bogonghazy: Sadly my cache maintenance girl is not up to replacing this one, and I'm not sure when I'll be in the area next. Thanks Tom Swan, your legacy remains

Geocache Description:

Junction of Swans Rd Track & The Lerderderg Track on the Great Dividing Trail

This little hike begins at the end of Swan's Rd, Bacchus Marsh. Swan's road is named after Tom Swan, who in 1972, offered the Golf Club 110 acres (Approx 40 Hectares) of land with 2.5km of Lerderderg River frontage for the princely sum of $40,000. The golf club celebrated it's centenary in 2007, having changed locations approx 5 times, until finally owning land of their own. This may not have been the case except for Tom's generosity.

It's about a 1/2 hour return trip to your car, and there is sufficient parking for 2 or 3 cars.

When placed it contained: 3 superballs, fishing bells with glowsticks, fishing lure, 1 & 2 cent pieces, LED Britelite, & 4 Frictionless golf tees. I had to put something golf in!

Enjoy your walk, it starts fairly steep, but flattens off quickly enough. You may decide to check out Graham Dam or McKenzies Flat to cap off an easy find. I've re-checked the coordinates as Google Maps doesn't show the T intersection of the tracks. Trust your GPS!
