Geocache Description:


Acknowledgement of Country: I would like to pay my respects to the First People: the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways of Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri Country. I would like to acknowledge that this geocache has been placed on what always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

This cache is not at the published coordinates however it may be a good underground garage to park the car whilst doing the adventure lab (AL) component of this cache in Manuka.

To find the coordinates for GZ, you will need to complete the AL 'An Alex Trebek Tribute' available on the 'Adventure Lab' smartphone app. The link to the AL is: https://adventurelab.page.link/Aemg. The AL icon is located in Manuka. 

The AL pays homage to the quiz show Jeopardy! Click 'answer' at each lab to see a clue phrased as an answer. The codeword needs to be phrased as a question in the format: What is ______? Include the question mark. Fill in the blank based on the clue and what's at the location.

Each journal entry from each lab cache will provide the numbers required to substitute letters A to E. Once the full AL is completed, GZ is located at: 

S35 (C)(A+D).(B-C-E)(D)(E)

E149 (C-E)(A+C).(B)(B+D)(A)

Checksums: S = 24, E = 38

The cache is then a short drive or moderate walk away from Manuka. Please use stealth when driving to and/or approaching GZ and be careful of poisonous mushrooms. BYOP, no room for swaps in this container!

I hope you enjoy the AL and bonus cache! Rest in peace the late, great Alex Trebek. 

***FTF honours goes to Tankengine and dty73***
