Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

This cache is stashed in a hard to get to location. A secret of the peninsula's history hides at he end of an overgrown track. small to medium swaps

In the mid 1800s Melbourne was growing rapidly, with the gold rush, it became the richest port in the British Empire.
To support this growth, lime was needed for mortar in the young town of Melbourne. Lime was discovered on the Nepean Peninsula and ships plied the bay with this valuable resource. By the mid 1840s there were 17 lime kilns on the peninsula, consuming many of the mature native trees which dotted a open grassy woodland. Current tea tree grew thickly in its place and provides some challenge to find this historical site.
Parking is available at the St.Andrews Rec Centre, leaves a 5 minute walk to a hidden secret of St.Andrews.
Final approach is difficult and requires scrambling over and under tea tree.
This is my first cache, hope you enjoy it
