Description

This multi-location treaure hunt will take you to five locations in Lismore. At each location you will need to look down to find clues for the next location. The final numbers sought and found will take you to the treasure - a geocache. The distance walking/riding/driving from Location 1 through to Location 5 is approximately 4.5km. Should you choose to walk or the like and need to return to Location 1, the distance between Location 5 back to Location 1 is about 1km. So let the hunt begin!

 

Location 1. S28° 48.555' E153° 16.604' - Here you'll find a river in the concrete path. To missing coordinates you seek for the next location can be found in this little river. Make sure you look everywhere, even under a seat if you need to, and be careful you don't lose count (like I did a couple of times making this). Location 2 can be found at:
S28° 48.(dragonflies + kingfishers)44 E153° 16.5(Frogs (not tadpoles) + turtles + platypuses + magpies + information lily pads).

Location 2. If you go up a little bit and then look down you will find a special stone with information on and above it. Location 3 can be found at:
S28° 48.2(RRHS marker number + 10)   E153° 16.5( the number value of the first letter of the day of the week this stone was laid - google is your friend here).

Location 3. Looking down here you will find a surname, twice in fact. You only need one though. Each letter has a matching number value based on A=1, B=2, etc. Location 4 can be found at:
S28° 48.(add the first, second, third, fourth, seventh and ninth numbers)3 E153° 16.(add all the letters + 14)

Location 4. Here you will most probably be standing above lthe next numbers needed. Instead of looking down and risking falling down, use the gate and look at what you were standing on. You are looking for a white rectangle with 6 black numbers stenciled onto it. The final location and treasure you seek can be found at:
S28° 48.(the first 3 digit number +5) E153° 16.(the second 3 digit number -4).

Location 5. See hint for treaure location - if you don't get it, google it.  If you are lucky to turn up here at the right time, you may find more treasure for the eyes nearby.

There is a coordinate checker for the final location you can use to make sure you are reading the sign correctly. Should you need any assistance at any other location please don't hesitate to contact me on 0478 647 885.

I love a cache that highlights the subtleties of a location, especially when it comes to art. If it wasn't for this cache I would have missed much of what I got shown today. Speaking of art, the container is sitting inside a real gem. Thanks for creating this cool multi Smile

 
Little FTF reward attached to cache. Just pull the string.
 
New fancy cache container in place.
Only moved "around the base".

Hopefully this one isn't disturbed by the volunteers through the sliding door nearby. Which you are welcome to enter through if the roller door is up. You may even see a geocacher within some days or special evenings.
 
Temporarily out of action. Cache has been discovered by muggles and moved. A replacement will come soon with a minor coordinate update.

I’ve been chipping away at this cache for a week or so, visiting the locations on different days after work, or before a shopping trip. I has the final co-ordinates a few days ago, but wasn’t sure if I was in the correct spot – but turns out I was.

Today, I had the cache in hand and the log signed. Nice little tour though Lismore. Surprising what you’ll find when you look down!

I’ll be interested to see what the final container looks like, so I’ll be back to check it when it’s in place. It’s only a few doors down from a place I visit more often than I should!

Another interesting multi from C○3 ♀ Ɛ○<<○3! It also ticks my current Cacheopoly quest too, which is an additional bonus!
 
Update to location #4 info. The geochecker should work now.
 
Temporary cache container in place while the real one is being fired.
