Geocache Description:

This was to be a short easy walk through a small park that commemorates the work of a Denis Morrissey. However due to cache density issues it has evolved into something very different!!!

D. R. J. Morrissey was the long-serving Town Clerk for the City of Campbelltown. Until his retirement he lived at the property next door to the newly rejuvenated area at the given coordinates.
As well as being a very active member of the local community (that kept him away from his bed a lot,) he was also unfortunate enough to be woken regularly at all hours of the night by the telephone. On the other end were distraught people who needed help in some kind of an emergency. They were trying to contact Dr. J. Morrissey!!

Now on with the cache:

At the listed coordinates you need to gather some data.

The number of timber planks on the bridge = AB
The number of rubbish bins in the area = C
The number of leaves cut into the metal = DE

GZ is at S34 5A.(A+C)EA E138 4(B-A).B(AxD)(B-D)
This location can be approached from many tracks that Denis probably frequented as a member of the local SES, but my favorite is via the mayors nature trail. This at least will point you in the right direction.

There is a convenient parking location to access the cache from at S34 5C.(A+B)86 E138 4(B-A).(E+A)D9

The peculiar 'geomath' used for the above coordinates is:
Operations within brackets should be performed to achieve a single digit number.
Between brackets there is no operations.

Take your time, enjoy the parks.
From GZ a short walk (20m) will yield some spectacular sights.
Take plenty of drinking water especially in warmer weather.
Cache is an ammo box with logbook, pencils & lots of goodies.
