Geocache Description:

At maccamob’s fourth cache, the tragic tale of the Harvey family in the early days of the district can be found. Find the headstone marking the resting place of William, Hannah and their children to learn of the sorrow they must have faced. Do you think there might be an error in the details as they are displayed?

How many of the Harvey children died in infancy? = (A)

How old was William when Sophey died? = (BB)

How old was Hannah when William was born? = (CC)

How many of the Harvey children died in 1863? = (D)

A + BB + 164 = eee

CC + D + 218 = fff

Not a micro cache, perhaps a midi. The cache is a 750ml plastic container with a screw-top lid. Its initial contents took up most of the available space, so don’t bring anything large. The cache is lying in state in a timber mausoleum, with its face uncovered for viewing, not very far from the Harvey family. Its location is given by the coordinates:

S 37 40.eee, E 143 34.fff (or was it S 37 40.fff, E 143 34.eee?)

Oh well, one of them is right. You should be able to work out which is which. Please make sure the cache is not visible before you leave.

Gone but not forgotten.
