Specific visit requirements:
Thanks for sharing this interesting location.
In 'town' for the night after dropping my daughter and her friend @ Rod Laver Arena for a concert. That left me with about 7 - 8 hours to explore the city, grabbing caches, waymarks and photos. Geocaching - always a great way to explore areas. It's amazing to see the country in the eyes of a Geocacher and finding things that you may never have discovered if not for them. Not a fan of all the traffic so it's great to be here after the rush hour has died away. Apologies for the poor photo quality - it was night-time.
Appreciate you highlighting this area and bringing me here.
