This is the bit you need...
Dwarftown Gazette 4 July 2003
For a number of years there have been whisperings amongst the dwarfs that one of
their ancestors had been charged, convicted and transported to a prison colony.
With the increased interest in the story of Snow White and the part the dwarfs
paid in keeping her safe from the wicked Queen, some of the younger dwarfs have
been researching the events.
Needless to say, the older dwarfs were reluctant to say too much, however from
reading archived documents, along with what they had been told by the older
dwarfs they have been able to piece together the history.
When Snow White
bit into the apple and fell into a deep sleep for a year, Sleepy was overcome
with guilt for not realising sooner that she had fallen into the hands of the
wicked queen and left the other dwarfs to search the land to try and find some
way to help her. The queen’s courtiers, on hearing of this, conspired to have
him arrested and imprisoned. He was brought before the Dwarftown assizes on false charges and
sentenced to 7 years transportation.
The records show that on arriving on these shores, because of his mining
experience Sleepy was assigned to a road maintenance gang maintaining a road
built earlier by Mr William Cox and a party of convicts. The road gang was
supervised by Captain John Bull. The
stockade where he slept is now a picnic area and reserve
One of the persistent stories is that Sleepy hid some personal effects and other
objects in an area in which he worked. There is talk that he placed a likeness
of himself with his effects.
Measurements were not very precise in Sleepy’s day; the papers that have
survived show Sleepy hid his effects at E150 (ww.dec),
S33 (ww.dec)
Over the years people have searched for these effects without success, they have
left markings, sometimes on rocks and sometimes on plaques that point to where
they believe the possessions are hidden.
The young dwarves have found an object at S33º 46.066 E150º 38.475 which mentions
Mr. Evans. They believe one of the previous searchers was involved in placing
this marker and arranged the text on the Southern side so the odd page number
used is the whole number of minutes in the longitude of Sleepy’s cache. The day
the text refers to is the LSD of the decimal portion of the longitude, this
digit follows one half its value, and they both follow one equal to the decimal
portion of the distance given in metres.
There is a marking on a large flat rock somewhere near the centre of the
stockade where Sleepy spent his nights. It is disguised as a date put there
by a couple from a mine in a Northern State. The story goes that the female of
the party was named Tania and the month inscribed references a number inscribed
in a plate at S33º 43.460, E150º 29.653. The digit equal to the month and the
one to its right, when added to 1 is equal to the whole number of minutes in the
latitude.
It is said that some people following the same occupation as Mr. George Evans
built a structure near S33º 43.?04, E150º 29.?04, close to the road built by Mr
William Cox. Two of the digits in the location were illegible in the
transcription however some papers were discovered which suggest the missing
digit in the latitude is the equal to the total number of members
mentioned on the object at S33º 46.066 E150º 38.475 and the missing digit in the
longitude is the same as the centre one on the plate mentioned in the previous
paragraph.
If you look W 30º N from this point you can see the result of Sleepy’s
labours. The MSD of the height ASL of this area in yards is the LSD of the
decimal part of the latitude of Sleepy’s cache. One less than this precedes it
and one less again precedes that digit.
Don't forget to look around the area
