Geocache Description:




Tinamba is a dairy farming town in Victoria, Australia, located on Traralgon - Maffra Road between Heyfield and Maffra, in the Shire of Wellington, and like most small country towns has a general store, but more importantly a pub. At the 2006 census Tinamba and the surrounding area had a population of 500.

In 2007, Tinamba suffered two 1 in 100 year floods.

In June 2007, Tinamba and nearby Newry were devastated by floods which caused damage to homes and properties, backed up again by another flood in November.

The towns were mostly spared, with reports of homes suffering water damage but the relief effort was massive with quite a few locals airlifted out of the area by RAAF rescue assets before the flood peaked. Although now back in business, there was a time when where you will be standing to retrieve this cache was up to your waist in water, and you’d need scuba gear to even think about going into the hotel’s cellar!

The cache is an urban camo magnetic micro in plain sight. You will need to exercise some stealth in retrieval as not everyone has eyes in the back of their heads.

As usual, Good Hunting!
