As per Wikipedia,
Ascot Vale railway station is a commuter railway station on the Craigieburn line, which is part of the Melbourne railway network. It serves the northern suburb of Ascot Vale, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Ascot Vale station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 1 November 1860, with the current station provided in 1871. It initially closed on 1 July 1864, then reopened on 9 October 1871.
History:
Ascot Vale station opened on 1 November 1860, just over a week after the railway line to Essendon opened as part of the private Melbourne and Essendon Railway Company. The station closed with the line on 1 July 1864, but was reopened on 9 October 1871, under government ownership.[5] Like the suburb itself, the station was named after Ascot Racecourse in England, given its proximity to Flemington Racecourse.
In 1882, a temporary station building was provided, after duplication of the line, with the present building on Platform 1 dating from 1889. A signal box was provided in the same year, but was closed with the abolition of mechanical signalling in 1918
The cache:
It's hidden as per the hint and has high visibility to foot traffic from the station. Care to return the cache and camouflage will be much appreciated.
I would recommend that you use public transport to arrive at gz and be a sustainable geocacher
