Alexandra is located in Victoria, Australia – within the Murrindindi Shire. It is a town that proudly features a number of preserved historical buildings, dating back to 1850. Alexandra is located near the Goulburn River and is surrounded by rich pastoral land, breathtaking mountain ranges and majestic waterways.
Take your time to look around Lake Eildon. Relax and enjoy the view, or experience the thrill of water sports like waterskiing, kayaking and wakeboarding. You'll find some of the best trout fishing Victoria has to offer in the nearby waterways. For breathtaking views, the striking Cathedral Range State Park offers invigorating hikes to the furrowed pinnacles, or for that adrenaline rush, the mountain offers some great rock climbing. Explore the Lake Eildon National Park, enjoy the wineries of the region, or for that family adventure, visit the Alexandra Timber Tramway and Museum or have a picnic in one of the many parks or reserves.
Rainbow Trout is a GeoArt series of caches with a range of puzzles – some easy, some quite hard.
The Cache is a one litre poly pipe with room for swaps and trackables. BYO pen. Please return the cache as you found it.
Don’t go to the listed co-ordinates, as it may be on private property, up a mountain range, or at the bottom of the Goulburn River, and the cache is not located there anyhow. Use the puzzle below to find the actual cache location.
The Puzzle –
Fungi (or fun Guy?)
Every year during late Autumn and Winter many geocachers have photographed and posted photos of fungi they see in the bush whilst out geocaching. No matter how you pronounce the word, they are amazing, beautiful growths that fall into neither the animal nor the plant families. They have a family of their own.
Fungi perform a vital role in the healthy balance of any ecosystem. They come in an amazing range of shapes, colours, texture and size. Here are some photos I’ve taken while caching over the last few years:
Perhaps you’d like to add a photo you’ve taken of fungi you’ve encountered while geocaching in your log. Can you identify any of these?
