A Walk Back In Time Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been no cache to find or log to sign 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 near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Welcome to a very overlooked piece of Tasmanian History.

This trip back in time takes you part of the way around the Shag Bay Heritage Trail. The walk features outstanding views, Aboriginal heritage sites and a unique dry eucalypt forest community. Along the track are opportunities to visit relics of Aboriginal culture including rock shelters, extensive
middens and a stone tool quary. Interpretation panels provide insight into aspects of Aboriginal habitation of the area. Please be conscious that this is a Significant Site for the Aboriginal community, tread carefully, practice CITO and enjoy the views while soaking up the ambience.

Now, take ABC, subtract it from DEF and add J. This gives up KLM
Subtract 884 from GHIJ and call this NOP

The final co-ords would then be:
