Swan View Station remains standing, but is one of few actual reminders of the forgone era when the line ran from Midland through John Forest National Park to Newcastle, now known as Toodyay. The station is a part of the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail project, running through Greenmount and Swan View and completed in 1996.
Find somewhere nearby to park and the cache can then be completed on foot, with a round-trip of about 1800m.
(V3, 28 May 2014) On the northern end of the larger of the two platform shelters is a plaque. This plaque provides information about the upgrade to Swan View Station, and clues required for the Second Waypoint. The plaque is approximately 14 metres along the platform from the original coordinates indicated for this cache.
The Second Waypoint is located at: S31 A.BCD E116 BC.BEF
A = How many letters from the beginning of the text is the fifth letter 'i'?
B = What number is closest to the first letter of the month?
C = How many words are on the third line?
D = Two lines have the same number of words as their line number. On what number line does this first occur?
E = How many words separate ‘Heritage’ from ‘Swan’ View?
F = How many times is the word ‘the’ used?
When you reach the second location you will find a four-digit number, clearly and obviously displayed, that will substitute for CLUE in the final cache coordinates. The final location is 70m in a straight line from this point.
The final location, if you are using your GPSr, is at:
S 31 E(L-E).(C+L-U)(L-C-E)(U-E+C)
E 116 (U-L-C)(E-C).C(C+U-L)(L-E)
