Geocache Description:

All aboard from Kilmore East to stops far and wide. Bag an easy cache on the way to pass the time! Maximum stealth required at certain times of the day and night, requiring the 2 difficulty rating.

The station opened as Kilmore on April 18 1872, the railway having opened in the same year as part of the North East railway to Wodonga. Located two miles east of the town, the locality had been surveyed for a new town to be called Gavan Duffy but this did not eventuate.

It was a Staff station and Telegraph Block Post by 1879 and remained a block post after duplication in 1886. The opening of a branch line from Kilmore Junction to Kilmore in 1888 saw the station renamed Kilmore East, with the name Kilmore applied to a station closer to town on the new line.

A timber building was provided on the down platform in 1878 to replace four temporary structures. A temporary railway refreshment room operated at the station in 1873 until those at Seymour station were opened. The present station building dates to 1939. By 1878 a number of sidings for timber loading existed, and interlocking of signals was provided in 1899. A new lever frame was provided in 1914 when more sidings were added.

The quarry siding was opened 3 kilometres north of Kilmore East in 1976, but the majority of the other sidings were moved by the late 1980s.

Construction of a 7 kilometre long 'passing lane' on the parallel standard gauge line commenced in 2008, and was due for completion in February 2009. Part of the Australian Rail Track Corporation Melbourne - Sydney upgrade project, the extended passing loop runs from south of Kilmore East station north towards Broadford.

The cache is a black magnetic Eclipse tin, containing water-resistant log and pencil. Please be cautious when retreiving the cache ..... if you drop it, it's gone for good! Cache will only hold the smallest of TBs and GCs. Thanks to Kilmore Harper and Co for offering to service this cache as required.
