C&M Eltham Traditional Cache
6Hinemoa2: Sorry. Will have to be archived. There is no way I can 'muggle' proof it that I can see.
Will look around for another spot for the grand kids to have fun. Got to keep them interested in geo-caching!

Both Cooper and Michael want to hide another cache at their new home in Eltham. Cooper picked a spot quite near their library and is happy to look after it for me again. This cache is a simple find organised by Cooper by himself.
I am hoping that this the third time, will be lucky! The first time it was muggled. The second time heavy rain caused the creek to swell and it was washed away despite being secured under a large block of wood 4-5 feet above the water level. Both Cooper who is now 5 and Michael, nearly 3, hope you enjoy this one. Shillinglaw Cottage nearby, is a magnificent heritage building used as a cafe now. It was built in about 1859 by George Stebbing, a local pioneer builder who was responsible for a number of other important buildings in the area, including the Uniting Church and former CBA Bank built in 1880. This building is constructed from handmade bricks using an unusual design featuring burnt header bricks throughout the facade. It was originally built on the site of the shire offices but was relocated brick by brick to the present site in 1964/65. There are two large photographs hanging in the main dining room which show the cottage in 1964 on the original site. Unactivated path tag for FTF. BEWARE OF MUGGLES IN SCHOOL HOURS!
