This cache is letterbox cache - it contains a stamp.  Please do not remove the stamp from the cache

At the posted coordinates, you will be outside the Sorell Council.  Here you will find a Plough with a plaque.  From the plaque you will be able to determine the final coordinates.  It is a fair way away - so a car will be needed.

What year was the plough constructed = ABCD   

What is the year at the bottom of the plaque = EFGH   

 

The final coordinates are (A + E) C (G / 2) D . 452 metres away at a bearing of H (G - 5).44 degrees

(The decimal portions have been given for accuracy)
