Welcome to the 33rd cache in a series of simple (or not so simple in this case) hides in the parks and reserves of Ambarvale, Glen Alpine and surrounds, and where possible, give a brief description of why the park has this name, This is the first Multi of the series.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
But you will need to view the information board at this location to gain the information to resolve the final coordinates.
William Eggleton was sent to Australia on the first fleet. To cut a very long story short, at one point, he was granted a tract of land here. It was with this land, and over time many others, he sold off to others as he tried to make a living. Thie board at this location describes his history here, which seems amazing as it seems to predate to community as it stands now!
You will need to obtain the following information from the board.
- The Barque named the Alexander was how many tons. This number = A
- What is the AO Map No. . This number = B
- The number of years William Eggleton was sentenced to transportation. This number = C
- Number of acres William Eggleton was granted here. This number = D
- Y = (A x 2) - (C x 2)
- Z = (B x 3) - (D + 21)
Final Coordinates are:
S34 04. (Y) Three digits , check sum 19
E150 47. (Z) Three digits, check sum 18
The GZ is within working distance.
