Geocache Description:

The [SL] series is a trail of geocaches following the abandoned Maldon - Shelbourne railway. These caches are centred around the hobby of Railway Archeology, which involves tracing the remains of abandoned railway lines. I recommend beginning the series at Maldon. For a full history of the line see the geocache page for GC5MWN5 [SL] - Shelbourne Station or GC6X3P9 [SL] - Laanecoorie Junction.

From the junction with the Maldon line the railway passed over a small timber bridge (now removed) and entered an area of bush, which is where this cache is situated. This cache is best accessed either from one of the bush tracks at the first waypoint of [SL] - Laanecoorie Junction or by walking along the trail from [SL] - Burnt Bridge. 

Please note that you will need tweezers or a similar tool to extract the log book from the cache container. When replacing the cache container, please ensure it's under one of the plastic straps to prevent it falling out of place in wild weather.

The cache is located a short distance off the trail. Please be wary of local wildlife especially snakes spiders etc. There are also quite a few prickle bushes in the area so make sure you steer clear of those. 

Looking towards the junction from the trail near the cache.

Looking towards Shelbourne along the old railway near the cache.

This is the final placement for the series in the Maldon area - I was planning on placing this one with the rest of the series last year but I forgot to bring the cache container with me!

I hope you enjoy the cache!
