Description
She-Ra Oak - 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 200ml sistema container for this geocache.
There are little stands of trees all the way along this section of the Western Ring Path and you will note that the majority of them have been lopped off not much above head height. This is done for safety as the overhead power lines may be in danger of touching the trees if, oh say, they were less than 100 feet abnove the trees. I'm sure the council know what they are doing, but it does make for an interesting view of the flat topped greenery along this path.

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.

Second of five grabbed, with the good wife enjoying the walk, while filling in time before flights further afield. No problems here and the cache was soon spotted the and the log signed.
Thanks for another C@W and the continuation of the series.....

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 like Sheoaks and have enjoyed the variety of these trees we have seen in our caching travels around Australia. We particularly like their shape and usually pendulous needle and little spiny cones or are they nuts? They do look a little odd with flat tops. Not sure that these would ever endanger the power lines.
As he dived under the bushes he thought he saw the other team member in the distance possibly at the next hiding spot.
The cache was found safe and in good condition where the hint indicated it would be. After replacing the container he emerged to find the other half not far away. Time to retreat from the heat for lunch and to plan an attack on the caches at the Altona end of the pathway.
Thanks for this cache Caughtatwork and for a reason to get our daily walk in on what was a hot day for these two North West Tasmanians.

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.
My auntie says that I need to concentrate when I get to GZ and then I will find the cache before she does.
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.
We have many sheoaks near our holiday house in Rosebud so sorting the sheoaks from the others left us with only a few options for where this cache could be. I chose better than my niece so I found the cache before her.
Thank you caughtatwork for this cache and continuing series.

#GA2065 - 13:18; 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. Needed to check a couple of possibilities for this one, but persistence paid off with another find. TFTC caughtatwork
