Geocache Description:


These co-ordinates will bring you to a prominent feature in this City’s central park - the Rosalind Park Poppet Head tower.

Directly beneath the tower is a plaque with the title "Bendigo Heritage Mosaic" followed by 19 lines of text which will enable you to calculate the final coordinates of the cache.

Cache Co-Ordinates:

S36 48.ABC    E144 18.DEF

Where:

A = The number next to "Geological map of the local goldfields" (which the mosaic sections depict)
B = The number next to "Various forms in which gold is found" plus 4
C = The number next to "Part of the Garden Gully line of reef"
D = The number next to "The saddle reef formation in this area" minus 2
E = The number value of the first letter of the mosaic designer's surname (second line of the text)
F = The number next to "The layout of the Ironbark mine" minus 3

Checksum for ABCDEF = 21

The object you seek is a 2L screw top container holding the usual log book, pen and some trinkets suitable for exchanging, should you so desire.
