Geocache Description:


Chocolate or Coffee??

Both come in shades of  brown, so the colour theme of this geocache is, of course, "brown".
 


 

"Chocolate or Coffee"  is a letterbox hybrid.

The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates, but this is the starting point.
Collect data to find the final location, as you stroll the streets of Kirribilli and Milson's Point where you will discover a wide variety of establishments to cater to all your coffee and chocolate needs.

The geocache consists of a small camouflaged container containing a log book and a stamp. It is located - in chocolate-box surroundings -  at:


S33 50.ABC E151 12.DFG

 

A:
At the Posted Co-ordinates, you will be standing in front of an artisanal chocolatier. A = the number of letters in the first word beneath the Chocolate heading on the panel at the exposed side of the boutique.

B:
Walk along Bligh Street to its junction with Broughton Street and turn right. On the corner, opposite a neat cafe, you will find The Bridge Church. B = the number of rectangular glass panels on the chocolate coloured church door (either of them) beneath the tan brick arch, minus 4.

C:
Continue along Broughton Street and cross at the traffic lights. Go through the Burton St tunnel under the railway and turn right into Alfred Street. Cross over at the pedestrian crossing. Continue along Alfred Street till you come to Lavender Street, where you turn left. You soon arrive at a fine French purveyor of hot chocolate (among other delights). The green electric box just before this carries an identification: One letter and five numbers. C = the first number after the letter.

D:
Retrace your steps back to Alfred Street, and cross over (CAREFULLY – THIS IS A BUSY ROAD) to Bradfield Park. Walk back through the park towards the entrance to Milson's Point train station, and go left through that first tunnel into Ennis Road where you will find more cafes. Cross at the crossing to the far side of Broughton Street. You are now in the Burton Street pedestrian way, with its pavement cafes (and nearby Gelateria). D = the total number of  round concrete bollards/seats in this brightly-coloured area.

G:
With the road on your left, continue along Broughton Street until you come to the junction with Crescent Place. Look across Broughton Street to Milson's Point train station. There is a date above the station entrance. G = the sum of the first and third digits of this date.

F:
Walk on until you come to Willoughby Street. There is a signpost on the far side of Willoughby Street: the street name and underneath that, three green signs. The fourth or bottom sign contains two lines. F = the difference between the number of letters in the two words on the first line.
