And back in Melbourne once again. I took you to the eastern suburb of North Balwyn today. I spent my tennage years here and my aunt still lives there. Now it’s an an are of super-sized faux French chateaux with giraffe compliant entrance ways. Came back via iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground so you could see that. I hope the Mighty Catters will be there in September. 🏟️

A special treat was in store for you on the trip back to Melbourne. We stopped in Glenrowan for a unique tourist attraction. Kellyworld is a museum dedicated to the infamous bushranger, police killer, and folk hero Ned Kelly (and his gang). Ned is known for wearing a suit of bulletproof armour during his final shootout with the police at Glenrowan. Kellyland features “an animatronic show which brings to life the last stand of Ned Kelly and his gang”. It’s so bad, it’s hilarious. Bill Bryson gives a great account of his visit here in his book ‘In a Sunburnt country”. 👮

What goes up, has to come down, and it was a steep and slippery walk back out. The rain has also brought the leeches out and I copped 17 itchy leech bites. Another learning lesson for geoson! We headed to the safety of our friends’ house at Mt Beauty. I was amused to see these two caches are only 16km apart. For you, it was really a 3- 4 hour walk out and then an hour drive. I imagine it’s a very tough bush bashing hike if you do the direct route. I’ve actually done it as a fantastic seven night ski tour via Falls Creek and Mt Loch - a fair bit longer than 16kms. 🪱

You’ve only just arrived in Melbourne but now you have driven back up the Hume halfway toward Canberra. The aim of this trip was to show geoson the difficult the Tom Kneen track up the North West Spur to the Melbourne University Mountaineering Club (MUMC) hut on Mt Feathertop. That was my club and now it’s son’s but he’s never done the hike and I didn’t want him to underestimate it.
Mt Feathertop (1922m) is the second highest mountain in Victoria but is one of the only mountains in the Australian alps that looks like a classic mountain. It is also known for its often dangerously icy slopes on which skiers and walkers have lost their footing with fatal results. Tom Kneen was a friend of Geoson’s grandparents. He died in an avalanche on the mountain.
The hike up was fine but the expected bad weather hit us just after he made it to the hut. Luckily for us, no one else was at the hut so we pitched our tent inside. Seriously wet and wild weather all night. I was glad to be cosy in the hut. 🛖

Back in Melbourne and time for yum cha with my friend. She dropped us off in the western suburb of Altona so I could find a Wherigo for my calendar and I also took you for a walk out onto the pier. Bit of a grey day but it’s always nice to be by the sea. 🥟

Hello Canadian Key, I collected you from ConnieandRick on our way home to Melbourne from the Canberra GeoBash Mega. Your map is too full of boring visit logs for it to download so I’ve got no idea where you’ve been and I’m not trolling though all those visits to work it out. One visit a day is enough. Come with me. 🇦🇺

The time has come to let you go on your next journey with a new cacher. Despite taking you to a Mega, I decided not to drop you off on the TB table with over 700 others, but drop you here where you can be picked up by a dear friend and geocacher who looks after the TBs in her care so well. So expect a lovely journey, she's taking you a long way and you'll have photos too. Goodbye and Enjoy!
