Geocache Description:

Is this the most unvisited monument/plaque in the city? In honour of a Green Gecko cache that used to be near here, and my original tribute that was short-lived.


Positioned to bring you to this strangely placed plaque. Take the exit here - it is still extremely busy at times (like the highway itself) but there is a nice wide strip to safely pull up on, or park around the corner where it's safer.

There was a cache here when I started geocaching and it brought me to see this plaque. I never knew this was here, and for a long time - I still do - I would describe that cache, this plaque, as one of the amazing, quirky, places geocaching can take you, one of the things near my home that I never knew. That cache was muggled out too many times and got archived. There needs to be one here. There is now - or at least it's nearby.

You need to read the plaque, and then go to
S27 AB.CDE E153 VW.XYZ

Where
A=The number of large rocks this monument is made of
B=The number of times the letter 'B' is contained in the very top two heading lines of the main plaque

D=The number of kilometres (to the nearest hundred) that the original Bruce highway was in length
E=Add together the two digits of the date (in December) that the highway was named


V=The number of wooden poles holding the main plaque up
W=The number of times a platypus is depicted on the main plaque
X=The last digit of the year this monument was opened
Y=Calculate the distance that the Bruce Highway has changed between the two dates on the plaque, and add the digits in that answer together
Z=The plaque commemorates the Z0th anniversary of the opening
