Geocache Description:

The next in the series

*THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES*
"This is my home
This is my sea
Don't paint it with a future of factories
This is my life
this is my right
I'll make it what I want to
I'll stay and I'll fight"
(Midnight Oil)

Probably my favourite Midnight Oil song ever. This song talks about pollution caused by industry.

The location will give a hint as to the song's title, so straight on to the puzzle.

The former Tioxide Australia plant was near here. Through a google search find the number of species of mammal found on the site since the industry closed down. That number divided by 3 equals A.

From the lyrics how many children in the harbour play their games? the answer Multiplied by 2 equals B

the year the plant closed down was 19CD

Cache is located at:

S41 04.ABB
E145 54.5CD
