Acknowledgement of Country: I would like to pay my respects to the First People: the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways of Ngunnawal Country. I would like to acknowledge that this geocache has been placed on what always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
Another fun puzzle cache that can be completed quickly and can be easily found at the end. Like all puzzle caches, this cache is not at the posted coordinates.
To find the final coordinates for this cache, you will need to complete the crossword attached in the picture gallery. We recommend printing it out by clicking into the Image Gallery, clicking on the crossword and pressing the print button. Most require mathematical expressions, with some questions involving simple research. Once you have inserted all the numbers, you can solve the coordinates. Each square in the crossword has a grid reference with the eastings as capital letters and the northings being lower case letters. For example, the very first square in the top left corner would be Aa. Using these grid references, solve the following to find the coordinates.
U = Ba + Me - Cg - Fh
V = Ek + Nc - Ie + Kh
W = Ha - Ce + Kj + Ma
X = Ch - Aj + Lc - Gf
Y = Be + Ei + Dk - Fc
Z = Jc - Gb - Fd + Mg
The cache is at:
South 35 12.UVW
East 149 12.XYZ
The puzzle and cache was created by Dad while I was away at camp so I hope you like it. Once you find the location, you will be able to figure out places to park - you can park at the nearby building if you like. The cache is near an old road that cannot be driven on anymore, so you can also park on the end of that. You cannot park on the highway. Once at GZ, the cache should be an easy find. The cache is a small Swiss container with a logbook and pencil - feel free to drop toys and swaps in there when you get there. Hopefully you will enjoy this spot in the bush.
