Geocache Description:

Located in a place where all the streets are named of poets past; the geology one of a kind, and the cache location that has a view of the neighbourhood and rolling hills.

The very unusual geology appears to be typical only to this region of Victoria. "A report from The Argus in 1923 gives rare insight to interest in the area. It had been recently accepted that "when the coastal plain is overweighted the back country rises" due to inexorable forces moulding the surface of the earth, and the so-called "Templestowe anticline" was studied as representative of microscopic faulting which accommodated this elevation of the eastern suburbs. It was observed that the new reserve grounds established along it would become a "Mecca" for geologist". (Wikipedia, 2011)

The cache is our first, and contains a Ben 10 toy & Log Book (Shell Australia)

Here's a riddle to enjoy - a geocacher comes to a fork in the road and doesn't know which way to go to reach his destination. There are two muggles at the fork, one of whom always tells the truth while the other always lies. The geocacher doesn't know which is which, though. He may ask one of the muggles only one question to find his way. Which muggle does he ask, and what is the question? (If approached from the North, this applies).

Well, either muggle should be asked the following question: "If I were to ask you if this is the way I should go, would you say yes?" While asking the question, the geocacher should be pointing at either of the directions going from the fork.

Watch for real muggles, and enjoy this cache (OzSeek)
