Starting at the published coordinates (WP1) you will have to move in and around the park where you will find all the information needed to solve the puzzle. You will need to make note of the required numbers, and you might need to use a calculator.
When you have it solved you should end up with a three digit number.
The final coordinates will be:
S 33° 43.XYZ and E 151° 08.XYZ.
T0 arrive at ‘XYZ’:
A. All the numbers of the phone number on the nearby sign for Kuring-gai Municipal Council added together.
B. The number of light poles for illuminating the oval.
C. The walking distance to Gwydir Ave.
D. The walking distance to Burns Rd.
Now add A+B+C+D, which we will call ‘E’.
F . Add together all the numbers for the road side telegraph pole 'MC_ _ _ _ _' closest to WP1.
Now multiply E times F.
The answer you now have is ‘XYZ’ which are the last 3 digits of the coordinates. Simple!
Your final destination is in a lover’s lane near ‘Apple Tree Cottage’. The cottage was built by Samuel Kings’ son William as a separate cottage for his mother-in law to stay in when she was visiting from the UK. The main farm house is behind the large white brick wall on the north side of the lane.
Samuel King was born in County Donegal Ireland in 1828 and immigrated to Australia in 1853.
He and his wife Marnie Wood established orchards along Bobbin Head Road and at North Turramurra. They grew citrus and stone fruits as well as exotic fruits such as china pears, persimmons, and custard apples. The ‘apple tree’ from Apple Tree Cottage died only a few years ago. The cache itself is only big enough for very small flat swaps and geo-coins. Please use stealth and cunning while finding and replacing the cache as the lane way is frequently used by lovers of people and dogs by day and by night.
This cache has been inspired by calypso62, the CO of ‘Where’s the Kaboom??’ which was my first ever find and my introduction to Geo-caching. I hope finding this cache is as enjoyable for you as my first find was for me.
