Geocache Description:

This cache isn't at this location. In fact, it may not be anywhere near here at all - I just liked the look of the co-ordinate numbers (it's less than 1.609344km away though!).

To find this cache, you need to be able to complete the below crossword. To do that, you will need to find the words printed on the inside lid of the following six caches.

Once you've got those, put the words you've collected into the cross word below. You are observant though and you know there are two more words. These need to be researched (the web is your friend) - all eight words are names of similar objects. Go on, complete the crossword.

Now, using the key below, we're going to convert fifteen of the characters in boxes above into single digits, to create our proper lat and long. So an example is C2. Using the crossword above, the grid reference C2 is actually the letter B. Using the key below, B equals 2. Get it? Good.

Ready to work the GZ out? Great!

Oh, one more thing...because once you've found a couple of the caches above, you could possibly work out what the other words are, so we've added a twist. You need to double the results of the grid references below which point to any part of the two extra words (so, using our earlier example, the reference C2 is B, which is 2, but if this was one of the words not on caches (the red words are just normal scores), then it would have become 4). This means you may want to actually visit all the caches above, instead of relying on web surfing to help you!

The real co-ordinates are:

South: [d5][f2] [h9][f9].[b10][j11][d12]

East: [e5][d10][c1] [b8][a9].[e4][a11][b1]

Easy, wasn't it? Good luck!

There's an unactivated Aussie Travel Bear for FTF, and certificates for FTF, 2TF &3TF.
