Bootenal Springs is one of several permanent water holes along the Greenough River. The spring was a water source for Aboriginal inhabitants and white settlers from the 1850s onwards and it is believed a number of violent conflicts took place in the area. There are a number of plaques positioned around the spring describing some of the brutal history.
You will need to visit a plaque at each of the coordinates and use the clue to determine the letter to look up on the code. Then use the following grid to help you crack the code.
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=0
K=1, L=2, M=3, N=4, O=5, P=6, Q=7, R=8, S=9, T=0
U=1, V=2, W=3, X=4, Y=5, Z=6
Once you have the six values you will be able to find the cache.
