Geocache Description:


**CACHE CONTAINER IS A MAGNETIC NANO**
I am hoping to return this hide to a regular size if/when they stop changing the area around GZ... thanks for your patience


A multi to encourage cachers to stop and have a look at some of the beautiful spots in Australia's first major inland city. You will need to gather information at the posted coordinates and then take a short drive or walk to GZ.

At the posted coordinates you will find yourself in front of one Goulburn's old buildings. Parking may be harder at peak times but it is well worth the stop. Lots of shops, beaut cafes, old buildings and parks and gardens. Park at the nearby Belmore Park to take a break and use the facilities, then wander up here to start this cache - you will have GZ worked out and the cache in hand in no time.

To calculate gz you will need to gather some information.

ABCD = The year the McDermott Centre was open: 1887 to ABCD

WXYZ= The year the plaque commemorating 100 years of government in Goulburn was unveiled
[this plaque has been removed for now, so please use the date 1959 for WXYZ]

S34 45.(C-X) Y (A+D)

E149 42.(Z-Y) (B-Y+A) (A+W)

Check Sum:     S = 22    E = 31

You could jump in your car to drive to the cache or enjoy the walk and check out the town.

NOTE: October 2022 - the final gz has had to be moved again - same clues but different caclulation and hide. The container is no longer a regular - looking for something much smaller now but I did not want to change the cache listing
