Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates but its a close walk, and it's not even at the final waymark but it is
within sight at the final waymark. First you need to go to other parts of Canberra and complete this three puzzle journey.

In a front yard in Cossington Smith Crescent, North Lyneham, there is a unique structure depicted in miniature.
Identify it and go to the real one.

Inside the real one, he’s in a hanging group photo. You need to answer:

Time:      What time was it taken? (I make it a triple)

Age:        What age was he to turn on the birthday he was about to celebrate?

Bench:     What bench was he sitting on?

Use the following to calculate Waymark Latham:

S = Listed Coordinates + Time - Bench2

E = Listed Coordinates - Time +Age

You have worked tyrelessly now it’s time for you to do the opposite.

Sit on the Front Bench and watch your back.

The container may be laden with lovely large loot.
Muggles are infrequent but respect the cache with espionage and stealth.
If it is muggly, come back later. Afterwards, slide to the side and cover your tracks.
