Geocache Description:

No it's not in Adelaide actually, but north-east of Melbourne

Mt Lofty is located near the Yarra river not far from Lilydale. This cache is hidden just down from the ridge, near the only large tree in the area. It's a low flat container with a yellow lid. If you approach from the east, expect about a 15 minute walk. From the west it's more like 30 minutes. Great views from here so bring your camera.

**UPDATE 26/9/2010** I visited this cache and couldn't find it. The bushes have grown up substantially in the last 9 years and there's no longer just one main tree in the area. Based on previous logs I believe it's gone. I've replanted the cache slightly further up the hill than before. It's still an "old school" cache hide. No fancy hiding techniques here! Views from this spot are still great and those who've already found are welcome to re-log.

**UPDATE 16/4/2016** Some over-zealous slashing means this went missing once again but I have replaced, slightly down the hill. Interestingly it's probably now more like the original hiding location, as the undergrowth is gone and there is again just one main tree in the area.
