Smack bang in the center point of the long journey that is the Hume Freeway. This small GeoCache is a first hide for Team Paliadon.
M31, 31, Hume Highway, Hume Freeway, and the Hume: these are all but a few different names for the main supply route that allows vehicles to travel from the South to the North of the state of Victoria.
Heading north from Melbourne, the road passes through the hills of the Great Dividing Range, some of which is covered with box eucalypt forest but of which much is cleared for farmland, before levelling out near Seymour to cross flat, mostly cleared farming country to Wodonga and the Victoria-New South Wales border.
Victoria's landscape differs to that of the typical "true Australian Outback", but a dry summer can leave the ground parched. Mount Buffalo can be seen in the distance to the east as the highway comes down off the Warby Range near Glenrowan and a museum commemorating Ned Kelly is located nearby. At Wangaratta the highway passes close to the Rutherglen and Milawa wine-producing areas.
Continuing north to the Murray River, the south bank of which is the Victoria-New South Wales border, is crossed on the bypass of Albury-Wodonga.
Remember to take lots of break, "Drive to Arrive".
