The Doggies Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

RobWinmar: Given the area is now more difficult to access than it was when I placed it, with fencing preventing public entry outside of business hours, it might be time to archive it and allow someone to place another cache in the area, should they so desire. It's a shame, as I think it is a good spot! Thanks to everyone who found it and to BoatieTim for checking it out recently.

Geocache Description:

Micro cache hidden in the stand of the Whitten Oval

The Doggies


This is the home of the Footscray Football Club, which played its last game here in the 1990s. The last time I can remember coming here was St Kilda's final away game here in 1995. It's changed a lot since then, with the stands behind either goal and the far wing removed and the land largely levelled. If you ever attended a game here, please mention it in your log.

The ground is still used by the club, but also has training and function rooms and a new indoor facility. Take the time to visit the Ted Whitten statue outside if you can. Note that the cache is hidden in the red seating area and is easily accessible. Sometimes there is interference from the adjacent building.
