This cache is located on the Dalby - Cecil Plains Road between the Condamine River crossing and Wanka Road.
The Condamine was named by Allan Cunningham in 1827 for T. De La Condamine, aide-de-camp to Governor Ralph Darling. Patrick Leslie was the first settler in the area. He established Canning Downs in 1840, near Warwick.
The Condamine River, part of the Murray-Darling Basin, drains the northern portion of the Darling Downs, an area of sub-coastal southern Queensland, Australia. It rises on Mount Superbus, South East Queensland's highest peak, on the inland side of the Great Dividing Range and although only about 100 km from the Queensland coast, the Condamine flows north, then west.
The river flows through the towns of Killarney and Warwick, while the tributary Gowrie Creek drains the slopes around Toowoomba.
About 50 km south of Roma it turns to the south-west and becomes known as the Balonne River. Towns the river passes through include St George, Dirranbandi and Surat. In this area Bungil Creek joins the Balonne.
The Balonne River then joins with the Barwon River and becomes known as the Darling, The Darling river in turn becomes part of the Murray River. The Murray and the Darling rivers together form Australia's longest river system, which flows more than 3000 kilometres south-westward to reach the sea near Adelaide in South Australia.
The Condamine River is reduced to a series of drying ponds during droughts in Australia.
Myall Creek which flows through the town of Dalby joins the Condamine on the SW side of the Town just west of the cache 'Treatment".
