Geocache Description:

Team_Ninja's 25th cache is located in a nice strip of bush next to the Ballarat Railway line near Bacchus Marsh. It is the 4th cache in the 'Closed Railway Stations of Victoria' series.

Rowsley station is a closed railway station between Bacchus Marsh and Ballan. It was opened as a one platform station to serve the township of Rowsley, around 3km West of the station. Unfortunately all that remains of it today is a mound of dirt that can be seen about 150m west of the cache.

The cache is located next to the road in the strip of bush between the railway and the factories. Watch out for muggles working in the factory as well as ones driving on the road. Please ensure the cache is well hidden before departure. You might need someone tall with you to retrieve the cache.
Be on the lookout at all times for trains, as they do pass here at high speeds. Keep the geo-kiddies close.
If you have a camera, bring it along when you find the cache and if a train goes past get a photo of it and put it on here. If the train is coming from Bacchus Marsh you may notice about 2 minutes after it goes past that you see it again on the other side of the road. No, you're eyes are not playing tricks on you, the railway line is shaped like a horseshoe to allow the trains to climb up the hill on a fairly easy gradient. Be on the lookout for snakes as well.
Coords may be a tad dodgy as the cache is in a tree.
