Geocache Description:


Five Dock Bay

Five Dock Bay is so-named because the point of its eastern head at the Parramatta River has five sandstone outcrops that resemble five small boat docks. The name was then used to name Five Dock Farm, a 1,500 acre grant of land by Governor King to Surgeon John Harris in 1806. Five Dock farm spread over the site of the present-day suburbs of Abbotsford, Drummoyne, Chiswick & Five Dock. 

   Today, it presents as a peaceful backwater and home to many small boats. Along the shoreline is a number of parks, joined by a lovely paved walk and interspersed with park benches and picnic tables. This is a favourite recreation area for the locals as well as many boaties from further afar.

Maths Time:

At the WP1 you will see three letters, followed by five numbers, for a total of eight characters in total. [Edit: originally, I incorrectly said 'six' and 'nine' here]
In order, convert all letters to numbers according to their position in the alphabet. Then assign each a letter 

according to the below:
A = first letter (converted to number)
B = second letter (converted to number)
C = third letter (converted to number)
D = first number
E = second number
F = third number
G = fourth number
H = fifth number

Use the above information to calculate the coordinates of the GZ according to the following:

S 33° 5(B-H).F(D-G)(ExG) E 151° 08.(C-G)D(F-A)

Depending on the time of day, especially weekends, there can be a high muggle population, so some stealth is required.

The small cache contains a small reward for the lucky FTF.
