Geocache Description:


We have recently spent many months in Tasmania, and during our time there were able to indulge in our love of geo-caching. Among the wide variety of caches we completed, we enjoyed one series so much we have decided to use it as inspiration for our own walking path cache series. Our aim is for our series to provide the variety of hides and challenges the Tasmanian “Ulverstone to Turner’s Beach Pathway” series created by 2y’stassies gave us.
The “Eel Hole Creek” walking path was developed in 1998. The project grew from a concept developed jointly by the Churchill Citizens Association, Monash University, Kurnai College and the Mathison Park Committee. It was funded by the Department of Infrastructure and managed by the Latrobe City Council. The pathway starts at Lake Hyland on Mackey’s Rd, winds its way past the lake, through Mathison Park, past a number of local features including Kurnai College, the lake at Green Inc, the Leisure Centre and the Community Hub before entering a section of local bushland. The walking path finishes at a park and playground in Glendonald Estate.
This cache provides a view of the first public heated swimming pool in the Latrobe Shire. It opened in the early 1980’s and has undergone several major refurbishments since then. The most recent work done has resulted in a major upgrade and extension of the indoor playing courts (basketball, netball, badminton etc), giving Churchill a greatly improved facility.
Our children are 2 of the many thousands who have learnt to swim in this pool, and we have all had great enjoyment over the years in using a variety of the facilities.
The hide is a micro, Eclipse mint container. Bring your own writing instrument, and please do not leave any swaps. Swaps make it difficult to remove the log without damaging it.
