Geocache Description:

The beautiful Queen's Park and Botanical Gardens of Toowoomba makes for a nice and casual inner city stroll.

This cache is a small pvc tube including small trade items of a miscellaneous nature. Small Travel Bugs welcome.
A log book is provided so please log your visits.
In order to locate this cache you will need to correctly answer the following clues for the final co-ordinates.

Clue U. At the entrance to the park from your parking spot at co-ordinates S27 33.515 E151 57.736 a sign refers to council by-laws. What chapter does it mention?

Clue V. Proceed to co-ordinates S27 33.474 E151 57.761 and you will notice a somewhat secure area. How many keyed locks are found here?

Clue W. Continue along the path to S27 33.436 E151 57.816 and answer the following. How many hand painted glass cannons can be found in this area?

Clue X. Head toward co-ordinates S27 33.576 E151 57.793 and "YOU ARE HERE" will help you answer this. Multiply the lengths of the two parallel sides of the diagram and what is the middle digit of the answer?

Clue Y. Walk along the "Avenue of Trees" to co-ordinates S27 33.716 E151 57.766. Might be a nice place for a quick breather! So take a seat so that you are facing North-East. In the immediate area you will find an 11 letter word containing multiple pairs of vowels. How many pairs of vowels are in this word?

Clue Z. Phewww, well we did mention it was a casual stroll but nothing about easy clues. LOL! Walk to co-ordinates S27 33.671 E151 57.516 and while standing on this arched structure how many circles are there along its sides?

OK now you can add your answers to the code below to realise the whereabouts of this cache and to save a little bit of time we've given you the obvious parts of the co-ordinates.

A=The last digit of this number of clue U.
B=V-1
C=W+5
D=Middle digit of answer in clue X.
E=Y
F=Z divided by 3

S27 33.(C)(D)(E)
E151 57.(A)(B)(F)
Hmmmmm? Watch out for muggles!

Enjoy the rest of your day courtesy of the Geographobiacs.
