Geocache Description:


Please don’t go to the listed co-ordinates of this cache,  they are inside private property,  and unlike the other one, which is at the end of the back straight where you could be hit by a fast moving V8 Supercar,  this one is on the horse race track,  so you could be knocked over by a fast moving horse.  Both would be very serious to your health.

 

Sandown Racecourse, is a Thoroughbred horse racing race track administered by the Melbourne Racing Club in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Built for the Victoria Amateur Turf Club, it is the only metropolitan racecourse built in the 20th century and was opened before a crowd of 52,000, in June 1965.

 

Sandown Racecourse is situated 25 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD on the Princes Highway in the suburb of Springvale in the City of Greater Dandenong.

 

The original course was a turfed oval shape, 1892 metres in circumference and 30 metres wide, with sweeping cambered turns and an uphill home straight of 407 metres.

 

With the increase in the number of overseas horses being attracted to the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival a Quarantine Centre was established at Sandown Racecourse and used for the first time in 1997.

 

In October 2001, the Melbourne Racing Club commenced the redevelopment of Sandown Racecourse. This consisted of an additional 30 metre wide home turn and widening of the main straight from 30 to 45 metres, and widening of the turn out of the straight from 30 to 45 metres. This created two turf tracks.

 

The Sandown Racecourse also features a motor racing circuit on the outside of the racecourse, referred to as Sandown Raceway.

 

 

I have included a picture of the hide, so once you have solved the puzzle on this page, it should be an easy find.,

 

 

The cache is a 200ml sistema,  hidden in a tree, within 3.2 kilometres of the listed co-ordinates, in any random direction
