This cache, a 1L screw top plastic canister, is located
approximately 25km North from the township of Kimba, through
farming land and past the Pilepudla Dam. From here it is
approximately 2km on dirt track that is accessible by most
vehicles, if my station wagon can do it, most cars can. You will
need to drive to the following co-ordinates which are the start of
a walking trail;
S - 32° 56.328’
E - 136° 24.459’
Please follow the yellow painted trail markers to the cache, so as
not to damage the environment. This is 2.6km walk in total, it will
take approximately one hour, passing up one valley between two
hills to the “Botenella Native Well”. A rock-hole is
also passed on the way that was used in the early days as a water
source for travellers from the station country in the north,
travelling to the to township of Cowell on the eastern Eyre
Peninsula. Along the way there are several opportunities to take
some wonderful scenic photos of the area. The terrain is rough and
hilly, but if my wife can do it, I would imagine that anyone can if
you have a basic level of fitness. Please wear appropriate footwear
as the ants, prickles and snakes may be a problem. Mostly the ants
and prickles. It is advised that each person takes a bottle of
water as well, especially on hot days, as there is no water
available along the trail.
REMEMBER: BE PREPARED, WALK SAFELY
• Wear a hat, sturdy footwear and protective clothing
• Never walk alone
• Carry ample water, 1 litre per person per hour.
Contents include, log book and pencil, pen, fridge magnet, thong
key ring, fortune teller toy.

Certainly not done in a few minutes, this fantastic walk has its ups and downs and great views from the cache as well. Took about an hour to complete. Great stuff. And a FTF as well.
Took - fridge magnet
Left - pocket board game.
