FED UP Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

ruralslicker: Thanks for the good times Geocaching community. Despite almost reaching the magic 1000 finds after nine years, it's sadly time to archive this cache (and myself from the Geocaching world) due to various reasons, mainly that with ongoing retirement I have a variety of new interests that take up most of my time. Thank you to everyone who logged my various caches over the years.

Geocache Description:


This multi-cache will take you on a visit to the campus of Federation University Gippsland (a collaboration effective from 2014 between the University of Ballarat and Monash University) in Churchill. During semester times, please be aware that muggles abound at certain times. The small bison camoed cache container has just enough space for a log, so you will need to bring your own pen. Please replace the container firmly.Because of University security, this cache should only be attempted during daylight hours - preferably between 8am and 6pm.
