Geocache Description:

This is the fifth cache of a series that will take you down along a variety of Roads, Lanes, Streets, Highways, Avenues, Boulevards & Thoroughfares. These roads may be of interest for one of many reasons but the only way to find out the reason for this one is to get out and take a gander.

To begin, take a drive to the listed co-ordinates. You should be at a T-Junction on a major road. The boulevard for this cache is the road that branches off the major road towards the east. We travel this road regularly and every time we pass, I can't help but note the oddity that this cache is based on.

You will need to travel along this road from the starting co-ordinates until you reach S37 50.469 E145 26.350. Whilst travelling you will notice something leading off to one side. The thing you are looking for is something that is associated with Christmas (or if you are a James Blunt fan, there is a song that is popular at the time of placing this cache of the same name also). Now if there was just one of these, there would be nothing extraordinary about this at all. Two is not as common but can still be seen. The oddity is the number of them.

A = The number of them that you would normally expect to see at Christmas (or on the song)
B = The number that you can see along here
C = The difference between the two

Now insert those values into the following co-ordinates to obtain the cache location

S37 48.(A+B)(A+A)(C+C)
E145 27.(B)(A+A)(C+C)

The cache is a 2 litre container which is hidden in a small park not too far away.
