Description

Kororoit Creek Walk - At the corner

When developers provide fencing to properties before the houses are built you can almost guarantee that the homeowner is going to look for a little more privacy. With a block of land on the corner with pathways and walking tracks on two sides I can easily understand why this landowner has gone for the ultimate in privacy building a fence and then, just in case, another fence to keep the riff-raff from peering in. This provides a great opportunity to hide a 400ml sistema container to keep it high, dry and out of sight of any random passer-by. Please be respectful of the property line at this location and use a little stealth as the owners obviously do not want anyone peering in.

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.

A couple of FTF's too.

Nice view from here.

Quick find.

Had to quiet here with a few people nearby, but certainly out of sight. Cache was spotted ok, but it took a few minutes to get the right angle before it was in hand. GPS was perched, along with cache, while the log was signed, then the cache was carefully returned to its hiding spot.

A bit of fun and all good. Thanks for the tester C@W...
