Description

Edgewater [Edgewater Walk]

Edgewater was developed on the old Colonial Ammunition Factory site in Maribyrnong in 2001. A pleasant set of ponds has been created which allow boating and wildlife to abound (including snakes, so beware). This series of geocaches will take you on a walk around the ponds checking out the area and finding a few geocaches along the way.
The Edgewater sign is a sign that you are at Edgewater, near a sign. Alas the sign, like all things put up by developers is not being maintained and is starting to rust under the shiny surface. But you can still enjoy this area because there is a geocache here to find. You do not need to leave the path to get to this one and the location should be the most logical. You are looking for a 200ml Sistema container and there is a good hint if you need some assistance.

I traveled back home to SA from Perth for family reasons and decided that Melbourne is only a short hop from Adelaide, so I logged an attendance at the Parkville Mega event and headed over for 5 days in Melbourne. I hired an E bike and had it for 4 days so was able to get around to many places and grab lots of caches as well as biking from the Youth Hostel in North Melbourne to Parkeville which was only a short ride. I attended the event on Saturday and caught up with some west ozzies and we headed out and grabbed all the lab caches and when i had some spare time headed out to grab some GCA caches close by. I would like to find more of your caches but that will be another time. This was a very quick and easy find. Thanks for bringing me here and the cache Caughtatwork. ClappingClan Minotaur

I had dropped of a family member nearby at Merv Hughes Oval.

Took the time to pick up some smileys in the area.

This was the first.

I sat and waited for muggles to pass.

Signed the log and moved on.

An evening walk around Edgewater tonight, so what better than picking up a few GCA caches on the way. This one was quickly found. Cheers!

We are currently touring Victoria with our geovan in tow, using geocaching as a guide. We have visited many amazing locations through geocaching and your cache - Edgewater [Edgewater Walk] - was one we found along the way. Enjoyed this series of caches - the redevelopment of this area is beautiful. We were lucky enough to talk to a council worker who opened up Jack’s Magazine and gave us a peek inside and a history lesson of the site. Added bonus to finding the cache.

Many thanks Caughtatwork for publishing this cache for our enjoyment and adding to our geocaching experience. As always accurate co - ordinates led to a quick find. Cache and contents in excellent condition.

#GA2040 - 12:35; In Melbourne with the geohoney for a few days to visit the geoteen, who had lectures today, so we headed off to Maribyrnong as it had two things going for it, retail therapy and caching! This was the next stop in this series on a very pleasant walk around the walking track and the Edgewater Walk. On the approach to GZ, it became clear how the series got its name and I have to agree with the CO that the big sign needs a little TLC, but I guess the developers have collected the loot and it's now a council responsibility Rolling Eyes Anyway, the cache was well placed for retrieval away from the prying eyes of the muggles enjoying the facilities nearby and I was able to make quick work of this one.

Bored out of my gourd at home, I decided a decent walk was in order. Thankfully, the weather agreed, so I figured this new series of hides was a good incentive.

And so it was, a neat variety of hides, with not too many worries about muggles, and a fine late afternoon caching experience.

Thanks, C@W, for keeping me at least moderately fit and sane.

When we retired , over ten years ago we had thought that we had said goodbye forever to writing treatises as part of earning our living. Little did we know what dragon Zone had in store for us - who can ignore a challenge even though it involves writing copious words. Fortunately neither of us appears to have lost the knack.

We do hope however that occasionally some innocent geocacher will read one of our missives and may even find something useful. We know that our work related treatises were never read, some questions may have been asked if they had been read. Our masters dutifully ticked off that the required documents had been handed in, accountability met so book closed.

Our latest treatises may be occasionally read and enjoyed by fellow caching tragics - or may be we are just kidding ourselves. We did however have fun reaching this goal. Of course, having reached this goal we feel duty bound to maintain our word average.

With our latest trip to the big island coming rapidly to an end we had a few loose ends to tie off - the ten caches making up the Edgewater Walk Series was one of these - apologies caught@work we really dont expect you to read them all.

We set off early this morning to find these. It was blowing a gale and walking into the wind was hard work. We could see that this would be a lovely area to walk on balmy evenings and cool summer mornings. Even with the unpleasant conditions there were plenty of dog walking muggles, running and riding muggles and a few power walking muggles using the tracks.

Accurate coordinates and excellent hints lead to quick finds of all the caches. These were well hidden but in your face as usual. All containers and contents were in excellent condition. We do love caught@work caches - rarely a micro or nano in sight.

Thanks caught@work for this cache and for this great little series

A pleasant spot to sit and grab the cache, which was soon logged and replaced. From there it was over to water where the ducks were soon heading to as well. Doesn't look like they get feed by the folk passing by........much !!!!!

We dragged ourselves away and were soon walking towards the last couple in the series

Neat spot, thanks for including it as a GZ. Very HappyVery Happy

I saw these caches published but have been too busy to get out for a look. Today I finished all the important stuff early so headed out for a walk. Looking at the map, I was intrigued with the circular walk and I wasn't disappointed. It's a really nice place to spend time.
There were a few muggles around but I was able to sit and extract the cache without drawing attention. I signed the nice clean log book and moved on.
Thanks caughtatwork for this very nice series of caches. I would have never know about this nice little walk otherwise.
(I found the lot but I'll log the rest later tonight when I have time.)
