Geocachers Love... (to hate) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Becca85: Unfortunately I have made the tough decision to let this one go.
Attempting to get the 3 waypoints replaced over the last couple of weeks has proven to be quite the task with everything and anything creating obstacles- wrong container type arriving, snake sightings, rolling my ankle after checking on WP2, a mini bush fire that resulted in a new container being required just 48 hours after I replaced it - with contents that were an effort to collect as anyone who has found this will know.
I'm taking the hint from the universe and retiring this one. Thanks to all who made the effort to find over the years. :)

Geocache Description:


Geocachers Love (to Hate)


As Geocachers we all have our pet hates. This cache (a Puzzle that thinks it's a Multi...) incorporates some of the things that annoy Geocachers...



Armchair Logger: 'Someone who logs a geocache find without having actually visited the geocache'.

>
You can't log this cache from your armchair but you can certainly make yourself comfy while you find the co-ordinates!
Use Google Maps (GoogleEarth will make the job easier but requires a Free download) to obtain the answers to the following questions: (Most you will need to enter Street View)
You could find them in person if you'd prefer except for D.

McLandress Square: S37 02.784 E143 44.211
A = How many arches are there directly under the road facing clock on the Post Office?
B = Which of the following is correct in relation the War Memorial you see? Horse Only=3 / Horse+Soldier=6 / Soldier Only=9

Simson Brothers Monument: S37 02.667 E143 45.049
This lookout commemorates John Donald Simson and Hector Simson, who were the first people to settle in the are now known as Maryborough. Stones from their original homestead are built into the memorial. 
C= How many steps are there leading up to the lookout? If MORE than 10 then C=5. If LESS than 10 then C=7

Railway Station: S37 03.076 E143 44 .536
D= How many flags are flying from the tip of the Station Roof? Double this number = D (This one cannot be done in person as the answer may alter)

Old Flour Mill: S37 03.211 E143 44.434
The Maryborough Flour Mill opened in 1881 and ceased operations as a Flour Mill in 1980.
E= Which of the following can be found in close proximity to the Flour Mill? A Church =1, McDonalds =2, A google car streaker =3 or a Railway Crossing =4

Lake Victoria: S37 02.534 E143 44.650
F= How many islands are there in Lake Victoria?

Complete your Co-Ordinates using the numbers obtained above.
S37 03.ABC E143 45.DEF
*The numbers should all add up to 25*

These Co-Ordinates will take you to find a cache container we all Love to Hate:


A Nano: 'A teeny, tiny little $#%* of a Geocache'.
Within the Nano you will find another set of co-ordinates.
This set of Co-ords will take you to yet another Container/Hide type we all Love to Hate...

A Micro in a Bush: 'An aggravating cache to search for, especially when there is the option for a much bigger cache to have been used'.
The Micro in the bush (don't hate me too much, at least it isn't camouflaged!) will contain the final Co-ords you require to find the Geocache.

Each step is a fairly short offset but you will most likely want to jump back in the car.
There is room to pull off to the side of the road at all locations. GZ will require a very short bush bash.
Cache contains all of the usual stuff. Swaps can be made.

Do you know what else is really, REALLY annoying? When cachers log a Geocache find online but lost/dropped/forgotten their pen and didn't actually sign the log. Or when you are the person that has lost/dropped/forgotten your pen and have to go back for it or improvise. So please...
DO NOT FORGET YOUR PEN!!
