Description
Gazania - Caroline Springs Walk
Gazanias can be considered a weed, but when they flower, they add colour to the somewhat under developed side of this estate.
Caroline Springs, just 25km west of Melbourne is a thriving community with a great trail of paths and walkways between the artificial lakes, ponds and creeks. Set in 800 hectares of grazing land Caroline Springs was developed on greenfield land since starting in 1999. At the north of the suburb is the town square and main shopping centre known as CS Square, and a man-made lake known as Lake Caroline. This series of geocaches takes you along some of the lesser-known pathways around various creeks and waterways on the edge of Caroline Springs.
The cache you seek is an upcycled micro (which you may mistake for some trash). Always be aware of snakes around water and leaves and think before you put your hands into any hole or where you can’t see the ground.

Today we spent our day geocaching in and around the Caroline Springs area, This was one of 18 finds. Cache and contents are in good condition.
Many thanks caughtatwork, enjoyed our day exploring the area.
Log is still fine, just in two halves, so no need for any maintenance. Thanks for another one C@W...
After drying the container as best we could we tore a strip of paper from the bottom of our recording sheet and left it as a temporary replacement log.
Thanks for this cache caughtatwork. We appreciate the work you do in placing these series of caches. This cache is in need of an owner check.
We were very surprised to note we were first to find at 10:50.
