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.
