The Galah, Eolophus roseicapillus, is also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo or Galah Cockatoo. It is one of the most common and widespread cockatoos, and it can be found in open country in almost all parts of mainland Australia. It is endemic in Australia (including Tasmania), where its distinctive pink and grey plumage and its bold and loud behaviour make it a familiar sight in The Bush and increasingly in urban areas. It appears to have benefited from the change in the landscape since European colonization and may be replacing the rare Major Mitchell's Cockatoo in parts of its range. The term galah is derived from gilaa, a word found in Yuwaalaraay and neighbouring Aboriginal languages (source: wikipedia).

This cache is located near the largest galah sighted in Australia scientifically called Giganticus Cockyus (wifes idea), locally known as the Big Galah.

Cache is a camouflaged (maybe too well) container with log and pencils only.

Great bit of camo. As we examined the container we came to realise that it had all been manufactured, so we were even more impressed . We left one of my new pathtags.
