Geocache Description:


Steele Creek is a small tributary that runs from the Airport into the Maribyrnong River just near this Night Cache.
There is a bike trail along it, but it is mainly still in construction.

Due to the sewerage work being done around this area, you will need to park in Warrick Court and not at the start of the Cache. (see parking co-ordinates)
After parking you will need to walk (or ride) to the start, on the other end of the old car park.
Your cache starts here.

Follow the fire tacks and answer the questions as you follow the trails.

1. The Start.
Two signs are here:
MVP Gate No.AB
MRT CDE
Onward along the path.

2. The Well.
Well, it says it is a well (if you read the fine print)
You need the number: FGH Nondo

About 25 meters past the well, take the small trail to your left.

3. The Bridge
This is where the Maribyrnong Trail crosses Steele Creek (I do believe there is a challenge here)
One sign: MRT JKL,
and how many wooden planks make up the bridge's deck? MN

Apart from the fact you have crossed the deck a few times counting, you do not have to cross the creek at this point.
From the side you came down there are three tracks, the one you came down, the Maribyrnong River Trail, and closer to the creek, a small trail - that is one you want. Follow the fire tacks.

4. The paths intersect
Just before the intersection, on the rise, you will be standing next to a large gum tree (with two fire tacks)
How many trunks in this gumtree? P

At the intersection turn right up the hill

5. Where am I - the sign.
To completely confuse you there is a sign with arrows pointing in all directions.
Unfortunately for you, there is not one pointing to the cache!

Canning Reserve Rkm
Warrick Ct S00m
Steele Creek Trail N00m
Canning Reserve R.Rkm
Riverside Park X.Tkm

Now some calculations (and get out that GPSr)
There is a seat nearby if you need to take off your shoes to count.

6. The Final
The cache can be found by projecting from the sign:
(H)(C-L)(N-M)(B+F) meters
(E-X)(P)(R) True or
(T)(L-A)(D-K) Magnetic

7. How do I get out of here - it's dark!
Just follow the sign to Warrick Court, that would be about S00meters away.
