Geocache Description:


An unusual structure that has travelled far.  Why tell you about it here when you can read about it at the posted coordinates?

To find the cache located a short bike ride away, you will have to read the story,  perform some measurements then do some basic calculations.

  • To the nearest 10cm, what is the diameter of the 1 ton wheels?  (Choose from  57,67,77,87,97,107,127,137,147cm).  This is A.
  • It takes a bit over 6 complete laps of the wheels to crush the olives to make the perfect cold crushed virgin oil.  How many times does one of the 1 ton wheels rotate?   This is B. 
  • 18CD was a big year for this structure.  This is C and D.
  • Mayor of Burnside officially opened in 19EF.  This is E and F.
