Geocache Description:


Stony Creek is located in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It runs through the suburbs of St Albans, Albion, Sunshine, Braybrook, Tottenham, Brooklyn, Kingsville and Yarraville.

As of 2011 in its upper reaches Stony Creek's environmental state is very poor; it is best characterised as a concrete stormwater drain for these sections of its course. Through most of Sunshine it has been directed underground coming out at Matthews Hill Reserve. It then becomes a pleasantly treelined creek before passing through heavily industrialised areas.

Stony Creek joins the Yarra River under the Westgate Bridge at the Stony Creek Backwash where it is fringed with mangroves.

This series of cache covers the lower reachers of the Creek where it is a bit more picturesque.

The trail is best done by bike as parking is a bit tight at a few of the caches (and you see heaps more!)

The Cache

If you are riding this trail, the short cut to the next cache is along this fence.

If you have mini-cachers with you it might take a bit longer.

If you see some nice green bushes near GZ - Don't Touch!!!! They are probably nettles.
