The MESCo series of caches is based on the Geelong Tramways that operated from 1912 until 1956. A photo of a Geelong tram is present in all caches (either in the cache or log-book). The number of each of the trams should be noted as they will assist with finding the co-ordinates of a final mystery cache.
Good luck.
MESCo was the Melbourne Electricity Supply Company that was the supplier of domestic electricity in Geelong and was also responsible for the construction and operation of an electric tramway system in the Geelong CBD and surrounding suburbs. At its peak it utilised 31 trams and had eight routes. The total route mileage in its heyday was around 12 miles. There are a few remnants of the system visible in places but they are not easily found.
This series of caches will take you to the termini of all the lines. Caches vary from magnetic micros to traditional hides. Difficulty also varies mainly due to the suburban locations and the presence of muggles.
Cache details: MESCo # 7
This cache is near the terminus of the EASTERN PARK route (The terminus is a little further east at Humble St). The line was opened on 10/09/1930 and branched from the East line. The line was closed in the second phase of closures on 24/01/1956. The route serviced a small residential area and also the old Geelong Football ground before the cats moved to Kardinia Park. Prior to 1952 trams ran from here to the CITY but after 1952 proceeded to the CITY then NEWTOWN.
The picture shows tram * at the EASTERN PARK terminus.
The cache is a screw top plastic fruit container.
