Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the given location.

Golden Jubilee is one of two caches you'll need to find to complete the mystery cache Howzat!, part of the Ovals of St George Series. The other is Bradman.

Visit each of the WPs to source the information to find the cache. The cache is a micro and contains info required to complete the series. You'll find the cache on the outside of the oval.


Boy & Bear wrote in their song Golden Jubilee:
 
I do believe that something's happening to me
 

And this is how the die hard fans of the St George Illawarra Dragons feel when they enter the ancestral suburban home of their team, Kogarah Jubilee Oval.

 

On 1 July 1896 Kogarah Park was dedicated as the first public park in the area. During Kogarah's Jubilee celebrations in 1935, Jubilee Oval was constructed in Kogarah Park. The St George Illawarra Dragons National Rugby League team consider this ground to be their spiritual home even though they now play half their competition games in Wollongong and often get shifted to Moore Park and Homebush. Ongoing financial input into the venue has secured it's future as long as the team get to play enough home games here! Although mainly used for rugby league games, it has also hosted international soccer matches.

To find the cache, visit the waypoints to collect the following information:

At WP1, look down. Find the web address that appears twice. The number in that web address becomes a.

Also at WP 1, find the panel with info about the player with the initials CY. How many club games did he play? Add these digits together for b.

At WP2, you'll find a structure. Find the plaque with women on it. The number of women becomes c.

To calculate the cache location, use the following:

S33 58.(b/3)(a)(a+c)
E151 07.(b-1)(1)(c*a)

It would probably be wise not to attempt this cache on game day, not just because of the massive influx of muggles, but the extra security may not appreciate caching activity. Seeing as there are only 4-6 NRL games here per year now, you'll have plenty of opportunities to search uninterrupted (but there may be a new soccer team calling Kogarah home in the near future too!).

This is now a stand alone cache as the other caches in the group are now archived.

Congrats to birdman2099 for the FTF.
