Description
Kororoit Creek Walk - Take a seat
You shouldn't need to take a seat just yet (unless you started at the other end of the trail) but feel free to take a seat and enjoy the view across the creek and the linear park. You are looking for a 200ml sistema container hidden in a logical place. You can get to the geocache from the path, but you may need to reach to get it.
About Kororoit Creek
The Kororoit Creek rises below Mount Kororoit, northeast of Melton in the north western outer suburbs of Melbourne. The creek's headwaters are north of Sunbury at approximately 400 metres (1,300 ft) above sea level in Ordovician geology. The creek flows generally south by east and passes over the volcanic lava plain of western Melbourne to its mouth at sea level, north of Altona and emptying into Altona Bay within Port Phillip. The creek is joined by one minor tributary as it descends approximately 407 metres (1,335 ft) over its 52-kilometre (32 mi) course. At the outlet in Altona Bay, the creek winds its way through the Altona Coastal Park and then the Jawbone Marine Sanctuary Park, where it enters Port Phillip.
From east of Sunbury, the Kororoit Creek makes its way down through many suburbs towards its mouth, including the towns and suburbs of Rockbank, Caroline Springs, Burnside, Kings Park, Albanvale, Deer Park, Cairnlea, West Sunshine, Ardeer, Albion, Brooklyn and Altona North.
The creek is traversed by the Melton Highway, east of Melton; the Western Highway and the Western Ring Road, at Ardeer; and the West Gate Freeway and Federation Trail at Brooklyn. The Kororoit Creek Trail runs along the banks in the lower reaches of the creek.

Logs
Many thanks caughtatwork, enjoyed our day exploring around caroline Springs.
Threw the bike in the car and headed out to find a few caches in the area here.
Only 3 dnf's of the 20+ that I managed to put my name on.
A couple of FTF's too.
This one I thought was gone.
But a little hard searching soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks for this cache caughtatwork. All was well with the container and contents. We decided to call a halt to our walk as the weather was deteriorating very quickly. Thanks for a great series of caches. We look forward to returning to finish our Kororoit Creek Walk. We found it hard to believe that this trail was published June 1 and was not found for over a month. A really great trail we hope others will visit soon.
Thanks [email protected] spot to sit for while.
