“Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and wisdom.”
― M. Scott Peck
The Journey
The reservation for the Healesville Freeway was incorporated into the Metropolitan Transport Plan in 1969 and originally extended from Riversdale Road, Box Hill South, to Maroondah Highway, Coldstream. Sections of the reservation at both ends of the route have since been released. Only recently has this section between Springvale Road in Forest Hill and Boronia Road in Vermont been formally transferred from VicRoads to Parks Victoria with the view to renaming it as community parkland. You can follow the progress on the Victorian Government website.
There is something unexpected and appealing about wandering along this narrow, hidden track through the suburbs. The idea of choosing "the road less traveled" seems to typify the geocaching experience, and the themes of each cache in this series draw their inspiration from M. Scott Peck’s best selling book of the same name, which outlines the steps towards a personal journey of discovery.
If you complete all 5 caches together on foot, you will have covered approximately 2.6 km by the time you return to the starting point.
The Cache
Perhaps your courage has already been tested at the D4.5 tree climb nearby, perhaps not.
Be sure to take note of the code inside the lid. You will need it to solve the coordinates for the final.
You are looking for a 200mL sistema. BYO pen.
