Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
On some occasions, you may end up in the midst of a sporting match if you direct yourself there which would be generally undesirable in your pursuit of the hide.

If there's one thing that Victorians seem to love, it's a public holiday.

The year kicks off with New Year's Day before Australia Day rolls around later in the month then, all of a sudden, it's the second Monday in March and Labour Day arrives! Of course, we can't forget that December wraps up with Christmas Day, and Boxing Day straight afterwards. Late April's ANZAC Day is another example, as is the King's Birthday in June (the latter having recently undergone a snazzy rebrand).

But Victoria doesn't stop there! A three-minute horse race warrants a holiday in November, and a game of football gets one on the Friday before said game is even played. I'm pretty sure that just about covers all of them?

What are we Victorians to do with all this spare time? Many choose to get out and explore this holiday-abundant state of ours, visiting new areas and travelling in whatever direction they choose.

Ponder where you'll be heading off to when completing the puzzle below.

Your final answer will be a single word.
Entering it in the checker below will reveal the cache's whereabouts.
