Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a series of caches that get you to visit and see the community artwork that has been applied to some roadside network infrastructure cabinets.

Note that no physical caches are placed on or near the cabinets - you only need to look at them to gather the information you need.

Layout of the multi-cache

Like other multi-caches in this series the virtual waypoints are the locations of communication cabinets with community artwork on them. The final cache is in the viciinity of them and not very well "connected" to the waypoints.

The virtual way points

The waypoints can be visited in any order but the listed order is recommended. Technically WP1 is outside Woodridge and in neighbouring Newlands by about 150m. However, at least the cache is in Woodridge which almost wasn't the case when location scouting.

Note that the published coords are at WP3 instead of the usual WP1. This is so that the published coords are in Woodridge.

WP1 WP1 A Number of letters in artist's first name.
B Sum of all digits in the year.

 

WP2 WP2 D On the right cabinet side is a turbo-prop plane. How many blades on each propeller?
E On the left cabinet side is a classic plane. What is the second digit in the large number on its side?

 

WP3 WP3 C Number of red leaves on the dog's head.
F Last letter in the cabinet's reference code (JV ??) A=1, etc.

The checksum for A+B+C+D+E+F=33

The final location

S41 12.ABC E174 49.DEF
