Geocache Description:



This cache is not at the listed co-ordinates although it is not far away.




The local salt lake, “lake knockout” is a special place for visitors and locals alike. Visitors are amazed by the breathtaking mirror images of the flinders ranges across it’s calm waters. The locals now are used to the smell and measures have been put in place to stop the white froth blowing across the highway.

It is a well known fact that this lake on it’s day can smell bad! But how bad?

Well I have installed a smell’o’metre nearby and connected it to an unknown power supply.

The smell’o’meter today is reading MAX, meaning the lake’s smell is particularly bad.

The smell’o’meter draws a maximum of 12 Amps of electrical current and is a resistive load of 46171 Ohms.

To find GZ you will need to work out how much Power is dissipated by the smell’o’meter at this time.


Use only the first six numbers of your answer.

The Cache can be found at S32 30.??? E137 47.???.

GZ is very exposed so please engage extreme stealth mode.

A camera might make you look a lot less suspicious, plus the reflection from the lake can be breathtaking, but so can the smell!

Good luck and happy caching.
