About SideTracked Caches
This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath taking view. It's a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too. More Information can be found on the SideTracked Series website at www.sidetrackedseries.info https://www.sidetrackedseries.info

  

 

 

There is a hard to find plaque at the Concorse showing that the International Airport station opened on 21 May 2000 when the Airport Link opened from Central to Wolli Creek. Like other stations on the line, International Airport was built and is operated by the Airport Link Company as part of a public–private partnership.

 

At the Concorse gather the following details.

A = the number of escalators going to and from the Airport.

B = The rows of circular ceiling lights.

C = The total number of Enter and Exit gates.

D = The number of letters in the name of Platform 2.

E = The number of visible Ticket Vending machines.

F = The number of letters in the name of Platform 1.

From the information you gather at the Concorse, complete the following calculation to find the cache

GZ = South 33 D (B+2).(C-2)(D-F)(A-E) East 151 (E-A)(C+D-F).C(F-B)(D+E)
Check Sums, South = 23 and East = 32

"This geocache was part of GC Project: It's Raining Caches 2025.


The project's aim was to create a rain of new geocaches to fall from the sky across the state of NSW at 9am on 19th January 2025 - 1 week before Sydney Geoquest, the first Block Party in the Southern Hemisphere.


Many legendary hiders came together to generously contribute their finest geocaches to build excitement and connection amongst the community and for all finders to enjoy years after the event.

This geocache helped make it rain."
