Description
Pylon of Power - 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 micro container for this geocache.
Another micro, sigh. This one might be a little better than others as I found this concealment device in my shed where it has been lying for nearly a decade. Just look at the quality of this versus what you can buy now. So much better. So much cleverer. So much more suitable to its surrounds. Still a micro though.

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.
Soon identified GZ, then with a bit of digging the cache revealed itself, Contents were dry and in good order.
Thanks caughtatwork.

Arrived at GZ and soon had the cache spied....great to get a quick find before heading back to the previous one to continue the search there. Another one that blends in well...
Thanks for another one C@W....

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.

Mrs Y'stassies was passed by two bike riders as she walked towards this hiding spot. Fortunately by the time she was approaching GZ they had disappeared and there was no one in sight.
After a short circuit of the area and a few subtle probings into the rocks and grass to make sure that there were no undesireable inhabitants waiting to pounce she located the cache container. This is the best example of this type of container she has seen - very realistic!! After the search at the previous cache she really enjoyed this cache. Container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for this cache caughtatwork we did enjoy finding this container and seeing that there are some really good ones.

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.
An elderly man was watching us at this cache so I pretended to drop my watch and search for it so I could hide the cache again.
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.
This was one of the few caches where we saw a muggle. An elderly gentleman stopped on the path to watch us while we examined the Pylon. He lost interest after PrincessFiona started dancing.
Thank you caughtatwork for this cache and continuing series.

#GA2061 - 12:33; 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. This one wasn't quite what I expected here, but the search didn't take too long, while a hoon on a trail bike enjoyed himself out on the grassy area beside the path. Log signed, cache returned and I headed back to the geomobile to move closer to the remaining caches. TFTC caughtatwork
