Description
A Break in the fence - Western Ring Path
The Western Ring Path is the continuation of the Western Freeway Path along the Western Ring Road and provide more opportunity for some walking or cycling along a nicely made asphalt path way. This small section of the path is very noisy as you make your way alongside the very busy freeway. But if you're up for the challenge then this little section is only about 800m long and you should be able to park close enough to each end to make these geocaches a brisk walk and grab. Damn, which side of the path? Well, which one has a broken fence? Ahh, yes, that side. This is not too hard a geocache to find, simply look for the way items may be piled that nature isn't going to do. As this is a high traffic area (for bikers), please try and cover the geocache well so it cannot be seen.

The big bonus of a damp afternoon seems to be that most riders are "fair weather" cyclists. That was most certainly the case today. I have the trail to myself. But then, who else but a cacher would be out here this late in the day, on a rather wet day?
A nice quick find in an obvious spot. The SPOS gave it away whilst keeping it hidden.
Cache and contents in good order. Needs more visitors!
Thanks for the caches C@W. Much appreciated.

After a morning of Lax I decided to grab the treddly and ride home.
Bypassing from Newport and caching thru Sunshine before heading back towards the west.
I bypassed down the Western Ring Road Bike Track for some smileys.
Nice quick find.

No problems here, obvious to a half-experienced cacher.

Well.
This wasn't the day I'd planned, but family matters had turned the weekend on its head. Between sleeping in after the fun of caching in the dark until so late it was almost early, and staying at home to referee while the better half ran some errands, it wasn't until mid afternoon that I rolled out the gate.
Finally logging my first cache for the day after crossing the Whitten Bridge, I continued anticlockwise around the Ring Road, bagging 42 finds, and a handful of DNFs.
Thanks, C@W... today's haul has gone a long way toward my ambition of getting my GA logs over 10% of the GC total.

There was a little protection from the sun as we approached this hide. There certainly was a large hole in the fence. Accurate coordinates soon had us at the hiding spot where the container was extracted. Container and contents were in good condition. We enjoyed a little time in the shade while replaced the container and rebuilt the hide.
We had not encountered any muggles walking or running but the noise from the industrial estate was growing in intensity and there was a strong petrochemical smell along this section of the pathway.
Thanks for this cache in the Western Ring Road series of caches Caughtatwork.

#GA1914 - 14:11; Day two of a caching mission to Victoria with Sol de lune. Our major goal for the week is to complete the SSS and other series along the Western Freeway/Ring Road and to then collect enough GCA caches around Docklands to bring our total finds for the day to 100+ which would build our trophy cabinets a bit more as we complete a few more 'missions'. This was one of 82 finds in just under 6 hours along the various series, where we only had the one DNF! We had now finished the 'ring path' to the north and after some lunch now headed east again on the home stretch. Apologies for the mostly generic logs. TFTC caughtatwork

After grabbing lunch nearby, it was time for LuckyL10n and I to start the last leg of these caches. A bit of shelter as we headed along this path so the riding was a little easier without the wind in our faces.
All was good with the caches and all were found in good condition.
Thanks for the continuing series C@W.....

This morning my auntie 'cathlud' came to watch me play hockey and then we did some geocaching on our way home.
My auntie let me use her GPS and I followed the arrow and read the details to find this cache.
Thank you for placing this cache.

After picking my niece (PrincessFiona) up from Yarraville we were ready for a few hours of geocaching along the Western Ring Rd Path, on our way home. Earlier in the week I noticed that four new caches had been added to the path and this morning the FTF glory was still unclaimed.
We parked in Plummer Rd and took a short walk along the path to find the four caches up to Piper Rd. PrincessFiona was in charge of the GPSr and I used my geosense. Finding four blank logs was a highlight for the princess and also finding a few pathtags to add to her small collection.
Thank you caughtatwork for the series.
