Mister Doctor: As I need to move this cache and find a new hiding place I will have to archive it and start again.

Hopefully it will be back soon :)

View the ratings for GC7JR08

This cache was nominated in the 2018 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards (Best Traditional Cache).

“Ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road 
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye 
But me and my true love will never meet again 
On the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond”

- Robert Burns

With the railway grade separation works completed, a chasm now runs between Mitcham and Nunawading stations. Above this low road runs the high road walking and bike path. It is upon this route that you will find a cache (and also a good collection of street art).

Here's tae ye - hae a guid journey!

A new cache is born!
Two eclipse tins and a nano cache were muggled from increasingly trickier hides with the previous version of this cache (GC78F8D Ye’ll tak’ the High Road). As a result, I thought it best to archive the original and start again with a new location and hide.

BYO pen.

Note - it can be a little tricky getting a consistent GPS signal in this area. The clue will hopefully steer you in the right direction if your GPS puts you in the middle of the train tracks!

***CONGRATULATIONS to Splad_ on the FTF***
