The University of New South Wales is constantly improving security both on and around campus for its students, staff and visitors. One of its many security initiatives is the UNSW Shuttle Bus. This free service operates weekdays from 7:30 am to 10:15 pm during university sessions. The shuttle route covers key locations within Kensington Campus, Randwick Campus and The School of Art & Design in Paddington. In addition, it can provide service to major commuting points between the campuses such as the Randwick shopping centre, the National Institute of Dramatic Arts and the Prince of Wales Hospital.
Getting to GZ
To find the coordinates to GZ, you must first find the UNSW Shuttle Bus. NOTE: The cache is not on the shuttle. You do not need to get on the shuttle to find the clues or the cache, but hitching a ride could save you needing to make your own way to GZ. (If you ask really nicely, the driver might even drop you right at GZ.)
While the posted coordinates (the Campus Security Office) is on the route, it is not one of the shuttle stops. The main stops (where the bus will wait for passengers) are listed in the UNSW Shuttle Bus Timetable.
Or if you'd rather track down the shuttle than wait for it, the university has provided a live update of the bus's location on the SafeZone mobile app. (Note: You need to register with SafeZone to access the bus location.)

When you have found the shuttle bus, collect the following:
To the left of the driver's door,
- the first digit on the bottom line is A.
On the passenger door glass pane,
- the number of letters in the first word is B.
To the right of the passenger door,
- the step when the door can be opened is C.
On the back of the vehicle,
- number of letters in the first word written in red is D.
Coordinates for GZ is S 33° 54.4AB, E 151° 14.3CD
The cache is less than 2 km from listed coordinates. Log only so please bring your own pencil.
This cache has been assigned a difficulty of 3 partly due to how quickly you need to work to acquire the clues. The shuttle does not wait long at most of the stops and not at all at some stops if there is no passenger. So part of the challenge is to find a 'long' stop.
