WWII Stirling Mill Traditional Cache

The machinery used at Stirling Mill originated from the Maranboy tin fields and was the property of the Mines Department before being removed by the Army in 1942.

No 1 Flight, Engineering Construction Section of the RAAF's No 1 Airfield Construction Squadron, is believed to have operated the mill during the initial period of construction of Gorrie Aerodrome in late 1942.

It appears that with their departure from the site on 12 February 1943, the Mill continued to be used by the Army, and later, the Allied Works Council utilising Italian 'Aliens' as a workforce in processing timber.

The cache is a small magnetic tin with only a log inside, you will need to bring your own pen.

Easy location just off the highway with parking within 10m of GZ.

Good luck and have fun.
