Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the lsited co-ordiantes.

Recently the local cricket club announced the start of winter training. Yes winter cricket training. (What happened to winter caching?)

Mimosa Oval is not the best oval for cricket as for a start its not oval shaped so there are some long and short bondaries. The pitch and bowling run ups use to be poor with rutted run ups and a narrow pitch. Recently a new pitch of full width and long run ups was installed at RL 122. Now to see if they will fix the boundaries!.

Anyway back to practice and the kit is a bit of a mess after last season. There's cricket balls, sunscreen, hats, pads, gloves, bats, an apple or two, keys to the club house, chalk, bottle opener etc (but no sand paper).

Apples at times can be a good source of energy, come in different colours and varieties however they don't last for ever and if they get hot or too wet they tend to be no good. Every now and then you get one that is completely rotten. Reaching into the kit an apple was found but soon realised it had a bad byte and it was launched as part of fielding practice. It was then we realised one of our caching log books had stuck to it so now we have a cache. See if you can find it. The following additional information was obtained from the video setup for practice.
