WanAus 82 - Narrogin Memorial Park Narrogin, Western Australia, Australia
By WanderingAus on 25-Jun-23. Waypoint GA27314

An easy find somewhere in the local memorial park.

I couldn't maintain my cache GC1QVFN WanAus 82 - Narrogin Memorial Park after four DNFs and a "Cache Maintenance Visit Required please" Reviewer log "in a timely manner", so I had to Archive it on 12 Aug 22. 

On 03 Jun 23 AlliedOz Found it "In the area for WAGB #10 who would have thought back in 2013 that it would still be going strong all these years later".

A request to Un-Archive it got the response from the Reviewer "there's now another multi final within 20 metres".

Normally I would let it die, but it is one of the caches needed to find GC1QYV5 WanAus 89 - Roaming Western Australia cache, so it will now live on as a GCA cache.

The cache is not at the above coords, but they will take you to the aircraft propellor. There is a plaque on the base. Using the code A=1, B=2, ...Z=26, add the values of the first name of the person who unveiled it to get a two digit number = A.
Add the values of the last name of the person who unveiled it to get a two digit number = B.

At WP2 S 32° 56.061 E 117° 10.512  you will find a plaque on the replica torpedo (you might be able to find it without even using the gpsr ).
Add the values of the first name of the person who dedicated it to get a two digit number = C.
Add the values of the last name of the person who dedicated it to get a two digit number = D.

The cache will be found at S32 56.0(A + B - 82) E117 10.(((A + B + C + D) * 2) - 14) - NOTE - This is inside the park, if your calculations take you out of the park check your calculations.

The cache is a magnetic Eclipse mint tin.

Please treat this area with respect and take a moment or two to reflect on the service of those these items commemorate, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lest We Forget

I agree with MADSTARS on the importance of introducing our children to the RSL's and telling them what the men and women of the armed services did for us and our country, and the freedom we enjoy today. I look to those geocachers who hunt in company with their children and/or grandchildren to further this aim, so that they too Will Remember Them.

This cache is part of a series leading towards my GC1QYV5 WanAus 89 - Roaming Western Australia cache. There is an RWA number in the back of the log book. You will need to record this number in the format 82? (from WanAus 82 and ? for the RWA number) for future reference.

This is just a suggestion, but it may help you to keep track of the RWA numbers.
Every cache page has "*Personal Cache Note" *Click to enter a note, just above Geocache Description:
You could either add the code to each individual cache,
or add all numbers to GC1QYV5 WanAus 89 - Roaming Western Australia.

If you are heading out to hunt down some of my more remote GC1QYV5 WanAus 89 - Roaming Western Australia or GC29MXD WanAus 179 - Discover Western Australia caches, where the cache density is very low, why not consider taking a few prepared containers with you, stocked with log book and swaps etc, and when you spot one of those places that make you think "that would be a good place for a cache", place one of your own. Just check that there isn't a cache within 160 metres, and please don't place a micro in the bush where you could easily conceal an ammo box or Milo tin.
