Geocache Description:

Melbourne International Gateway, is an imposing structure that  greets many as they enter Melbourne along the motorlink into the CBD.  It consists of 39 red sticks lining the freeway with an even larger, 70 metre, yellow pole tilted over the traffic.  The cache is not accessible from the freeway, at no stage will you need to be on the freeway.


A short distance from the yellow pole we have sited this cache, well off the freeway and outside of the sound barriers in a relatively secluded area. Locally referred to as "the cheesestick and ribcage", the structure represents a modern take on the age old city gate. It gives visitors the impression of arriving into a dynamic and modern Melbourne. It was designed by Denton Corker Marshall and completed in 1999. The cache is located in a corner of Kings Park, near drainage lagoons which are designed to attract native water birds to the area and is surrounded by a walking track. The best direction to approach the cache site is from the end of Manningham street, where there is also street car parking. You will need a special tool, although the hint will go someway as to explain this. Please restore the cache to its original condition, so that the next person can log a find. A pencil is supplied. Good luck finding two bananas?!
