Bowled Over Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Smartypants45: Cache check today showed prolific growth of vegetation in GZ has now covered the cache location and we were unable to locate the cache or even the rock under which the cricket ball was placed - so unfortunately this one has to be archived (apologies to Stucks...).

Geocache Description:

**The cache is not at the given co-ordinates**. Instead, they lead to the Scotland Australia Cairn (which is interesting in its own right). This is the first cache in our Mosman-based cricket series.

Mosman CC has a proud cricketing history having been established in 1908 with former Australian cricket captain Allan Border being the most famous player. Other Mosman players have included Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, his brother and NSW captain Shane Lee and ex England captain Andrew Strauss. This cache is placed near Rawson Oval  where most home games for 1st Grade are being played in the 2012/13 season.

To get the true co-ordinates you need to solve the following puzzle:
