Geocache Description:


After a long wait, this Cache has finally been hidden, and is for the purpose of replacing one of our previous caches ( From Rags to Riches) which sadly was not properly re-hidden, & was stolen. Hence this cache, located not far from its predecessor, is essentially "Version 2".

This cache is meant to be Hard, a Difficulty of 4. Once finished, Please re-hide this cache Carefully & Properly. Do not make it Easier for others to find. Please take the time to exercise the proper level of Integrity required. Your co-operation is appreciated, so that this cache will remain for many to come after you. Thankyou in anticipation. All the best from everyone at team Chookies.

NOTE 1: Please DO NOT give away the cache location through Suggestive Logs. Such logs WILL be removed
NOTE 2: Please Take Extra Care NOT to crush, trample, or break the plant life. There is NO reason to destroy the area
NOTE 3: There are 2 approaches to this cache. The Southerly approach requires a short walk (approx. 20 metres) across some uneven large rocks -Fun, and usually quicker, but slightly more challenging! The Northern approach is grassy.

Some time ago, Melbourne Water began handing over large portions of its land, usually swampy or flood prone, to “Developers” who then developed the waterways into feature parks & lakes, as well as the surrounding land into house blocks. The developers were then able to sell the housing land, keeping the profit, whilst the waterways/park areas were after the set period of time handed back to Melbourne Water. The Waterways/Drains/Lakes become far more aesthetically pleasing, and manage the water more efficiently both by way of flow management, as well as natural bacterial treatment of impurities, resulting in better quality water at the other end (downstream). Such bacterial treatment is far more effective and important than most of us realize.

The new residents receive nicer parks, & some even receive lake views, whilst the developer gets to sell the house land at Super inflated prices -$$$$$. Berwick Springs is one such estate, where you will find some very satisfied residents, (along with a few that have had “a little nose lift” -Ha Ha, Hee Hee).

The Cache is approx 1.5 litres. Remember to trade evenly & fairly.
Original Contents: 2 pair of New Slip lock pliers, , Super Ball, New Stopwatch, 2006 diary, Bottle of bubbles, Several Toy animals, Fairy statue, Water Pistol, Glue stick, Inflating needle, etc & LOG book
