Goodbye BOO-mer The Ghost Travel Tag, it’s time to let you have new adventures. Very hard to pass on TBs in Australia and this cache gives you the best chance of heading somewhere new. I’ve dropped you off inside the Melbourne Town Hall where we were on a tour as part of a Geocaching. It’s very hot in Victoria today and it’s been classified as a day of catastrophic fire danger due to strong northerly winds. I’m hoping everyone and all the animals stay safe but there is enormous potential for any fires to get out of control. Sometimes the lucky country is not so lucky. Stay cool. 🔥

We are taking advantage of a dip in the temperature to head to Geelong, Victoria’s second city and the home of my Australian Rules Football team, The Geelong Cats. During the 1850s Victorian gold rush, Geelong experienced a boom as the main port to the goldfields of central Victoria. The town then diversified into manufacturing, and during the 1860s became one of the largest manufacturing centres in Australia with its wool mills, ropeworks, and paper mills. 😺

Ohhhh, it’s a hot one today. Melbourne hit 42C. Luckily I didn’t have to travel far to get to the State Library of Victoria for this event. I took you straight back to the aircon in my apartment so you wouldn’t melt. Melbourne was very quiet, all the locals stayed indoors and only the tourists and geocachers were wandering around. 🥵

You have moved to another new house. I’ve rented a furnished apartment on the 30th floor of a building in Southbank in the city. I’m sure my mother is happy to have her house back to herself and I’m happy to be independent and in a central area. To celebrate, we headed to the beach nearby at Port Melbourne. Lots of people enjoying the warm weather before the coming heat wave. 🏖️

And back to the You-Yangs for another of the wonderful Wherigos there. Contrary to popular belief, the You Yangs are not the remains of a volcano. They are an inselberg or monadnock, and the granite that forms them was originally a mass of magma that had worked its way up into the surrounding sedimentary rocks during the Devonian period, when the land surface in Victoria was several kilometres higher than today. Not so many kangaroos this visit but the last people to find this cache found a snake. 🐍

Happy New Year 2026! We were back on the Werribee River for some more paddling caches today. Monk3bashe3r and I put in near the Werribee Open Range Zoo and paddled to the sea at Port Phillip Bay. In 2024, Werribee Open Range Zoo expanded with the development of a state-of-the-art, 210,000m2 habitat designed for Asian elephants and the elephants at Melbourne Zoo were moved in 2025. It must have been a bit of a shock for them after their old small enclosure. 🐘

I was chasing SideTracked caches and a Wherigo today so we took the train and a bus to Whittlesea, 40km north of Melbourne. It was the site of a Victorian Mega recently so has quite a lot of caches in the bush around it. Failed on both Wherigos though so pretty annoying. Then it was back into Melbourne to watch the fireworks for New Year’s Eve. 🎆

With Christmas over and no more house hunting required, we could return to what’s really important - Geocaching! Took the train to Hurstbridge which is still technically in Melbourne but it looks like it’s in the country. The area was named after Henry Hurst who was fatally wounded by a bushranger, Robert Bourke. For many years the area was characterised by orchards and nurseries, and in 1912 a railway line was extended to Hurstbridge to transport fruit to Melbourne. As a result of this rail connection, people settled in the area. The most famous residents are the champion motor racing driver Peter Brock, who died in 2006, who lived here all his life, and the modernist artist Albert Tucker (d 1999). 🍎

Merry Christmas! We had a chilly Christmas Day, only 19C. I took you to the inner Melbourne suburb of Carlton to see my friends for a Boxing Day lunch. I just bought a house nearby so I was excited to back - it’s close to where I went to University. Carlton was founded in 1851 at the beginning of the Victorian gold rush. The suburb was named after Carlton House, the Westminster residence of King George IV. Little Italy, also sometimes referred to as the "Italian Precinct" or simply "Lygon Street", is a cultural precinct centred around Lygon Street in Carlton. It is home to a large concentration of Italian restaurants, and is the birthplace of Melbourne's café culture and Australia’s obsession with coffee. 🎄
