Geocache Description:

A multi cache requiring standard equipment, and a road map and a knowledge of Australian Literature.

This cache will require stealth as the first four stages are placed in high visibility areas. The entire cache will map out a triangle and cover about 12km.

 

WP1 takes you to a place bearing a name that is one half of the name of a famous Australian writer.

WP2 is located at: S42 53.226 E147 19.932. This takes you to a place bearing a name that is one half of another Australian writer.

From here the cache has been reworked (09-01-2021)

Near WP1 you will see a monument to Australian sons and daughters. Add the higher date to this coord: S42 51.226 for WP3

 

Near WP2 (at the entrance to the square) you will find a plaque. The coordinates for WP3 are at E147 ab.cdd where:

ab = Add the last digit of each year together.

c   = How many logos are on the plaque?

dd = The number of letters in the first line (title) x3.

 

At WP3 look for the red and black sign to calculate WP4 (GZ). The degrees and minutes stay the same, just calculate the decimal minutes.

S. Number of hectares -24

E. Total of the digits of both phone numbers x8

 

Happy hunting!
