Description

Kororoit Creek Walk - Tree Wedge

Take an afternoon and have a walk along Kororoit Creek in Deer Park and enjoy the wildlife including tiger snake, eastern blue-tongued lizard, common snakeneck turtle and eastern brown snake. Sighting are now rare with development driving most of the creatures away from the built-up areas.
A wedge of trees with poor visibility of the sky and a micro geocache. I hate me too :-) There is a good hint on this one so if you can't find it, then don't feel guilty about cracking that hint and then finding the geocache.
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.

Caching along the Koroit Creek Trail, this was one of 14 finds.

A tricky one to find, grateful for the hint.

Cache and contents are in good condition.

Many thanks caughtatwork, enjoyed our day exploring the area.

Spotted this one reasonably quickly once in amongst it all. Log signed, cache replaced and then back to the car for the trip up the highway...with one more stop along the way.

Thanks for the trips around the area [email protected] come back again for a few more.

I decided to get out and about today.

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.

Cache blindness for me here.

It was staring me in the face.

I soon spotted it though.

TFTC Very Happy

All was quiet when we reached this junction and its little stand of trees. We used the hint as the GPS was jumping around. It took a little while to locate the container as it was well tucked away under a thick blanket of natural camo material. After signing the log we replaced it as found replacing its thick blanket.

Thanks for this hide caughtatwork. We enjoyed the variety of cache containers and thoughtful hides we encountered as we completed this series. {FTF} at 8.15.
