The posted coordinates bring you to one of Australia's most iconic sporting landmarks, the MCG.
As you take a walk around the outside of the MCG you will see a number of statues of elite sports people who have competed at the MCG over the years.
You are trying to find a particular statue. By reading the plaques on some of the statues as you walk around the MCG, you will gather clues to find this statue. Use these clues to solve the coordinates of the mystery statue, then use your gps to navigate to it. Send a photo of yourself or your caching name with the mystery statue to the CO using the 'submit answers' button or by sending a message to the CO.
If you do not send your photo within 10 days of logging your log will be deleted. This is to ensure the game is played in the true spirit.
You may wish to upload a photo of yourself with one of your favourite sports stars in your found log.
