Kororoit Creek Walk - The Wall

The wall is a retaining wall that keep the apartments above you, well, above you. The wall looks like it's not going to last a hundred years, so I hope that the home owners have some good insurance. With most of the western suburbs being reactive clay (clay that changes size as it absorbs water or dries out) and other evidence of poor foundations in the many rock retaining walls that are all falling forward I hope that the builder that laid these foundations has done them deep and strong. Regardless of that they should last long enough for you to find this geocache ... or will they. There is a small hint, but not the usual giveaway and the size of the geocache should be an indication of where you might start looking.

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.
