While the adventuresome Geocacher will be in this area at Nighttime, would you please get a daytime photo with your visit.

When I was there in May, 2016 the sign at the property stated that the Wind Farm is:
* Owned by: Vision Super Pty Ltd
* Managed by: Assetco Management P/L
* Operated and Maintained by: Senvion Australia P/L
* Site Contact: 0447 698 887, or 0423 392 316
* General Enquiries: (03) 8660 6555

One of the photos, is a zoomed one, of the entry hatch to Wonthaggi Turbine Generator No. 1 (WTG No.1), and by scaling the size of the steps and railing, the hatch would be 2.2 metres tall, which really puts the height of the Tower into perspective. With a diameter at the base of 3.5 meters! The height of the Australian made towers mentioned on the Wikipedia article is 66 metres. (visit link)

ACCESS: Please note, the Turbines are on Private Property, but you will be parking right beside the entry point, if you head to "Handy in the Night" - (visit link) . Drive west along dirt Campbell Street, closing the gates behind you on the dirt track to Kilcunda Harmers Haven Coastal Reserve.

Address: Campbell Street, Wonthaggi, Victoria 3995
The above coordinates are for legitimate parking, for the Multi-Cache, and next the boundary of the Private Property controlled by Senvion Australia.
** The coordinates on the Wikipedia page are otherwise 'Out of Bounds'! **
