Geocache Description:

I would like to say many thanks to Darwin people who organised the cache – I so enjoyed myself, also at the events, and meeting new friends. There are two caches at Fogg Dam – one is micro and one regular. I didn’t want to see anyone drive along to the cache just for one. Prizes are an unactivated geocoin for First to Find, Scratches for Second and Third to find. Again thanks to all geocachers, and special thanks to Gibbo003.

Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve is one of several parks in the lower Adelaide River catchment that provide havens for wildlife in Darwin's developing rural fringe. The Adelaide River catchment is one of several connected catchments which make up the Top End wetlands. These wetlands have international significance because of their beauty, natural systems and importance to Aboriginal people. Fogg Dam is a remnant of early attempts to produce rice on the Adelaide River flood plains. Today it provides an important refuge for wildlife. How to Get There Fogg Dam is located approximately 70 km east of Darwin along the Arnhem Highway. Take the Stuart Highway South and turn down the Arnhem Highway. Almost 25 km east of the Stuart Highway, signs indicate the way to Fogg Dam which is then 6 km from the Arnhem Highway. It has all weather access and is open all year. When to Visit Large numbers of wading birds gather at the Dam wall at the end of the wet season. From the end of March until the build up, around the start of October is the best time to visit Fogg Dam. What to See and Do Visitors can take several walks at Fogg Dam.
