Writers and Readers Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

A cache about books. Love reading? you will love this cache

Writers and Readers
Take a little drive around this pleasant suburb and you may be struck with the common theme of street names.
Starting with Paterson Drive: Banjo Paterson (visit link)
Ronan's Retreat: Tom Ronan (visit link)
Henry Lawson Drive: Henry Lawson (visit link)
May Gibbs Cres: May Gibbs (visit link)
Among many others...
The starting coordinates will take you to a street named after an Australian female author: Thea GHIJKL
The following coordinates will take you to a street named after the writer who recorded the only first hand account and analysis of the events of the Eureka Stokade: Raffaello MNOPQRS
S38 02.946
E145 14.782
These two streets will guide you to the final cache position
S3A BC.DEF
E1TU VW.XYZ
To determine the final cache coordinates use a common caching tool to solve the code [numbers for letters eg A=1, B=2, etc] Thank you to Miss Natty (10 years old) for working out the maths.
A = (G + 8) - 1
B = ((H - 1) ÷ 2) – 9
C = (I – 20) + 2
D= J - 3
E = K x 2 - 1
F = (L – 1) ÷ 3
T= M + 1
U = N X 5
V = O - 17
W = P X 2
X = (Q – 1) ÷ 2
Y = (R ÷ 2) - 2
Z = (S + 1) ÷ 5

The theme of this cache is clearly books - you can swap books, add book marks, anything book related.
Initial contents include: Bookmarks, notebook, gel pens, 3 books and the Unite for Diabetes travel bug.

There is also a first to find trophy.

In your log entry you may like to include the last book you read, or the best book you have read or your favourite author, or if you like, a book review.

I have added some waypoints, please use the well worn paths to get to the cache, there should be no reason to have to get wet feet when it rains either :)
