Geocache Description:

These clues will take you on a short 10-15 minute walk past some of Melbourne's historic transport sites on the way to the cache.

At the published coordinates you will find a Federation Marker on a short post.
The historic marker has been removed... to find the history visit http://home.vicnet.net.au/~malvern/more_faq.htm and search for "Oppy" on the page.
Note: The waypoint is the location where the Malvern Star shop used to be.
Read the brief history and determine the next location.

abcd = The year Oppy joined Small.
e = a + c

At S 37°51.5ed' E 145°01.7ab' you will find another Federation Marker, but this time it's on a brick wall.

gh = the number of these vehicles operating in Feb 1920(the number shown).
j = g - e - a
k = h + a

At S 37°51.4jj' E 145°01.7ck' you will find the 1 litre cache container. It is under the edge of the light red brick building behind two stacked bricks at ground level. The cache includes a log and some swaps.
