Willow Springs is the site of an old timber mill. There's not
much left of it, but there is a campsite and picnic spot, and
nearby is a "Eucalypt Walk" with a wide variety of specimen trees
identified with name posts. We started from a little picnic site at
S34° 02.791 E115° 55.667, which is a short distance from the main
campsite. There's also some old-growth forest here, with some
impressive karri trees (which don't help the GPS) and the usual
forest wildlife (nissan reports having seen a seven-foot dugite in
the area, so please take care).
While dogs aren't specifically forbidden in this area as far as
I can tell, the area is subject to 1080 poison baiting, and if your
dog eats a bait then its chances are not good.
The cache itself is a small ammo can which has been painted
yellow. Its original contents: 4 small plastic boxes, a bouncy
ball, a pair of pliers, 2 g-clamps, 3 screwdrivers, a keyring, a
small padlock, a roller-stamp, and a log book, pen, pencil, rubber
and sharpener.
