Zytheran: Hmmm, didn't predict cachers would cause troubles to the structure. I'll take this offline now. (Don't make walls like they used to.)

Geocache Description:

A small area of Adelaide Botanic gardens has an interesting history. The building at the start isn't always labelled on the maps but when it is, it's the "Dead House".
Cache can only be accessed between about 8am and 1/2 hour before sunset, lest the zombies eat your brains.

The old Adelaide Lunatic Asylum used to be located about 100m to the south of the initial coordinates , on the slight rise that can still be seen today. The building at the start location was built in 1882 and was the 'new' morgue, the original was to the south east near the old long building near the wine centre. These days the morgue is used as a gardeners shed and the Lunatic Asylum has been moved to the northwest corner of North Tce.and King William St.
From the morgue, head southish along the path to the top of slight rise where the Asylum used to be and find a plaque.
The final cache location can be found at S34 55.abc E138 36.def
It is a small thin grey container.
'abc' can be found by subtracting 1702 from the year the Asylum first opened here.
'def' can be found by subtracting 1203 from the year the morgue plaque was placed.
