Aussie Train Driver's 83rd geocache is located at Sanatorium Lake. In the 19th century, the cool climate of the Macedon region was thought to provide a perfect environment for patients suffering tuberculosis. In 1899 a sanatorium was opened a short distance down the Mount from this location in a building previously used as a private hospital. The lake was later built to supply water to a new, larger sanatorium which due to opposition and lack of funding was never built. The original sanatorium closed in 1910 and was later destroyed by fire.
There are a number of walking and cycling tracks in this area and the cache can be accessed from both the Days and Sanatorium Picnic Grounds via the Sanatorium Lake Eco Tourism Trail. If you have time I would recommend doing this trail in full. There are many natural features to see along the way. The walk is about 2.5km and passes through several vegetation types, including tall eucalypt forests and a wet fern gully.
Please note swimming is not permitted in the lake.
