Geocache Description:

A simple multi-cache in The Rocks near Sydney CBD with a Matrix theme. To retrieve the cache, you will need to find a date on a plaque and add it some co-ordinates. As this is a multi, the cache is not at the listed co-ords.

The screenshot is a scene from the beginning of the first Matrix movie. The character Trinity's covert operation in the Matrix is compromised and she makes a superhuman dash for a phone box on the corner of Wells and Lake.

The phone rings and Trinity sprints to outrace a garbage truck driven by an Agent of the Matrix that is also racing to destroy the phone booth.

The movie was generally shot in Sydney. The waypoint takes you to where I think the phone call was made. The screenshot and the view south from the waypoint are remarkable similar.

I love the story telling element behind the scene. We are left wondering why is she running to answer a phone when she is obviously superhuman, yet unclear whether she is a superhero or supervillain.

Similarly, why is she running into danger rather than away from it.

Yet, unlike Superman, she runs into a phone booth rather than out of it. Nice humour there.

Back to the cache, at the waypoint there is a sculpture. On the ground in front of it is plaque. Find the first four digit number on it.

Add the last two digits to: S 33° 51.404 to get the Southling

Subtract the last two digits to: E 151° 12.290 to get the Eastling.

In line with the computer theme, you are looking for a plastic SD memory case. BYO pen.
