Freeway Under and Over Hallam, Victoria, Australia

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Cache has been out of action for over a year.
Time to archive?

Old Data! Obviously I didn't find it... but this is a great location...hope you replace it one day.

Muggled!

No sign of the cache.

I'll try and replace it sometime soon.

Found at 11.15am GAFF1. Yes a small portion of my taxes went into this impressive thoroughway, but I am very pleased with my "decision". The co-ords were spot on and it was a quick find. Thanks aussiecoder. Took: Dice, Left: Aussie pin.

Back in place in a new and improved water proof container.

Another dryout session is underway.

This time I will replace the container for a more water proof one.

Found this one without a problem after finishing . The cache was full of water so dried cleaned & replaced with lid well sealed. Future cachers will need pen as one in cache was ruined and I didn't have replacement on me. TNLN

Found 13:15, we're sure this one would have been a whole lot more picturesque at night.

TNLN, thanks aussiecoder.

wall here had us tricked for 5 min but quickly got the goods in hand.took small black toy and put in pencil set,enjoyed back streets and few motor bike muggles hanging around .thanks

Contents dried and returned to ground zero.

I may need to replace the container - I'll wait and see how it stands up over winter.

Removed the cache to dry out the contents.

It should be back in it's hidy hole by the end of the week.

Found at 6:30pm. Final of six on yet another late Sunday caching expedition. We had driven past here many times since this one was placed but finally made the divert to collect today. The cache was unfortunately completely filled with water and the log book may need a night in front of the heater as it is sodden.

Thanks Aussiecoder from D,S & A B-A.

10.30am
Found by Roma and Max.
Still very foggy but not much muggle traffic for us to avoid.
Took: Bear Key Ring.
Left: Mondo Figurine.
Thanks Aussiecoder,
from Romax.

A nice easy find in a park we have visited a number of times in the past.
The cache container was quite damp so we dried it out as best we could, the logbook was fine in its plastic bag.
Took: a very wet kangaroo.
Left: A Mr Bean teddy keyring and a "da bugs" bullant.
Thanks Aussiecoder, from Andrew "da big bug"

It was an early start this day so expected it to be quiet. It was except for all the dogs! TNLN
Thanks aussiecoder.

Found at 9:39 PM, the 43rd cache on our all day caching adventure.

An easy find as the cache was in the first place we looked.

The cache had 20 mm of water in it but the log and contents were still OK

We emptied the water, signed the log and packed the cache away.

Found at 2305. Looked around for a while, the lights look good at night. Found it easily enough. Took: Stickers. Left: Caribou.

After some tough finds recently, it was nice to have an easy find, to once again restore the kids faith in caching. This cache was such a find, in the company of muzza, and we were delighted to find it was full of swaps (although I can't remember what we swapped). The little park came in handy for the kids also Thanks again aussiecoder.

This place looked vaguely familiar as I headed out to GZ with Chookies after doing my 1000th cache just prior to this one. It turns out that I'd walked across the bridge before for another cache. Chick #1 had found the last cache, and Chick #2 was upset, so this one had to be her find.

The cache was found by the Rooster in the first place he looked, but was left for Chick #2, (with a lot of pointing in the right direction), to find. No swap was made.

It wasn't yet dark, but was around 20 minutes from sunset, so the lights were on, but we missed any effect that they had. I'll have to pay attention next time I drive by at night. Thanks for the cache.

Found during a bike ride in the area by Tony and John. It's wonderful what they've done with this area since the freeway's been completed. Parks and bike paths everywhere. No exchange made.

Found by Mary & David at 1400. A shock to have some rain after so long, but it was quite light and thoughtfully stopped at the critical moment. Cache found after a short search. Took crocodile clicker, left finger puppet. Our thanks to AussieCoder again.

Third for the day, on my quest to hit 300. Well what a contrast nice lake to noisy cars TNLN Thanks for bringing me to this place.
I missed out on the 300 by one, may be tomorrow

Found by sbalogh53 at 1645 on 2/5/2005.
Found after a short and easy search.
Took: Dinosaur
Put: Pink plastic mould

Found at 12:09hrs
Looks like Dak was here today too...
An easy find on a great day for a ride. This is now a pretty popular place for caches.. with 4 in the area.
Thanks Aussiecoder.

I have seen this bridge at night from below, and it looks good, however, at 1120 when I was there, it was just another freeway foot bridge. As is usual for me, I started looking on the wrong side, where there was evidence of fresh excavation, but found the cache shortly after when I tried a different tack. Thanks aussiecoder for the cache; now it's on to "Dash for Catch". I had three Travel Bugs with me, so they visited this cache on the way to Singapore.

IN: Tortoise
OUT: Bird

Found at 9.20PM

A nice easy cache for the night, the walk up is easy, but I do remember coming past this bridge for a cache nearby quite a while ago, Love the view from the bridge. Thanks from M.B and S.B-A..

Some spiders and roaches there but not to hard.

Found by caughtatwork at 11:56
Had to be out in Keysborough this morning so Gabrielle and I thought we'd drop in on this new cache along the way.
A nice easy find it was too. Much easier than finding a way in. Woof!
I looked in one spot and when Gabrielle saw what I was doing she walked a little way off and started there. She picked the right spot and was ever so pleased when she revelaed the cache.
Took frog, left packet of craft bear shapes.
Thanks aussiecoder. This is much easier than the 'other' freeway one.

Going out to do a slight adjustment to our Dash cache in Stawell we were passing by and although it wasn’t dark we couldn’t resist the chance of a first to find and we were successful. Living in the area, we have been here at night and agree that it is a good time of the day to visit.
Took Finger Puppet
Left Koala Keyring
Thanks Aussiecoder

Mr.Coffee went out for this cache this morning on a off chance that Crackers were out of town finding my Dash cache, Damm beaten to the FTF by a cracker.
Thanks Aussiecoder we had thought of this location in the past but never got to time to plan it.
Yes this is worth a look at night for the lighting.
Thanks again Aussiecoder, Regards Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan.

Looked at this one and found no logs, so off we went looking for another FTF, got there and DOOH!!!!! Team Crackers and Team Coffee had been before us. Took stickers left shapener. Thanks Aussiecoder
