Geocache Description:

This is my first multicache, so I've made it fairly simple, I hope. Let me know what you think.

At the listed coordinates you will find 2 concrete tetrahedrons or 'tank traps' that formed part of the Belmont Anti Tank Ditch. On one of these tank traps you will find a plaque that commemorates the determination of Australians in the face of danger to which this region was exposed during the dark days of WWII.

At GZ, looking east towards the beach, there are still Timber Posts or 'Dumble Tank Stops' visible on the northern side of the creek. Although weathered by the elements, they are still a reminder of how close to WWII we really were.

Answer the following questions to solve the coordinates.

A= How many interlocking rows of tank traps were located on the southern bank?

D= The ditch was constructed by army and civilian units in late 19?2 ?

V= Not including the base, how many sides do Each of the tetrahedrons have?
