Geocache Description:

A unique part of our state.

I placed this cache while enjoying a family outing on a magnificent sunny day in late October. It’s a 200ml cliptop container hidden in a familiar way. Contains logbook, pencil, FTF certificate and a couple of swaps. Have been fishing here plenty of times myself but today it didn’t look like the fish were on as all of the usual parking spots were empty. Below is a bit of info I pulled of the net to describe the area you will be visiting. Please enjoy.
Winding through Bairnsdale towards Paynesville, the Mitchell River draws it's water from the Wonnangatta and Dargo High Plains with a spectacular entrance to Lake King through the Mitchell River Silt Jetties. An environmental wonder, these silt jetties were formed by silt deposits during flood times and are some 8kms long. The silt jetties have long been of interest to both scientists and visitors to the Lakes and Wilderness region. They are a form of delta known as 'digitate' or 'finger-delta' and are amongst the finest examples of this kind in the world. They are second in size only to the silt jetties of the Mississippi River on the gulf of Mexico - so it is interesting to note that the Mitchell River, so small in comparison, should have such fine silt jetties at it's mouth.

Hop growing was a flourishing industry along the river flats from the 1870's until 1916 when crops were decimated by the Red Spider. This spot is great for fishing, and be sure to have film in your camera because you'll also discover unbelievable views and sunsets.
.Happy Hunting.
