(MMM) South Melbourne Markers - Renovated Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Partic: Unfortunatly, I'm not In this part of town often anymore, so am archiving this cache to free the location up for anyone wanting to put out a replacement (as I've done now with a number of other caches in the area)

Thanks to all who did the cache during the past 5 years.
