Sill's Bend Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Alansee: I went and checked on this one today, and it was there - but only just. As per the previous log there has been flooding and the cache was in a bad way.

Time to archive it I am afraid.

Geocache Description:


This cache is in an area of Melbourne's History along the Yarra River.



As the signboard at the entrance to this bend tells us, Mark Sill (1818 – 1885) planted an orchard here in the 1850's, and quite a number of introduced plantings still remain, including several ancient pear trees. The orchard was ultimately unsuccessful. The area was also used for a swimming club in the early 1900's, and easy river access is still found at the far end of the bend.

The Cache:
The posted coordinates will take you to waypoint 1, where you need to find the coordinates for the cache. You will know when you have found them.

The cache is a 1 litre container painted to suit its surroundings, and should be easy to find.

It will be in your interest to note the suggested Parking area, accessable from the north side of the river.
