Geocache Description:

This is the twenty seventh in a series of caches called Not Drowning, Caching, which explores Phillip Island; each cache contains a letter and number clue, which you will need to use to find the final in the series - please write down the clue then leave it in the cache!

These spots are major tourist areas, so the difficulty might increase with muggle infestation.


This clue has been inspired by an Australian music legend, with a little help from a former Warden of New College Oxford, who was notoriously prone to metathesis.

The cache is located at:
E 145 RE.AL
S 38 TH.ING

Where:
R = what number did The Real Thing reach in Australia, Chicago, Houston, and New York?
E = the number of times “Oo mama mow-mow” is repeated in the chorus
A = the beach number
L = how many minutes long was the production extravaganza around The Real Thing?
T = how many times is the line “Tryin’ hard to understand the meaning that you’ll see in me” sung?
H = and how many “mama”’s are in the line immediately preceding them?
I = in which year of the 40’s was Russell Morris born?
N = and in which month?
G = on which day in July 2008 was he inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame?
