Description
Kororoit Creek Walk - Creekside View
As you stroll along the path you will always have the creek on either your left- or right-hand side and some of the views are worth taking a moment or two to stop and check out. At this location you can easily find the geocache and if your senses are working you may not even need to use the GPS to help you. The geocache you seek is a 200ml sistema container hidden in a logical place.
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 was another fun one.
Had to sit around waiting for a few muggles to pass.
But cache was safe and well.

We made a quick find of the cache which had been pushed back well out of sight of passing muggles. All was well with the container and contents.
Thanks for another cache in your KCW series caughtatwork. We did enjoy the views across the creek from this spot.
Thanks caughtatwork....enjoyed the walk and the area.
