Geocache Description:

In 2003, while conducting a field survey for the rezoning of Googong, a mound of stone was noted by surveyors. It was later discovered that the mound was in the exact same location as a cottage which was marked in an 1866 map of the Portion plan of the area. In 2012, the salvage excavation revealed a double sided fireplace in the centre of the remains of a slab hut dwelling.

The cottage belonged to Patrick Connolly. At the posted location is an information board with some details of his life.

Answer the following questions from the board to calculate the final location of this cache.

1. Patrick was born in 179A

2. Number of children = B

3. Immigrated to Australia in 184C

4. Acquired land here in 18D2.

5. Patrick died in 187F

Final cache location is:

S 35° 25.CA(2 x F) E 149° 13.BDF
