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 for this object is low as I believe there is a lot of information in the picture to determine the spot, but then again some might find it harder. In any case, please don't give away to location in your logs. 

The cache is not at the listed coordinates, obviously. 

I don't recomend to do this cache at night, please come during the day. 

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

At the object you should stand at the north side to read the required information and for your projection. You will see an iron strip with a lot of roman numbers. From left to right let them be  ABCDEFGHIJKLM. Use them in the projection formula below: 

Standing at the north side of the object, GZ is CB meters in the direction of EEK degrees away from you. (for clarity, these are a 2-digit and a 3-digit number - each letter represents one digit) 

Do NOT approach GZ from the street side. Approach from the garden side.
