Geocache Description:


Four Weddings and a Funeral

Following on from a couple of my ‘history themed’ caches is this little puzzle cache. It’s based on churches and a cemetery. The churches and cemetery are all within the Brisbane area. The questions are not religious based nor are they meant to promote any denomination. However, if you are uncomfortable with this style of cache then this one is not for you.

The cache is not at the above listed cords. However, it is in Brisbane.

The number within the (_) represents a single letter ie (25) is a single letter. Once you have filled in the ‘blanks’, decipher the ‘code’ below.
