Geocache Description:

The 8th in iamapom's "Melbourne's Lanes" series - highlighting all the cool, weird, and funky backstreets that Melbourne is so well known for.

This cache was placed on the way home on a Friday evening when one was feeling, as the Irish would say, a little "full". You get the picture. So, in the red wine haze of the evening, this cache could be pretty much anywhere - but I seem to recall something about Athenaeum Place - that runs from Little Collins St, to the back of the Athenaeum Theatre.

In February 1894, Inspector of Nuisances at the City of Melbourne Richard Bullons was called to investigate a litter matter in this lane. According to Bullons, employees and boarders of the nearby Victoria Coffee Palace were 'in the habit of throwing down from the windows and platform of the building filth of every description which falls onto the closets and urinals [situated] in north-east corner of the Town Hall'.

This find should be quick and easy - it's a magnetic key holder in a really obvious place at the entrance to the laneway.
