Geocache Description:


The story is fiction, but the scenario is not!


It was a dark and stormy night in 1979, a light plane was approaching Adelaide Airport after a flight to the Riverland and suffered engine trouble.


For safety reasons it was decided to drop some of the hand luggage before attempting a landing in the foul conditions.


The airline being the efficient people they were recovered all of the luggage except for one small case containing property belonging to Bob.


That remains your prize!


The only clue I can give is that the aircraft was travelling at 200 kmh, at an altitude of 1500m.


Course was 229.5 degrees true at the given location.


Assume a downward acceleration of gravity of 9.8 m/s2.


Due to some freak of nature wind resistance did not affect the trajectory, nor did variation in ground height.


Plenty of places to park but make sure you will not get a parking fine, complete with photograph in the mail.
