The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to find the cache. 


S 034° AB.CDE', E 150° 4F.GHI

Before European settlement in the Illawarra, the region was home to the local Aboriginal people. The name Wollongong originated from the Aboriginal word woolyungah meaning five islands. Archaeological evidence indicates that Aboriginals have lived here for at least B0,000 years. Wodi Wodi is the tribe name of the Aboriginal people of the Illawarra. The language group is the Dharawal. Dr Charles Throsby first established a settlement here in 18AH, bringing down his cattle from the Southern Highlands to a lagoon of fresh water located near South Beach. The earliest reference to Wollongong was in 1ID6, in a report written by John Oxley, about the local cedar industry. The area's first school was established in 1E3F, and just one year later the Surveyor-General arrived from Sydney to lay out the township of Wollongong on property owned by Charles Throsby-Smith. Our local steel industry commenced in 19CG with Charles Hoskins entering into an agreement with the state government to build a steelworks at Port Kembla, thereby commencing a long history of steel production that still continues to this day.
