About Cairnlea
Cairnlea is a suburb of Melbourne 17 km north-west of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Brimbank. The former Albion site became open grassland after European settlement but later, from 1939, it was a government explosives manufacturing site. The site closed in the 1990s. The suburb is a new estate, and has only been developed since 1999, with development of the new suburb finishing in mid-2005. The suburb features several man-made lakes and has implemented a suburb-wide stormwater recycling system that feeds all the lakes. Cairnlea covers 460 hectares (4.6 km2) bounded by Station Rd, the Western Highway and the Western Ring Road. Some 130 hectares (320 acres) have been set aside for public open space. Part of that process has seen two endangered species (the Plains Rice-flower and the Striped Legless Lizard) having reserves and management plans set up for their preservation. Kororoit Creek is located on the southern border of the suburb and Jones Creek on the Northern Border. The creeks have been home to healthy populations of native reptiles for thousands of years, including Tiger snake, Eastern Blue-tongued Lizard and Eastern brown snake. Unfortunately, due to development over the past 20 years, these species are now rarely seen in the area. Due to development of lakes and wetlands, species of frogs have reclaimed the area. The Eastern Banjo Frog, Common Eastern Froglet and even the now endangered Growling Grass Frog have been seen and heard in the new wetlands and in Kororoit Creek. Some species of birds are also returning to the creeks and lakes, such as pelicans and cormorants.

Walked up to GZ and spotted the cache without issue. Stood looking over the side while signing the log and once completed, the cache was replaced and it was on to the next one. Looks like someone has dumped some green waste in the area, which helps to hide the cache. Very Happy

Thanks for another one...cache all good.

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.

Like a crash bang find.

Easy to drive by and pick up.

Sign and move on.

TFTC Very Happy

The section of the walkway between GA14243 and tbis one was very busy and Mrs Y'stassie met two young families, one making its way to the lovely play ground and the other out riding. After chats with both groups the area was soon muggle free and Mrs Y'stassie thought she would make a quick walkby find without using her GPS. In went the hand and out it came - empty!!! On checking her GPS she found that she was still 11m away. She continued on until she had another suitable area to search. This time she was successful. Another very good hide.

Thanks for this cache caughtatwork and for the lesson - don't assume you know where the cache is hidden, check your GPS. The view up the creek is well worth stopping for. Yet another {FTF} at 10.05.
