Geocache Description:


The starting Co-ords will take you to a memorial of a tragic story that happened at Hardwicke Bay.

Donoghue had been staying at Hardwicke Bay with friends. He left to go windsurfing at midday. One of his friends saw him windsurfing mid-afternoon but when he hadn't returned by early evening and his friends could not see him on the bay, they conducted a search along the shoreline and then reported his disappearance to the police. After an extensive search of the area by police and locals all that was located was his sailboard and wetsuit.

Tony Donoghue was declared Missing presumed dead most likely a result of a shark attack while windsurfing at Hardwicke Bay his body was never found.

What you need to do is look at the Memorial plaque of Tony Donoghue. Look for the third line then each number on that line from left to right will be represented by a letter from A-O then using those numbers work out the following to get you to the final.

S34° B(H-I-C).MN(O-C-D)
E137° A(J-E-L).(F-G)E(K+A+D)
