Geocache Description:

A small camouflaged clip container about the size of a banana (but not as bendy).

Please take care when replacing, one cache has been lost due to the fragile nature of it's home.

Australia is a place that I love to visit and loathe to leave, having just done so I decided to bring a little bit back. The contents of the cache are Australia themed as follows.

Log Book & Pen
Koala keyring
20c, 10c 5c coins
Tooheys Beer bottle cap
Sydney Bus / Ferry Ticket
Ready Reckoner
Skateboard (very popular there) keyring
A selection of trackables recently imported from Australia.

There's also a $1million dollar keyring for the FTF

The above coordinates will take you to a car park. The cache location is very close but you will need to answer the following questions to work out the cache coordinates.
A. Write down all of the Australian states in alphabetical order and number them from 1 - ?, how many are there? A=
B. There is a Chelmsford in Australia, but which state is it in? Using the list you have made what number is this state? B=
C. There was a Sydney Harbour ferry called Lady Chelmsford (no connection) sadly it sunk in Victoria Harbour in February 2008, but on what date C=

Cache coordinates are

N51 42.7xx
E000 26.55x

Take the answer of C and add the numbers together, this is the first x of the northing. The second x = A-1. To complete the Easting halve B. Hopefully that makes some sort of sense.

This puzzle is easily solved with a few minutes or web searching.
