Geocache Description:

The bonus cache for the dedicated Jeeker.
Thou who hast clambered all over this beauteous mountain, rewards shall be heaped upon thee in the form of abundant smilies.

The final of 7 new hides on Mt Baw Baw, following in the pioneering footsteps of the local Rover Crew.

START point lands you on the doorstep of what WAS one of the oldest ski clubs on the mountain, but in 2018 the club folded after 73 years of continual operation. WP1 gives you 2 clues:
Work out from information provided the year the club started and convert it into a single digit by adding all numbers together. Call this "W"
AND find a brown electrical terminating box near the gate way (obvious in the green season, but may be hidden in snow). On it at ground level is a yellow vertical strip with black numbers on it. Add these 7 numbers together until you get only one digit = "P"

If you have done your homework and worked backwards (BAW BAW reversed??!), you realised before attempting the WAB WAB series that there was a clue in each log book to collect didn't you.
If you didn't, you may have my commiserations, and a postal address so you can send me a postcard of you climbing the mountain a second time, and some Tamdhu for a clue.

Numbering WAB WAB 1-6 as clues A-F,

A=snow chains
B=tank hill
C=Frosti Hollow
D=Picanic BooBoo
E=Carry the Cairn
F=Big Hill West (number of Log books)
P=Electr Box
W=Club Year

S 37° 50.(A+D)(C-5)E+1

E 146° 16.(F-W)(B)(P-W)

Frosti hollow was Archived in 2019, the clue WAS 8
This series of differing caches are my first for this altitude above the snow line. Please afford me two favours: be careful replacing lids/screws to help with water-proofing; and provide me with feedback as to what is working and what isn't.
This cache container is a preform, and strangely the logbook will fit into it one way around, but not the other. You'll work it out, but dont try and force it. Congrats for getting this far. a 5 Difficulty will be good on your stats!
