This cache is a simple easy to find micro that contains a logscroll and a small pencil. It's a good idea to bring your own writing stick anyway just in case. Lots of muggles frequent the area at all times of the day so a high degree of stealth may be required. Still, in the end it should be an easy grab.
Mark “Tubby” Taylor is a former Australian cricket player and test opening batsman who played for Australia from 1988 to 1999, as well as captain from 1994 to 1999, succeeding Allan Border. He was widely regarded as an instrumental component in Australia's rise to test cricket dominance, and his captaincy was regarded as adventurous and highly effective.
He retired from Test cricket on 2nd February, 1999. In 104 Test matches, he scored 7,525 runs with a batting average of 43.49, including 19 centuries and 40 fifties. He was also an excellent first slip – his 157 catches, at the time, a test record. Mark Taylor played many matches at Waitara Oval for his team, the Northern Districts Rangers, and has fond memories of his time at this ground. Can you imagine Tubby out in the centre belting out a ton?
In recognition of his achievements, Hornsby Council renamed this cricket ground “Mark Taylor Oval”. The official naming ceremony took place on 6th November, 2011 with the great man himself in attendance to witness the event. This is a fitting tribute to a fine Australian.
Enjoy the hunt.
