Geocache Description:

Located at Aplins Weir on the Ross River, Townsville.

Another beautiful Townsville spot for the family.

Alpin's Weir started out as small stop weir, built in 1927 to catch the water that was released from the Gleeson's Weir for the growing population of Thuringowa and Townsville.

It wasn't until 1943 that the concrete Weir that is now Alpin's Weir was built, it took around 12 months to complete
.
The area of water stored here is used for water sports and fishing.

Cache is located on the Annandale side of the Weir & is a small Systima container containing logbook, pencil & room for small swaps.

Please make sure you wedge it firmly back in the spot you found it.
