Description
Kororoit Creek Walk - End of the line
The opposite end of the line to Creekside View, this is another place simply to stop have a breather for a moment or two, find an easily hidden geocache and move on. You are looking for a 200ml sistema container hidden in the most logical location.
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.

Many thanks caughtatwork, enjoyed our day exploring the area.
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 nearly a drive by.
Quick sign and moved on.
