Geocache Description:

A short multi located in the village that was known by the same name as this cache


A quick trip around "Sunpatch", Enjoy the trip.

Find the plaque that pays respect to the pioneer families of the Tomaga River district. Some of which obviously paid quite dearly to help set up this area which we now all enjoy. You will need this to find the next waypoint. Using the ages and dates of death you will be able to locate the next waypoint.

Waypoint 1 can be found at:

S 35 XX.YZ9

E 150 AA.B0C

xx = Age of John Phillip Jennings + Age of the younger Robert Jennings.

Y = William Stove's age in months.

Z = The youngest person to die in days

AA = The day or the month that the Barling twins died

B = The month Robert Jennings Jr died.

C = Add the numbers of the year of death of Amelia Jeanette Jennings died to get 1 digit. EG: 1975 = 1+9+7+5 = 22 = 2+2 = 4.

At waypoint 2 you will find another plaque

To find the cache work out the following:

S 35 DD.EFG

E 150 HH.JJJ

DD = The day this site was officially opened squared.

E = Number of letters in the Shire Engineer Planners surname.

F = Number of letters in Shire Clerks surname

G = Number of letters in Shire Presidents surname x 2

HH = The Month this site was opened became infamous in 2001, what day did this tragedy occur in 2001?

JJJ = The year this site was opened - 1724.

Once you have all of this you can proceed to GZ. If you enjoy fishing why not wet a line?

FTF honours go to The Mountain Goat
