Baiame Cave Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This is a multi cache that is certainly not very strenuous and should be quite quick to complete.

The actual cache is a regular sized container suitable for largish swaps and trackables.

Access is off the Putty Road at the waypoint depicted below. We leave a gold coin donation in the Honesty Box but that’s up to personal preference. Follow the dirt road to the co-ords listed above and parking can be sort near the cave just off the right hand side of the road.

The first people of the Singleton area were the aborigines of the Wanaruah tribal area – known as the people of the hills and plains. A culturally and environmentally rich group of people with access to extensive and bounteous provisions for sustaining life.

The Great Spirit of the Wanaruah was Baiame – who came from the rivers of dreaming. He created all things beautiful, the kangaroo, the wallaby, the emu, the goanna and all the animals of the valley. He created the bird, Eaglehawk as the protector of the land.

Baiame is depicted in red ochre in a cave painting at Milbrodale as a large figure with long outspread arms protectively embracing the tribal territory and people of the valley. He has no mouth as Baiame talks from the heart.

The descendants of Wanaruah indigenous people living in the area today are admired and respected for their resilience and fortitude following the enormous impacts of European settlement.

To find the cache location complete the following stages;

Stage 1
Once you are on the platform and have looked over what is on show (by all means take your time), turn around and step back down 8 steps, have a read and look under.

Stage 2
Look for the first log entry. Turn to the page of the two digit year number of this entry. Follow instructions to locate the cache.

Please be mindful to take heed of the signs at the cave. It is important that we respect the wishes of these people. Take care to make sure the cache is covered well to keep any muggles from being attracted.

Happy caching :)
