This cache has been archived.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, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. 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. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

Down the old road

Braidwood lies in the upper valley of the Shoalhaven River some 660 metres above sea level and surrounded by mountain ranges.

The region around Braidwood was the traditional land of two aboriginal peoples - the Walbanga and the Wandandian - whose boundaries met near the junction of the Shoalhaven and Mongarlowe Rivers.

These indigenous peoples seem to have fared better than most in their contact with Europeans, many being employed by landholders or the government; indeed native trackers were greatly feared by the bushrangers of the 19th century.

Gold attracted bushrangers, the Clarke Brothers being the local variant, although Ben Hall and his gang paid a number of visits to attempt to intercept the gold coaches on their way to Goulburn and Sydney.+
