it.
Thanks to all the finders, Robmc.

Geocache Description:

There is only a little bit left. Come and read its story.

It's all about Oil.
Read the story, do a few calculations, a short walk (not too far, I promise!), and the cache will be yours.

The first photo, Discharging bulk, when? ABCD
The Facility consisted of over how many feet of timber sheet piling? EFG
BIO acquired how many acres of land nearby? HJ
The Yarra was widened by how many feet? KL over a distance of how many feet? MNPQ
Another photo shows tankers unloading at berths R and S
COR (later BP) established a bulk oil and fuel terminal, when? TUVW
After all the dust has settled how many meters of wall are left? XY

Now some calculations: (Take a seat! Oh, no seats around!)

I guess you know that the Southerly co-ords will be 37 50. something,
and the Easterly will be 144 53 something else, after all I did say a short walk.

So the bits you are really interested in are:
South: (MNPQ - TUVW) * S + KL - (H+J)
East: EFG - XY - AC

Have a nice walk.
