Geocache Description:


There is no physical container for this geocache - it is a Virtual Cache. Logging this cache is as easy as one, two, three.



The posted coordinates will take you to the parking lot of the Bradman Museum and International Cricket Hall of Fame - which neighbors Bradman Oval and Glebe Park. This is your starting point. From here, make your way to each of the three waypoints listed below. You may visit them in any order.




Step 1. Visit waypoint one where you will find a statue of the greatest cricket player to ever play the game.

Your task. Provide photographic evidence of your visit. That is, post a photo of either yourself, your geocaching team, or your gps / phone with Don Bradman and upload it with your log. Alternatively, if you are camera shy, you may take a “unique” photo of Don Bradman that shows you did not source the picture online. Be as creative as you like.



Step 2. Visit waypoint two where you will find a statue of the world's most famous nanny.

Your task. State in your log the time of day you visit and the direction Mary Poppins is facing (in compass points or in degrees). Please note: her position changes and your response can be verified. At the time of creating this cache, at nine o'clock in the morning, Mary was facing due west or 90 degrees. (Photo not required but welcome).



Step 3. Visit waypoint three where you will find a magical Wollemi Pine (The Wishing Tree).

Your task. Make a wish. To do this: Close your eyes (no peeking); make a wish; open your eyes; walk forward (clockwise) three times around the tree; keep those eyes open; walk backwards (anti-clockwise) three times around the tree; on your last time around, close your eyes and wish your wish again. IMPORTANT: Do not state your wish in your log or it will not come true. (Photo not required but welcome). You may open your eyes again now.



The museum parking lot has "restricted" signs posted around. Do not be alarmed. Those signs are there to save a spot for you. You are a visitor to the museum grounds so you are allowed to park. But if the lot happens to be full anyway, parking is available around the entire block. Be patient, you'll find a spot.
