Geocache Description:


This cache is the final cache of the HMPP series which highlights the history and development at Pentridge, known previously as H.M. Prison Pentridge, and is now identified as Penal Establishment Pentridge. Caches in this HMPP series are:

  • HMPP – H.M. Prison Pentridge   (GCAHRT9),
  • HMPP – Separate and Silent       (GCAHNKT),
  • HMPP – Industry and Education       (GCAHNDV),
  • HMPP – Guards watching    (GCAHNDV),
  • The series also includes the H.M. Prison Pentridge Ad Lab.

In 2023 the Pentridge site opened as a tourist attraction following development as a commercial retail and residential site or a place to ‘work, live and play’ according to the developers.
