Swinburne University of Technology is an Australian public dual
sector university based in Melbourne, Victoria. The institution was
founded by the Honourable George Swinburne in 1908 and achieved
university status in June 1992.
Swinburne has five campuses in Melbourne at Croydon, Hawthorn,
Lilydale, Prahran, Wantirna – and one in Sarawak, Malaysia.
As one of only five dual sector institutions in Australia,
Swinburne offers both TAFE and higher education
qualifications.
From 2006 to 2009, Swinburne was recognised by the Federal
Government for teaching excellence in the Learning and Teaching
Performance Fund (LTPF) which rewards universities for outstanding
performance. Swinburne was one of only nine universities to have
been rewarded for excellence in all four rounds of the LTPF.
Swinburne’s teaching quality has also been recognised in the
Good Universities Guide, ranking as the best in Melbourne for the
last four years

This is a short multi-cache that will take you on a tour around
Swinburne Hawthorn campus. As Swinburne is just a fairly-sized
campus, it will only be a short walk around and will not take long.
The way points:
1. S 37°49.250 E 145°02.313
This is a nice area where many students hang out in between
classes.
From the posted coordinates, you would arrive at WP 1.
How many fountain nozzles are there in total(both fountains)?
A
How many red benches are there around the fountain B
2. S 37°49.278 E 145°02.331
From where you stand,facing west would be the newly built
building.
Find out the building code: _ _
Now, if A=1, B=2, C=3..etc, substitute the numbers into C and D
respectively.
3. S 37°49.328 E 145°02.333
Above the door, you will notice a four crests. Above that four
crests is another crest, with four images separated by red lines.
Count the number of stars on the lines. E
4. S 37°49.346 E 145°02.296
You would be facing a building that looks like Cheese.
Find out the building code: _ _ _
Using the same formula as WP2, substitute the numbers into F,G
and H respectively.
The cache is located at S37 (E-F)(B-F).(H)(B-C)(G-D-F) E145
(A-E-H)(H-F).(F*2)(D-B)(G-B*2)
Note: Due to being surrounded by buildings, my gps readings has
been really shaky. Try using the hints if you need help.
The cache is a short walk from here. Take note that GZ is located
in the middle of a very BUSY area (muggle students going in
and out of classes during school hours), so deception and stealth
is a MUST if you are attempting to get it in the day. It is
best recommended to get it at night or quieter hours of the day.
After signing the log, place the cache back exactly where it was to
avoid it from being exposed.
PS:I live nearby on Unilodge on-campus
accomodation, so if any cacher is keen to meet up (if I'm not out
caching), do send me an email.
