Description

Round the bend - Caroline Spring Walk

Just taking a stroll, finding some geocaches is what we’re here for today.

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 a 200ml Sistema container painted to blend into the surrounds. 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.

Would you believe there was a frog at GZ.

Yes a live frog.

Surprised me.

Think it was all the moisture.

Unfortunatley not good for the cache condition.

TFTC Very Happy

Today we spent our day geocaching in and around the Caroline Springs area, This was one of 18 finds. Log book was sodden but still signable.

Many thanks caughtatwork, enjoyed our day exploring the area.

Next stop and again the cache was a quick find, however the log book was a sodden mess. Rain or nearby sprinkler run off, not sure which. Scratched my name where the log book opened, but it was more a mark than my name. Didn't think to bring any replacement logs unfortunately, so cache was replaced as it.

Thanks again C@W.

A maintenance run this morning for some of the local caches that need a welfare check. This cache was in poor repair and has been replaced.

This container was full of water and the log soaked. It needs replacing.

MrsY'stassie continued her walk around the path. It was very quiet and she had the track to herself. Reaching GZ she spotted the position of the hide and removed the cover noting the dry crached ground around the container. Imagine her horror when she opened the container and found it full of slimey water. The area must have been very wet some time before.

Unfortunately she could only drain the water out as she had used her only fresh tissue drying the container at the previous stop. The log book was saturated and the pages tore when she tried to sign. The cover was not quite so wet and she signed that.

Thanks for this cache caughtatwork. This cache is in needed of owner attention. It was another FTF at 11:00
