The Clues
Your primary goal is to locate each of these clues and keep a record of what each "X" should be. You will then use the "X"s to calculate the caches actual co-ordinates, GZ.
To assist you in locating these clues, (Which are scattered all over the Inner Suburbs of Sydney!) I have provided the Location photos of RTA Webcams. Each clue can be found very close to it's corresponding Webcam... i.e. Clue "A" is found at Location "1", Clue "B" at Location "2" and so on.
The Webcams
How you find each Webcam is up to you. You can go in any order you like and apart from recognising the location from your local experience there are at least two other ways to identify them before leaving the comfort of your computer chair :D
Here are some additional hints to locating each clue:
Clue A: Is on the NW Corner of the Intersection.
Clue B: Is on the 2nd street corner to the East of the Webcam Pole.
Clue C: Is on a little traffic island of the Webcam Pole.
Clues D & E: Are near the base of their Webcam poles.
Calculating GZ!
This is going to get tricky and a touch confusing so watch your step! If you hit a letter as one of the "X's from your clues, convert it to a number based on its position in the alphabet. Eg: H=8, E=5, X=24 etc.
GZ = S33° 5F.GHJ, E151° 0K.LMN
Where:
F = (166)
G = (163-228)
H = (213)
J = (179-198)
K = (226-161)
L = (225+196)
M = (181x214)
N = (211-209)
At GZ you may be very exposed to Muggles. It will be IMPOSSIBLE to safely retrieve the cache if Muggles are around. PLEASE! It has taken you this long to get there... wait until the coast is clear.
Good Luck!
