Cricket, Anyone? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Alansee: Since the new concrete works allowed side access to the door, the location of this cache has become highly compromised. I am accordingly archiving it.

Geocache Description:

Cricket has been played at the MCG since 1853 and this stadium is recognised as one of the best in the world.

Since its complete re-building it has become a very comfortable venue with excellent views from every seat. If you have never attended a game here make sure that you do one day.

I would like to have secreted this cache inside the 'G', but that might have made it a bit hard to get too. I have however found an interesting place. Just to the city side of the ‘G’ is an outdoor practice area completely surrounded by netting. When the cricket is happening here players will be seen practising in this area. What people often don’t know though is that they can also be seen at other times – including the middle of winter! Right beside the cache site is an indoor practice area, and if you wander over to the other side of the netted area you may well see players practicing.

The cache is a painted eclipse container. It will be difficult to get at unseen during an event but at other times shouldn’t be particularly hard.

Please BYO pen.
