Geocache Description:


This is a field puzzle

Just like Hollywood’s Walk of Fame with its Stars’ stars, George Street now has its own ‘Walk of Fame’ with depictions of famous and well known Georges residing in each carpark space.

Between Cuba Street and Main Street local artist Colin Hoare has hand painted 40 portraits of Georges such as Georgia Brown, George Orwell, George Washington, and even George Jetson and George of the Jungle.

Your task is to find the carpark space number that coincides with the following Georges to work out where the Final geocache is located. Which is at S 40° AB.CDE E 175° VW.XYZ where...
A. George Benson
B. George Harrison
C. George Nepia
D. George McConachy
E. George Burns
V. George Forman
W. George Segal
X. Georgina Beyer
Y. Georgia May Jagger
Z. Prince George

 

The Final is not really within walking distance, although it is flat (as a plain... in Spain)

 

“I will relax & have fun in George Street.”
