Description

Kangaroo Reserve - Caroline Springs Walk

Themeda triandra is a tufted perennial that can grow to 1.5 m tall and 0.5 m across. Its leaves are 10-50 cm long and 2-5 mm wide, green to grey. This was originally the home to a throng of kangaroos before the neighbourhood was overrun by humans. Alas not many ‘roos are to be found here nowadays.

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 micro container disguised 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.

As we headed towards this cache we were glad we didn't have to climb the tower and search for a nano. The area our GPS led us to was devoid of any material that would hide a cache container. After 5 minutes searching without any luck Mrs Y'tassie sat on the edge og the platform to read the hint, the page notes and the previous logs. After another 10 minutes of fruitless searching she was about to give up when she thought that there was an area she hadn't look in so walking pole begaan poking around and suddenly there were two beady eyes looking up at her. The cache container had been uncovered. When the log container was opened a very wet log roll appeared. It started to tear as Mrs Y'stassie tried to leave her mark. She replaced the roll with a new one before bputting the cache container back.

Thanks for this cache caughtatwork. A great sense of achievement when a tricky hide is located.

Next stop and the start of a few DNF's..

Arrived at GZ and started the search. Moved a mountain of leaves from around the area, however I couldn't spot a cache. I thought I was in the right place and if so, the cache looks as if it is gone. If I was in the wrong place, well, it could be there.

Thanks anyway C@W. Will watch and see what happens.

I pulled out the treadly dusted off the cobwebs.

After dropping the geodaughter at school I headed to the springs area for some smileys.

This one had me landscaping forever.

I thought it may be gone.

But eventually found it nice and deep and hidden.

TFTC Very Happy
