A nice quiet out of the way spot.
13/10/09 Many thanks to Martiniz for adopting this cache. He has
gone to alot of trouble to make this cache enjoyable and worthwhile
to visit. It now has a new container and log book and added some
new trinkets and a cache note. He has also put in three photos
showing the place in 1878, 1895 and 1945 plus a sketch of Major
Mitchell with a short bio. Also the old log is in a zip lock
plastic bag in the bottom of the container. The Cache now has a new
location is not far from where the 1878 photo was taken. You will
now be looking for a 1 litre sistema container and that care should
be taken in ensuring the container is well covered to ensure that
it is not visible from all from all angles.
The new coordinates are:
S 037° 03.035’
E 144°
16.388’
The coordinates listed up the top are incorrect.

Dropped off Travelbug and went for a swim with the crew. About 20 people in for a swim and it's not even 30 degrees

What a wonderful spot!! I never even knew this place existed and will certainly be coming back here again for a swim.
My daughter located the cache on this one and was very happy with herself as she is usually my geo-badluck charm :)
Thanks so much for bringing us to this place. Fantastic!

With the agreement of the owner I moved the location of this cache today. It has been getting quite a lot of unwanted attention and was in a bad way. In fact it appears to have been muggled since I visited it last Sunday afternoon. The new location isn't too far from the old hide.I also replaced the container and added a new log and some photos showing the place in 1878, 1895 and 1945. The new location is close to where the 1878 photograph was taken, so should provide an interesting then and now comparison. A well as this I replaced the cache items (all that was left in there were some toothpicks and a couple of bottle tops) I put in a set of ipod headphones (unused of course), an Indiana Jones action figure, a small toy car and a couple of plastic sea creatures, a dinsaour and a plastic snake. The photos are to stay with the cache and are not to be taken away. The new location is at:
S 037° 03.035’
E 144° 16.388’ The location is now away from paths and accidentally prying eyes but I would ask that, even though the new hide is not obvious, the container is well hidden from all angles. Happy Hunting, Martiniz
