Description
Box in the rocks - Western Ring Path
The Western Ring Path is the continuation of the Western Freeway Path along the Western Ring Road and provides opportunity for some walking or cycling along a nicely made asphalt path way.
You are looking for a 1 litre sistema container for this geocache.
Like its counterpart on the other side of Furlong Road, this geocache is placed so you can take a few moments to relax and cool off as you walk or cycle along the Western Ring Path. You may be spotted through the chain link fence at this location so please try and avoid being seen by anyone in teh bvuliding or carpark as you conduct your search. Given the size of this container you shouldn't be here very long at all.

Logs
Today we started with the Western Ring Path series of caches then headed over to Cairnlea to find some more in that area. We had selected 36 caches to find and this was one on our list. Unfortunately, we could only manage 24 finds, the rest were DNF"S.
Cache and contents were dry and in good order.
Thanks caughtatwork.

Back in Melbourne for a few days and with a bit of spare time today headed out to finish off the last 5 in this series...
Started here and had no problems and soon had the cache in hand. Log signed, cache replaced and it was off to the next one.
Thanks the cache C@W....

A good sized container, and a nice easy find.

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.

We were pleased to see that there we no cars close to the fence and all looked quiet around the buildings nearby. The cache was well hidden so a casual passer by would not suspect that something was hidden here. Cacher sense enabled a quick find, log, replace and recover. All was in good order.
It was time for a quick drink before returning to the path and heading to the next cache. The heat coming off the path resulted in Mrs Y'stassie choosing to walk beside the path most of the way to the next cache. Only one muggle rode by during the walk to the next cache.
Thanks for another well hidden cache Caughtatwork.

I am staying with my auntie 'cathlud' this weekend and we love the Western Ring Path caches. She says that they are good for me to find. I enjoy using her GPS, reading the cache descriptions and then searching for the caches.
I found this one quickly then I remembered to be careful that no muggles saw what we were doing.
Thank you for placing this cache for us to find.

My niece (PrincessFiona) is unexpectedly staying with me for the next four days. We had a few hours free-time this morning and I noticed that another section of the Western Ring Path of caches had been recently published. We have previously enjoyed this series so we made the 40 minute drive from home, to spend 70 minutes caching and then 40 minute drive back. 
I let my niece use my GPS and find the caches. I sign the log (she can't write small enough on the narrow logs) and she rehides the cache before we are off to the next one.
A surprising quiet spot today, apart from a few people going onto the club for lunch. I can see how it would be very busy on the weekends.
Thank you caughtatwork for this cache and continuing series.

#GA2059 - 12:23; In Melbourne with the geohoney for a few days to visit the geoteen, and today the girls had a day planned around appointments, retail and the art gallery, so I was off a caching again! The plan for today was to collect eleven new caches along the Western Ring Path which have appeared since my last visit in July. Parked not too far from the start of this section of the trail and headed off on foot. Managed to collect eleven caches for eleven *FTF* as I made my way along the bikepath. I checked the hints for a couple of the caches where there were muggles close by and I wanted to speed up the hunt to avoid scrutiny, but the majority were easily located and the coords were spot on the whole way along. I hope I wasn't spotted from the nearby club with the ample parking area when I grabbed this one
