Geocache Description:

Being suitably inspired by the Presidents Trail in the High Desert of California, I felt compelled to place a Prime Ministers Trail in South Australia. The difference between the two is that these are all small containers (not micros) and will not be along a power line so distances and locations will vary.

This series has 26 caches placed over 42 kilometres between Two Wells, Mallala and Owen – Enjoy!


William McMahon was Prime Minister from 1971 to 1972. He was first elected to parliament in 1949, and held the seat of Lowe, in Sydney, for 33 years until his retirement in 1982.


In his only election as Prime Minister, William McMahon faces the voters at Box Hill, Victoria in November 1972.
NAA: A6180, 5/12/72/10

McMahon served as Minister for Primary Industry (1956–58) and Minister for Labour and National Service (1958–66) in the government of Robert Menzies, as Treasurer (1966–69) in the governments of Harold Holt, John McEwen and John Gorton, and as Minister for External Affairs (1969–71) in the Gorton government.
