Geocache Description:


The above coordinates are false – the cache is not there nor are there any clues nearby!

Geogeorge needed some money for a new GPSr unit as his old one simply did not have the features he wanted. His parents just laughed at him when he asked them for money and told him to get a part-time job. After much thought he decided he would try delivering junk mail to see if he could earn the funds he so desperately wanted.

He found an advertisement in the local newspaper and rang the number listed. Unfortunately for Geogeorge there weren’t any big routes left in Shepparton, only small rounds and fragments of rounds that no one else wanted, mostly in the newer estates. He contemplated this for a while, but eventually his desire for a new GPSr lured him into accepting the short routes.

He was allocated 9 different routes, but some of them required 2 deliveries a week and 1 route had 4 articles per week to be delivered.

Route 3: Feshti Street; 14-31 Hawdon Street; 15-31 Glenn Street; Annerley Avenue and Glenlyon Street between Hawdon and Glenn Streets

Route 16: 6-14 Kookaburra St; 35-53 Plover Drive

Route 24: Coburn St; 1-13 Ramsey St; Melrose Circuit

Route 35: 1-9 Yellowgum Drive; Cimmaron Way between Yellowgum and Watergum; Watergum Place; Pyrus Crt

Route 41: McLeod Place; Wonga Place; Bulloo Place; 59-75 Waranga Drive

Route 45: Mozart Ave; Strauss Ave; Cezanne Drive

Route 48A: Fadden Close; Menzies Crescent west to Parkside Drive; 103-114 Parkside Drive; Scullin Crt

Route 48B: 1-34 Menzies Crescent; Parkside Drive between Menzies Crescent and Batman Ave

Route48C: 1-19 Bass Crt

Geogeorge worked out the following roster to minimize how much he had to ride his bike. His pay week runs from Wednesday to Tuesday:

Wednesday: Routes 48B&C & 35

Thursday: Routes 48A, 48B x2 (2 articles to be delivered)

Friday: Routes 45, 16 & 3

Monday: Routes 41, 24 & 48B

Tuesday: Routes 35, 16 & 48C

After a few weeks Geogeorge started to get fed up with working every night after school. He found that he could stash several routes worth of junk mail in the bush each week and no one complained. Of course he alternated which routes he hid, but eventually he was caught out when his employer found his stash whilst walking one afternoon.

You now have all the information you need to find the location of his stash. As this is our first hide, any advice and/or criticism is welcomed so we can improve your experience when placing any future caches.
