Rosstown's sugar beet mill's location was on the railway route - Now it's location is in modern day suburban Neville Street Carnegie along the Rosstown Rail Trail - there is a plaque there indicating its location . Destined never to be used but always a dream . William Murray Ross built the never to be used Rosstown Railway first in 1883 and then had to be redone in 1887-8 due to the shoddiness of the original build. It was to carry produce from his other failed venture in the area the sugar beet mill.( the Northern Queensland Sugar cane industry would have probably ended it time anyway. ) There was a lot of concern from the market gardeners in the area that his mill would use all the water supply available in the area- (Lehmann's Swamp Reserve - now Koornang Park and the current swimming pool!) The railway would have been useful in today's age as it would have linked the Dandenong Line /go under the Frankston Line and eventually meet Sandringham Line at Elsternwick.
Now to the cache - you are looking for a 400ml sisterna container - room for swappables at a location worked out with the following numbers collected at the three Rosstown Railway caches (RR1 RR2 & RR3)- at the drinking fountains close to the caches. Please replace the cache as you find it. Joint FTF honours go to The Welder, n0w0rries and Archie B1 -
Numbers are represented as letters below
- RRS #1 = a b c d
- RRS #2 = e f g
- RRS#3 = h j
Cache is hidden at S 37 53.ABC E 145 02.DEF where
- A = f
- B = h - j
- C = c + d + e
- D = g+h+j
- E = c - d
- F = a+e
