tiddalik: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

In 1988, the then Ballan Shire placed 16 brass plaques around the Shire for the Australian Bicentennial. Most commemorate the original settlers of each area. I hope to set up a cache starting at each plaque if I can find them all. This is the third of the series. I hope you find the history of the area interesting.

To find the cache you need some information from the Bicentennial Plaque.

Is the plaque for
Anzac A = 1
Australia Day A=2
Remembrance Day A =3

Memorial

Footpath = B = 1
Monument = B = 2
Garden B = 3

How many words on the first line of the plaque? = C

How many words on the third line of the plaque? = D

On the adjacent plaque, men and women from which world war are remembered? = E

Cache is a short walk away at
S 37° 28.(AxE)(C+D)(B+D+E)
E 144°18.(A+B)(B+E)(C-B-E)

When searching for cache please be aware of muggles, particularly the local dog walking kind, and watch out for blackberries, snakes and kangaroos!
