Der Schatz Kobolds Multi-Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
A couple of hours walking around Anstey Hill Recreation Park. Some of the clues are a bit cryptic and make sure you read all of the places through before starting out. The places don't need to be visited in order although some will need to be visited before others. The trick to this cache is that the final coordinates are not for the cache itself. WARNING:No climbing required. Please be careful near the final location.
Notes To get the 'a' to 'h' needed for the final location go the various places. You can choose your route from the map at the primary location as given by the cache coordinates. Please read all the places first as some clues are needed from the information at the primary location as well and some might need to be visited before others.
Place 1 At gate 3 is a wide sign with the words "Anstey Hill Recreation Park". Underneath are some symbols. Count them, to get the value for the digit 'g'.
Place 2 S34 50.jk3 E138 mm.mnp. 'jk' is the 2 digit number that is the distance from the primary location to where a 'backwards bus' would be charging. 'm' is a digit, choose a suitable one .'np' is an old record speed. At this place is a structure with some complete man-made openings in it.(As opposed to broken ones) Remember this number as 'q'.
Place 3 S34 50.0r6 E138 mm.30r. 'r' is the distance from the primary location to the place named after something else Kobolds like to find, although not where it is likely to be found. At place 3 is a container which is 'f' metres long. (Round up to nearest meter)
Place 4 S34 50.stu E138 mq.rvw. 'vw' is a 2 digit number when you add the distances from the primary location to Adelaide and to Outer Harbour. To get 'stu' you will need to find the distance along "Torture Hill Track" to "Newmans track" and then subtract 110. Once you get to place 4 is a manmade object, count the number of bolts on the access plate. From this number subtract 'q' to get the 2 digit number 'bc'.
Place 5 At the top of Torture Hill Track is a sign which says in part "to Newman's Track 300m". Count the number of visible washers on the back of the sign. Add one. This gives 'a'.
Place 6 While on your way to gate 3 , check out what is usually gate 4 for the same sort of symbols. 'x' is the number of symbols without lines through them. Hint: There's a big round thing nearby if gate 4 gets a new number.
To get the digit 'd' remember a wall with some rusty metal poles sticking up above it? 'd' is the number of poles plus 'x'.
To get the digit 'h' find the number of places at the lookout (primary location) that are due east on the distance chart..
Kobolds Home The final location will be at S34 49.abc; E138 dd.fgh. Now that you have the final location it's time to visit the Kobolds! Their treasure can be found near the object in the uploaded photo in the cliff. It's in a black 1/2 litre container.
You don't need to climb over any fences to get it. Check the nearby sign for a clue.
