Geocache Description:

This is my first ever cache hide so bear with me and I hope I've followed all the steps correctly.

A nice, relatively easy find in a scenic but not so well-known spot by the Yarra


This cache is accessible by car, bike, foot or even boat.

Just a short stroll or bicycle ride across Kanes Bridge from Studley Park Boathouse,  or a considerably longer drive from Heidelberg road, Yarra Bend Road loops around a bend in the river, encircling a sporting oval and a flat grassy area which was once Yarra Bend Lunatic Asylum - see the nearby cache of the same name for more info about its history.

The loop is one-way, travelling in a clockwise direction, and has a bit of a descent then a climb back up to the start of the loop where the road forks. It makes a mean criterium style bicycle track, and you'll often see big packs of lycra warriors going for it, or joggers huffing and puffing up the hill early in the morning. There were even some crazy dudes once from one of those 'bootcamp' style exercise programs pushing a VW Kombi up the hill while their coach sat in it yelling at them!

A bit lower down and away from the' fast and furious' action is a gentle walking path, part of the Dights Falls loop walk, with lots of picnic tables and river viewpoints. It makes for a very scenic and serene stroll along the river bank.

It is around here that you'll find the cache, suitably camouflaged. Be careful not to be spotted by passing dogwalkers, kayakers or people in rowboats hired from nearby Studley Park boat house. Please replace as you found it so that it's out of sight.
