Angry Lockers Multi-Cache

Alsume’s ninth cache is a short multi-cache in a park next to the Moonee Ponds Creek and of course the Moonee Ponds Creek bike trail.
The coordinates above should have taken you to a sign describing a series of 3 totems placed along the Moonee Valley Heritage Trail, which interpret significant historical and cultural sites of the area - however at presentt the sign has been removed, posssibly to get rid of the grafitti. I amended one of the clues below due to the removal of this sign, but the cache location is the same. The coordinates above still put you adjacent to the scupture in this park. The name of the cache may become obvious to you when you see the name of the park. The totem at this location has an indigenous theme and depicts a lil lil, a boomerang and a spearhead, which were versatile tools and weaponry of the indigenous inhabitants of the area. The two other totems on the Heritage trail are located at Boeing Reserve in Strathmore and Travancore Park, Travancore.
The number of rocks used in the spearhead sculpture is AB.
The total number of large rocks holding up the lil lil and boomerang minus 2 is C.
The number of concentric circles at the top of the spearhead sculpture plus 1997 is DEFG.
The cache can be found a short distance away at
S 37 44.(B-D-A)(B+G+E-1)(C-D+A+F)
E 144 55.(B+F)(C+D+A)(B-C+E)
The cache is close to the Strathmore train station, and to Pascoe Vale Road. On the other hand if you have a bike, this cache is more or less on the Moonee Ponds Creek bike trail, so you could turn it into a long ride and pick up other caches on this trail and Alsume’s Pascoe Pedal series not that far away.
Before Essendon FC built their new Tullamarine facility, this park was used from time to time by Essendon as a pre-season training venue when Windy Hill was still occupied by cricketers. The park now hosts soccer games and training right across the park.
The cache is approx 200ml screw top, camouflaged to match its surroundings.
There is no pen so please bring your own.
