Description

Hidden near a junction on the Centenary Walking Track

Centenary Walk

 

One of Victoria’s best kept secrets is the spectacular canyon of Werribee Gorge. Thousands of people speed past this beautiful gorge every day while traveling along the Western Freeway between Melbourne and Ballarat.

The Werribee River has a cut a 300 metre deep ravine, recognized as one of Australia’s most significant geological sites because of the way the down-cutting river has revealed more than 500 million years of geological history. The gorge has been the domain of gold prospectors with its awesome cliffs and wonderful beaches. It has been a home for kangaroos, swamp wallabies, koalas echidnas and platypus.

This a camouflaged hide, and will probably be of more use to muggles than GPS equipped geocachers.

Please BYO pen/pencil.

There's been no apparent response to calls for a CO check of this one and in fact, the CO hasn't logged on to the GCA site for well over a year (11 November 2013). With 2 consecutive DNFs since its only find on 14 October 2012, maybe it's time to bid this one adieu. Crying or Very sad

Only one find since this one was placed almost 2 years ago and that find was over 19 months ago with 2 DNFs since then. Any chance of a CO check to confirm, or otherwise, the existence of this one?

The rest of the family were meeting friends for yum cha, but I needed a decent physical challenge for the weekend. One option was to attack another chunk of the Dandenong Meanders; a call from a friend needing help getting her latest furniture purchase to her home in the western suburbs highlighted another possibility: Werribee Gorge.

If I'm right about what the blazes I was supposed to be looking for, it's most likely gone walkabout, as underradar noted. The only DNF of the day's hike.

This one needs checking, the likely space is empty...

There's an obvious place in the indicated place but nothing in place inside it... I think this one has gone missing. Found several other rather imaginative hides on the walk and it is a great area. Thanks.

Having FTF another Act of Gord nearby, could I strike it lucky again? Heading up the path, thankfully well marked on the GPS map so no trouble finding the right way, I soon reached GZ and lost the couple of muggle walkers who were just behind me part of the way. After checking out a couple of usual hiding places without lucky I checked the hint and had an idea. Sure enough, the cheeky cache was uncovered and yay! another FTF Smile I stamped and dated the pristine log sheet, but left the FTF pathtag prize having added this one to my collection from the previous Act of Gord FTF cache so the next finder might have the opportunity to add it to their own. TFTC and for bringing me to this place g_ordo Smile

Another shiny prize for the FTF, enjoy.

Cheers Gordo
