Geocache Description:

An easy single-stage multi-cache set in the Cranbourne Memorial Oak Trees Park.

According to the plaque found at the published coordinates, the stone memorial and shelter is a worthy remembrance for those Cranbourne and district men and women who served their country with honour. The beautiful avenue of oak trees (Quercus Robur) was planted in honour of those Cranbourne and district sons and daughters who served in World War One. Since this time, many more trees have been planted in the avenue to acknowledge those who served in subsequent conflicts.

Also planted through the park are numerous Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) plants and hedges. Rosemary has used as a symbol for remembrance during weddings, war commemorations and funerals in Europe and Australia. Mourners would throw it into graves as a symbol of remembrance for the dead. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Ophelia says, "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance." Traditionally, sprigs of rosemary are worn on ANZAC Day and sometimes on Remembrance Day, and are usually handed out by Legacy and the RSL. Rosemary has particular significance for Australians, as it is found growing wild on the Gallipoli peninsula.

Inside the stone shelter are a number of brass plaques listing those who made the Supreme Sacrifice.
Count the number of names on the plaque listing names from 'A' to 'D', this number is 'Y'.
Then count the number of names on the plaque listing names from 'L' to 'N', this number is 'Z'.

To find the cache, return to the main plaque (at the coordinates provided for this cache) on the outside of the shelter and use your GPS to make the following projection:
(Y x 16) degrees
(Z + 1) meters

Or in words: (Y multiplied by 16) degrees, (Z plus 1) meters

The cache is a well camouflaged micro-vial hidden in an obvious location.
