Geocache Description:

A little puzzle for you to pass the time until the ferry leaves.

The cache is one of a series of three. Two to be found at/near the car and passenger ferry terminals here in Townsville (GC2J0GA and GC2J0GD) and the third one hidden at/near the ferry terminal on Magnetic Island (GC2J44V).

To solve this puzzle cache you have to solve the crossword puzzle you find as an uploaded image below. You will notice that some squares are coloured, to figure out the coordinates you have to replace the letters in those squares with their value in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc.)

The cache can be found at:
S 19* 15 . orange - red - purple
E146* 49 . yellow - red - yellow

The cache container has cache note, logbook, pencil, clue for GC2J44V and a few swaps in it. GCs and small TBs will fit in. There is also a small prize for the first finder of the cache :-)

Important:
Cache is only accessible between 5:30am - 7:30pm Mo-Fri and 7:00am - 7:30pm Sat-Sun.
