Geocache Description:

This Cache is located at the Bathurst Toposcope

You will need to answer a few questions to get the final


The Location is home to the Bathurst Toposcope

From here you can see where the 1820 settler families settled, Distance, Location, Leader, Country and ship are all part of the information provided here.


Unfortunately the original beautiful gunmetal bronze plaques were removed as some of them were stolen in 2003 to be melted down for scraps.

Fortunately approximately 40 of the 60 plaques were saved by the Lower Albany Historical Society in an effort to salvage the history of the site.

The plaques were replaced with cheap fiberglass replicas in order to keep some sort of resemblance to the original site.


Once at the location you will need to answer a few short questions one the Toposcope and the soundings to get the final location.



ABCD - What year was the Toposcope Erected?

E - What date is settlers day in September?

F - At the Trig Beacon nearby what is the number on the concrete?


Final:

S 33 29 [B-2][C+1][E+F+A]

E0 26 50 [C][A][D]
