The idea of our “catch up by the water” events is to explore different areas via geocaching. Whether it be a river, a lake, the ocean or a waterfall there is something special about being by water so let’s combine them together. Welcome to event #9 😊

Altona, is 13km south-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Altona takes its name from the then-independent German city of Altona which is today a borough of Hamburg.
A feature of the suburb is Altona Beach, which is one of only two swimming beaches in the western suburbs (the other being Williamstown Beach). The beach is also popular for kitesurfing.
Altona foreshore has been, and currently still, going through a redevelopment which included a new pier. It is a popular area to visit, especially during summer.
