Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates but this location is another good example of a ghost sign. The advertisement here is from the 1950s.

Other ghost signs feature around Hobart, and other parts of Tasmania. Some are quite prominent (e.g. J C Pratt in Davey Street) but others are almost hidden away. Feel free to share any others you know about in the gallery.  

You need to successfully complete the Adventure Lab "Ghost Signs of Hobart" to solve the final coordinates for this cache.

Use the camera function on your smart phone to scan the QR code and start your adventure.

Use the 5 codewords of the AL in order to make a sentence for the checker. No gaps, but punctuation and case sensitive (as given in the AL).

 

NOTE:  If you use a piece of fruit as your device, the default apostrophe is ‘, but the checker needs ', which you can get by holding down the apostrophe ‘key’ and selecting the right-most option (thanks to RebornCyclist for that).
