Geocache Description:


A picture riddle for Canberran's or those who know Canberra well

In this short series of caches where I will show you a picture of art, other objects, or a building and you have to find it (within central Canberra given the 3.2km rule). Still a big area to cover so a puzzle might be easy for someone who knows the spot but hard for others. But one day you will come past it (during your favourite pastime or otherwise) and recognize the object. The D rating reflects that some won't know the places. So please don't give away to location in your logs. 

The cache is not at the listed coordinates, obviously. 

Your task is straight forward: find the object in the picture below, retrieve the information and project GZ from there. 

At the object you will find a big green info board with 2 year dates. Take the two years as ABCD-EFGH. Use them in the projection formula below: 

Standing at the object (between the two albinos), GZ is (B-A)H meters in the direction of (C+D)H degrees away from you. (for clarity, these are two 2-digit numbers - each letter and each term in brackets represents one digit)
