Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates will place you at the plaque for Kanyapella State School provided by the Tongala Local and Family History Group.
The school closed in 1941.

Obtain information at the plaque and make your way to GZ, which is nearby.



On the day we found the plaque, 6 or more very boisterous dogs came charging out the gate barking at us. They appeared friendly, and did not bother when I got out of the car, however for the security of cachers we have made this a multi. You are able to drive right up to the plaque to obtain the required information, so if you choose not to get out the car, or take a photo to calculate answers, that is OK.

Step 1.

From the plaque at the posted coordinates, answer the following questions.

A) Kanyapella Parish was originally identified as __________.

 

B) Bangerang Rd was originally the ____________/___________ Rd.

 

C) The telephone exchange was conducted by the _____________ family.

 

D) The nearby hotel was named _______________ Gardens.

 

E) The telephone exchange was also a _____________ _____________.

 

F) Opposite the school was the _____________ Shanty.

 

Step 2.

Take the first letter of each missing word (or the first letter of the first word in a 2 word answer) and convert to a number using alpha numeric code.

Phone reception can be unreliable in this area, so to assist in verifying you have the correct answers the sum of A to F is 72.

Step 3.

Calculate GZ in the following equation:

S 36 05.A,B+C,A

E 144 53.E/2,F-E-A,F+C-D

 

The cache:

A small camo container containing a log book & is suitable for small swaps.

Please rehide as found and be careful not to damage when replacing.
