Geocache Description:

A nice, easy walk in the Nissitissit Wildlife Management Area.

I named this cache in honor of Dr. Peggy Rismiller's study of echidnas and goannas on Kangaroo Island, Australia - almost exactly on the opposite side of the world from here. Her website is at (visit link)

This cache is across the river from Dollar Store Special, and parking is at N42° 41.884', W071° 35.886'. It's easy to miss the entrance - no sign, just a dirt road.
The cache is an easy walk with only a little bushwhacking at the end. It's an ammo box, which I've started off with an assortment of toys and plastic bugs.

While you're here, make sure you walk down and enjoy the river. And if you like to fish, this is a catch-and-release fly fishing area.

Update: I've made this cache once again match the hint :-) - and given it another 1/2 star of difficulty because there's a little bushwhacking involved.
