Geocache Description:

The Travelling South caches are for those unfortunates who have to drive this incredibly boring road on their way to Geelong. They are just quick drive-bys, but be very careful exiting and entering the stream of fast moving traffic.

The Werribee Open range Zoo is behind this fence. It is 225 hectares of open Savannah with all the animals that like a bit more room to walk around (and have promised not to eat each other).

Along the length of the zoo are five large panels featuring animals. Your task is to pick which animal is depicted from the multiple choices

This is best done with a passenger, or by pulling off the road - no high speed glances!


Note: There is no need to stop on the freeway for the final - there are other ways to get this cache!

The panels are located at:

Zoo 1 37 54.757 144 40.780
If the animal is a: African wild dog, then A = 3; Snow leopard. then A = 4; Lion, then A = 6

Zoo 2 37 54.846 144 40.519
If the animal is a: Wallaby, then B = 1; Waterbuck, then B = 9; Zebra, then B = 3

Zoo 3 37 54.944 144 40.234
If the animal is a: Elephant, then C = 1; Hippo, then C = 5; Rhino, then C = 9

Zoo 4 37 55.031 144 39.979
If the animal is a: Brolga, then D = 9; Giraffe, then D = 8; Meerkat, then D = 7

Zoo 5 37 55.131 144 39.682
If the animal is a: Great ape, then E = 8; Hippo, then E = 7; Wombat, then E = 9



Now to work out the final location:
37 5(A+1).ABC 144 3D.EDE

It is well worth a visit over the fence to see the animals in person.
(Just not from here!)
