Geocache Description:


This cache won't be found at these coordinates at Lord Reserve,  but it is not too far away. 

This is the Mystery cache associated with the now FIVE  caches devoted to Cricket field positions.

This series has been nominated for the 2022 Victorian Cache Awards . Best Series Category.

I appreciate the nomination - enjoy anyway

The series serves as a tribute to SKW,   "the King of Spin" bowler  whose recent death at a young age has touched many Australians.

The caches are hidden close to Cricket fields (also serve as AFL grounds)  and Bowling nets facilities in the City of Glen Eira. 

Each hide is unique. As always,  stealth and timing will be the key especially as these facilities are used on the weekends. 

SKW took 708 wickets in Test matches. His highest batting score was 99.

He took a Test Hattrick in 1994 against England - and bowled the famous "Gatting ball of the Century" on 4/6/1993. 

THE CACHE 

To find this cache, solve the formula below from information here  on this cache page, from common sense and from the FIVE other caches.

( update -03/05/2025 I have had to archive Murrummbeena Covers due to repeated muggle activity. -There were SIX caches when it was 

published.) - all the clues are still available.

The  five  caches are 

McKinnon Point

Koornang Cow Corner

Glenhuntly Gully

Princes Leg Slip

East Caulfield Third Man

 SKW - UVWXYZ = ABCDEF 

The cache is found at - 

S 37 54 ABC  E 145 03. DEF

You are looking for a snap shut container - with a first to open FTF reward. It is a good size cache hidden deeply.

It has a log and pencil and a tool of the trade ( to leave please.) This is a high muggle area - please check all angles before retrieving .

Replace as found. FTF went to the wicket-keeper n0w0rries. Well caught !
