Geocache Description:

This GeoArt has been created to celebrate 'The Alexandra Event 2017'. This will be Victoria's third MEGA event and will be run over two days (18 & 19 November). Attendees will be rewarded with many fun and interesting options, promising something for everyone – geocaching tutorials, daily activities, catching up with geo-friends, and of course, lots of local caching.


Alexandra is located in Victoria, Australia – within the Murrindindi Shire. It is a town that proudly features a number of preserved historical buildings, dating back to 1850. Alexandra is located near the Goulburn River and is surrounded by rich pastoral land, breathtaking mountain ranges and majestic waterways.

Take your time to look around Lake Eildon. Relax and enjoy the view, or experience the thrill of water sports like waterskiing, kayaking and wakeboarding. You'll find some of the best trout fishing Victoria has to offer in the nearby waterways. For breathtaking views, the striking Cathedral Range State Park offers invigorating hikes to the furrowed pinnacles, or for that adrenaline rush, the mountain offers some great rock climbing. Explore the Lake Eildon National Park, enjoy the wineries of the region, or for that family adventure, visit the Alexandra Timber Tramway and Museum or have a picnic in one of the many parks or reserves.

Rainbow Trout is a GeoArt series of caches with a range of puzzles – some easy, some quite hard.

The Cache is a one litre poly pipe with room for swaps and trackables. BYO pen. Please return the cache as you found it.

Don’t go to the listed co-ordinates, as it may be on private property, up a mountain range, or at the bottom of the Goulburn River, and the cache is not located there anyhow. Use the puzzle below to find the actual cache location.

The Puzzle –

Three words to find your cache?

I was out geocaching with a friend one day when she began to speak with great vagueness. I became concerned and remembered she had had some fainting recently and had been referred to a heart specialist. I asked her whether she’d had enough caching for the day.

She replied with honesty, saying she was also feeling a bit faint. We had a bit of a rest, a drink of water then headed back home. Luckily I was driving and we had been caching locally, so the trip back to her place was completed safely and quickly.

Less caches than we expected, but sometimes health comes before numbers!
