Geocache Description:


This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath-taking view. It's a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too. More Information can be found at the SideTracked Website.


Blackburn Station (2017)


Blackburn Station (1882)


Blackburn Lake Park Postcard (1900)

Blackburn Railway Station is located on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines in Victoria, Australia. The station opened on 25 December 1882. In the late 1890s, services terminating at Blackburn were introduced, due to the large numbers of travellers visiting Blackburn Lake Sanctuary. As part of Level Crossing removal works, the station was upgraded to its current form in 2017.

Cache information

With a difficulty rating of 3.0, this cache is perhaps my most devious to date 😈. Although not essential, a magnet will greatly aid its discovery and retrieval to pull from above. Alternatively, you can push from beneath, no magnet required.
