Geocache Description:

The passing of another 12 months and the beginning of a new year is a time for celebration, often marked by parties and fireworks.

This puzzle is a bit of fun to celebrate the year that was and to welcome the New Year.


The above listed coordinates are near Montefiore Hill. The cache is not there, but is a short walk, ride or drive about 1.5km away. However, Montefiore Hill is a great spot for a view over Adelaide and would be an ideal place to watch fireworks over the city.

The cache can be found at S34 54.ABC, E138 35.XYZ.

Use the image below, based on a photo of Adelaide by night from Montefiore Hill, to determine the decimal fractions of the minutes.




You are looking for a small sistema container with a logbook, pencil and a few New Year ’s Eve party items. It also contains an unactivated FTF geocoin for the first finder to start the new year.

Enjoy, and have a great New Year!
