Geocache Description:


Located under the Melbourne - Sydney - Brisbane rali line, the rail line reached Benalla on July 25 1873, branch line's were built to Tattong and Oaklands, the line to Oakland still operates with seasonal grain train, a second standard guage line was built along side the original broad guage line commencing Nov 4 1957 and the first through train ran on 2 Jan 1961, between Nov 2008 and Mar 2010 the former broad guage line was converted to standard guage presumably to allow a more efficent running of train's (this is somewhat questonable).

You do not have to go onto the track's to claim the cache and be aware that train's can run through anytime and some of the freight trains travel through at track speed (100 km/h).

Suggested parking would be at the end of Kent Street

The cache is como'ed with ballast and is a "long Film canister" type thing, please place it back as found and the area will be busy at school time's.

Happy hunting.
