The cache is not at the posted coordinates.



By this cache - I want you to make a "little" trip... trip back to history, back to roots, and trip to Poland (why?)... I want to show you a little bit of history - who was Kosciuszko, who was Strzelecki, and why this Mount has this name. They both were Polish, they are wery vell known there, and Poland is very proud of them. If you are interested to finding this cache -> You will need to visit Kosciuszko Peak here in New South Wales (Australia) and than come to Nowy Sacz (Poland) to get the final box with logbook



GZ of this cache isn't local, GZ is in Europe->Poland->Nowy Sacz->Park Strzelecki


If you want to find the final box, you need to visit Mt Kosciuszko.

First task is to count the number of letters on the bottom black line on the plate (on the coordinates of this cache) where is explanation of the name this mount.

Number of letters -> named "B"

Second task is to count the screws on the iron plat on the top of obelisk placed on Mount Kosciuszko.

Number of screws +2 -> named "A"

 

 

Third task - when you will go up to the mount or down, visit the Seaman's house , near the house is signpost on the rock (waypoint number 01) .

Check the meters above sea level - sum all the numbers - the sum will be -> named "C"

Fourth task - in the same place - check how many kilometres is from Seaman's house to Charlotte Pass (via Summit Trail) - This number will be -> named "D"

 

Final coordinates are in :

E (A-C)(2*D-2*C)(C-A)°(B/C-A)(D-A).(C-3)(D-C+2)(2*A/C)
