Geocache Description:


Cache #155

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES BUT IS THE BONUS FOR AN ADVENTURE LAB

Federation Council was formed in 2016 with the merger of Corowa and Urana Shires. The main towns are Corowa, Howlong and Urana. Hopefully you are here to do the Adventure Lab that uses the same the waypoint (it can be accessed here Federation Small Towns Adventure Lab).

Final stop is Rennie which I think is the smallest town on the tour in Federation Shire (43 people in the 2016 census). The post office closed in 1989 and the pub nearby seems to have closed not long after. All that seems to remain is the silos (on the railway line that connects to Victoria and finishes at Oaklands) and the football oval.

This bonus can be done by collecting the clues from the Adventure Lab or the associated multis (the answers are all the same). There were five locations with number answers

Balldale ABCD

Daysdale ABCDEFGH

Lowesdale ABCD

Oaklands ABCDEF

Savernake ABCD

From this you will need to interpret the following code.

S 35 SDLD.BC(DD-OA)SA

E 146 BBSC.LCOBDA

You are looking for a small cache hidden in the typical way. As with all bush caches in Australia beware of snakes in warm weather.

Hope you enjoyed the series.

Good Luck!
