Geocache Description:


Crossroads



At the posted coordinates you will find yourself at the Toll Bar Park in Lexton. 

This is a simple 1 stage multi that does require some very simple mathematics to complete.

Lexton was originally an teamsters depot in the 1840s. On the site you will find an display of Drays and an information board about Major Mitchel. 

There is a pretty good playground, picnic shelter with BBQ's and amenities that are usually required when on a road trip. 

To find the GZ you will need to do a little reading at the dray display and on the Major Mitchel sign a few meters away. 

 

THE DRAY DISPLAY:


A = A team of how many clydesdales brought the wagon overland from Maldon?
B = 3 minus the number of days it took to cover the 70km journey?
C = How many letters in the original name of the township of Lexton?


MAJOR MITCHEL BOARD

Find the information related to Toll Bar charges. 

D = How many pennies were charged for an mare and an ass and an mule?
E = How many pennies were charged for 20 head of sheep?
F = How many pennies were charged for 3 head of cattle?
