On the 8th of October, 2000, geocacher 'George' placed the first
geocache ever in Victoria, simply saying:
"The stash is located at Murchisen Gap. It has a difficulty
level of 2 and a terrain rating of 1, this stash is accessible by
car."
Since then, this cache has been found 159 times - But more
importantly,was the beginning of our amazing game/sport/hobby in
our beloved state, with now almost 5000 caches active in Victoria.
So what a better way to celebrate than to return to where it all
started for some simple celebrations!
The coordinates will take you to the Strath Creek picnic
ground. Join us from midday for a simple picnic/bbq. It'll be a BYO
affair, but as all anniversaries require cake, the Happy Chappies
will provide that for all 
Following a great time of food, friends (new and old) and
festivities, people are welcome to make the pilgrimage back to
Melbourne's 1st for the necessary photo and commemorations (We have
approval from the cache guardian and landowner for this
event).
This cache is a comfortable day trip from Melbourne, being only
1-2 hours drive (depending on where you're coming from). A public
barbecue is available (but only one, so be prepared to share your
sausage space!) and the council even kindly installed a brand new
plaground for us! There is also a small milk bar nearby for last
minute supplies if required. BYO: Food, drink, chairs/rugs, and
sense of humour and gravitas for this momentous day
The rough agenda for the day will be:
12ish - Arrival,lunch, etc.
1.30ish - Arrival of cache owner (George) and cutting of the
special 10th anniversary Geocaching cake!
2ish - Migration of the mob (in an orderly fashion of course!)
up to Melbourne's 1st for commemoration of the event and group
photos.The road is unsealed and narrow, so please drive slowly
and cautiously, and park in a single file on the left-hand side
(ie. cache side) of the road)
A travel bug/geocoin box as well as sticky labels for name tags
will also be available, along with the obligatory log book. There
will be a few prizes handed out, so make sure you sign the log and
grab a nametag for yourself and each member of your team (Nametags
= raffle tickets!!)
