Expedition 5

This was my second expedition for the day, with the one prior being the first successful expedition in the Swan Hill graticule. After traveling four hours from Kerang Station to Footscray Station, I took then the train to North Melbourne Station, then to Pascoe Vale Station. I then crossed a bridge, walked down the trail along the creek, and found that the oval was being used at this time of day.

I decided not to approach, making this a failed expedition. I wasn't worried though, because I was still very happy with today's achievement.
