| The Harrietville 5 - The Multi Cache
The Harrietville 5 is a series of 5 caches, each of a different type. One Traditional, One Multi Cache, One Unknown, One Letterbox and One Earthcache. The town of Harrietville was chosen as it is one of my favourite little towns and I noticed that it did not have a cache placed in it at the time.
This is the Multi Cache, you need to go to the published co-ordinates, as well as three other nearby waypoints, get the answers to the questions, do some maths, figure out where the cache is, and then go and get it. Simple!
Ok, so at the published co ordinates, S36 53.375 E147 03.875, there is a plaque with a date on it. The date on this plaque is...
2C - J - 19QA
Next, at waypoint 1, S36 53.376 E147 03.884, there is another plaque, with another date on it. The date on this plaque is...
26 - January - 19LB
Next, at waypoint 2, S36 53.399 E147 03.873, there is yet another plaque, with yet another date on it. The date on this plaque is...
K0 - G - NP
Finally, at waypoint 3, S36 53.411 E147 03.875, there is the final plaque, with the final date on it. The date on this plaque is...
Australia Day, 19DM
Now for the the maths bit.
E = J + K
F = L - M
H = N - P
The cache is located at the following co-ordinates....
S36 5A.BCD E147 0E.FGH
I hope you have fun and learned something about this little park. Don't forget that the log book for this cache contains the easterly co-ordinates for the unknown cache of this series! |
