Geocache Description:

Bennetts Lane was named after Robert Bennett. He was the Mayor of Melbourne between 1861 -1862 and is also the great, great grandfather of the current Mayor Robert Doyle.

But perhaps it should be named King Lane, after King O'Malley, an early Australian politician who was the landlord of the building at the end of the lane, which is now a music venue.


King O'Malley was a visible figure in Australian public life during the early years of Federation. He is particularly remembered for his role in the establishment of a central bank for Australia and in the selection of Canberra as the national capital.

O'Malley's other legacy was for the taking of the "U" out of the Australian Labour Party.

He changed the spelling to "Labor" in the Australian Labor Party's title in an American style. He was a spelling reform enthusiast and persuaded the party that "Labor" was a more "modern" spelling than "Labour". Although the American spelling has still not become established in Australia, the Labor Party has preserved the spelling.

At the end of the lane, the jazz club has been host to a number of world famous performers including Prince, Maceo Parker, Kenny Kirkland, Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Harry Connick Jnr., Paul Grabowsky, Joe Chindamo and Leroy Jones to name just a few.

The cache container is a plastic tube able to hold small swaps and trackables. It should contain a pencil. Please take care retrieving and replacing the cache. Enjoy!!
