tiddalik: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Come view the Big Mothers, a land where everything mechanical has been fed a dose of steroids, along the way you find several photo opportunities so bring your camera.

Take a drive through this red lanscape to arrive at the posted coordinates. Your next waypoint coordinates are derived from Iron Ore and Copper.

A = Marks the shipment milestone of Iron Ore minus the million bit.
B = Number of times Peter is mentioned.
C = How many tonns was the Mystery?
D = The year Sir James Balderstone visited Port Hedland.
E = Plaque was unveiled on this day.
F = The number of times Hedland appears in Brass.
G = Number of minerals exported from Port Hedland.
H = Is a calculation yet to be done. See below.

Now for the math...
C+E+F+G-B = H.
A divided BG = JJ. D divided E,+A+JJ+B+C = KKK.
H-E+C-B = LL. HxG+KKK+C+B-G = MMM.
With this we can say your next waypoint is
S 20 JJ.KKK, E 118 LL.MMM.

Travel to the posted coordinates you will find the required information for your final waypoint.

Add together the following locations. Redmont track centre, Yandi spur, Newman and the amount of loco’s in the fleet. Now subtract the amount of passing sidings. This will give you ~ NNN.
PP ~ is the first two numbers of the gross weight of a train.
Head to S20 18.NNN, E 118 PP.073.

Once you have found the cache, return to this location at a later date for a spectacular sight. More information supplied in the cache.
