Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE.

 

Selamat siang is a greeting in Indonesian meaning “good day.”

 

One of the reasons that we enjoy geocaching is that we can learn about something in only a page description, as opposed to reading a book on that topic. Here is a brief outline of one of our neighbouring countries.

 

Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania, between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It consists of more than seventeen thousand islands. Indonesia is the world's largest island country and the 14th-largest country by land area. With over 267 million people, it is the world's 4th-most-populous country.

The country's official language is Indonesian.

Australia's total two-way goods and services trade with Indonesia was worth $17.7 billion in 2019, making Indonesia our 13th largest trade partner.

 

The Puzzle:

First, a word-search. Once completed, take note of the string of about 130 characters that are leftover. Replace any X’s with spaces and you will have the coordinates for the cache.

Tuah!
