Geocache Description:

Updated June 2012 (and again June 2020, and again in December 2021) - A walkable tour of three Victoria brewpubs followed by a magnetic key box attached to rail, with a great view of the harbour. This multicache should be walkable in around an hour … unless of course you stop along the way! You don’t need to enter any of the brewpubs, but it’s less fun that way.

===============================================

June 2010 Update – Very sadly, Hugos, the first brewpub on the tour (and the location given for the start of the multicahce) has shut down and the parking meters outside have been replaced. The five digit number you would have found here ABCDE is 39610 ... now go straight to the second pub of the tour.

===============================================

New start is at N48 25.7DA W123 22.D4B. The brewery and the pub here used to have different names. Subtract the number of letters in the one word name of the pub from the number of letters in the one word old name of the brewery. Call this F. Now head to N48 25.FFB W123 22.2CE (a 5 minute walk, or thereabouts). Excluding the glass door (but including the panel next to it), how many glass panels surround the patio on the west side of the pub. Divide by two and call this G [due to construction here, you need to know G=5, I'll update once construvction is done]. Now head to N48 25.FGA W123 23.DEE (a 20 minute walk, or thereabouts). Cross the south side of the new bridge and follow the Westsong Walkway. What day in June 1984 was this gastro brewpub established? Call this two digit number HI. You're now on your way to the cache, go to 48 25.IBH 123 23.EGI for a well-earned rest and what should be an easy find (no more than a 2 minute walk, or thereabouts).

Take a seat and enjoy the view.

===============================================

June 2020 Update - Cache is no longer in the bush. As you sit on the bench, the magnetic key box is to your right, at the end.

===============================================

The walk back to the start point, if you need a round trip, should take about 30 minutes.
