The Bend Traditional Cache
Alansee: I checked on this one today and it has indeed gone. Time for it to go - 6 1/2 years is not too bad.

This cache is in an area of Melbourne's History along the Yarra River.
As the signboard at the entrance to this bend tells us, Mark Sill (1818 – 1885) planted an orchard here in the 1850's, and quite a number of introduced plantings still remain, including several ancient pear trees. The orchard was ultimately unsuccessful.
The area was also used for a swimming club in the early 1900's, and easy river access is still found at the far end of the bend.
The cache is hidden in a geocaching manner which will be slightly familiar to some cachers.
It will be in your interest to note the suggested Parking area, accessible from the western side of the river.
