The very restrictive entry times (<15% of available time) plus the not so nominal entry fee (gold coin or similar is OK) are a deal breaker for me.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a small container hidden by a path in the grounds of Rippon Lea House and Gardens.

Located only 20 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, you will find the last of Australia’s grand suburban estates – with a pleasure garden of sweeping lawns, magnificent trees, a tranquil lake, unique fernery, and an orchard with over one hundred varieties of heritage apples and pears. National Heritage listed, a visit to this treasure takes you on a journey back in time and offers a unique glimpse into the lifestyles of the wealthiest Australians of the era.

Rippon Lea is by admission only- $7 for Adults, $5 for Concession and $3.50 for Children into the gardens.
Rippon Lea is open from 10am until 4pm Thursday through Sunday.

While there are many paths in the gardens of Rippon Lea, this cache is located next to a path less traveled by most visitors. No need to step into the heritage garden bed, this cache is visible from the path.
