Nick Nock Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

spiderwebbs4: Finally going to say goodbye to this one - it has needed frequent maintenance (9+ visits in 9yrs) with several replacements and several moving back in position after it wandered off. It is a very high muggle area, so I'll release the location for someone else to try if they like.
After 9yrs & 5mths, 119 Finds, 11DNFs & 2 Favourite points - farewell.
Thanks to all those who've taken the time to visit.

Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle multi - there is only one cache but you need to answer some questions to find the final co-ordinates. Explore the new Piccabeen Green area near the Palmwoods memorial hall and you will find the memorial clock.


This clock is a citizens' memorial to the memory of the Hon. Sir Francis Nicklin who was a former premier of Queensland. He was a soldier, farmer and politician, and a distinguished citizen of Palmwoods.

Go to this prominent memorial in Palmwoods at the listed coordinates and find out the following:

A = Number of years between when Sir Francis Nicklin died and when this memorial was erected
B = Year Sir Francis Nicklin entered parliament: 193_
C = Number of years that Sir Francis Nicklin was premier for minus 7
D = Year Sir Francis Nicklin became premier: 19_7
E = B + D
F = B × C

The cache can be found at: S 26 CA.BBA E 152 DE.CFD

Just a short walk from the clock once you have the new coordinates and you will be at the final cache location. Remember it is a nano and you'll have to make a stretch for it. It might also help you to know that it's magnetic. BYO pen/pencil, no room for swaps. This is a bustling street with lots of traffic and the cache location is out in the open, so be stealthy to prevent exposure to muggles.

Congratulations to Konie for FTF!
