This cache has been archived.

tiddalik: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This cache requires you to visit 3 sites in total, just to make sure you enjoy the great views. Great walking or riding tracks. Easy terrain, difficulty of 2 because the total distance covers about 4km.
At the historic marker take note of the dates. I was here after dark reading the plaque by torchlight when from nowhere two men appeared playing bagpipes. Were they real or were they ghosts from the past???
Using these dates and the following instructions calculate the site of the next cache, a film canister containing only a puzzle to calculate the location of the final cache.
For the following calculations all the answers should be positive not negative.
Subtract the days = a
Subtract the months = d
Add the years = eb**
c=a+e
Site of film canister is S 38 ab.cda
E145 db.eaa
Hope you kept those dates. This is a new set of calculations.
Add the days = *u
Add the months = y
Add the years = xs*v
Subtract the years (+ve answer)= w*s
Which leaves r and t unsolved. These are both even numbers not appearing in the above calculations. r is less than t
There are two routes to this final site.
If you approach quietly at dawn or dusk you will see wallabies grazing on the open grasslands.
Original contents:
Log book/pen, 35mm film, $2 Postage stamps, bandaids
This is my first multi cache. Let me know what you thought.
