Cardinia Reservoir Dam was built between 1970 and 1973 following the severe drought that hit Melbourne in the summer of 1967-68. Following the construction of the dam, significant money was also invested in landscaping the surrounds of the reservoir to create BBQ areas, playgrounds and walking tracks. This series of geocaches is designed to highlight this beautiful park for us all to enjoy.
Tribute to letterboxing
Letterbox Hybrids are based on an older kind of container search, called letterboxing. Because letterboxing began in 1854, before GPS existed, the finder follows written instructions to discover the container.
Each letterbox contains a logbook, and a rubber stamp. When letterboxers find the container, they stamp the logbook with their personal stamp, and stamp their own notebook with the stamp from the letterbox as a souvenir of their visit. The stamp and logbook remain in the letterbox for the next visitor to use.
Letterbox Hybrids - a geocache type
The geocaching version, Letterbox Hybrids, combines the use of GPS, and the stamps of letterboxing. This letterbox hybrid is at the posted location and contains a stamp for your own log book. Please do not remove the stamp, it is not a trade item.
