You are looking for a small-ish sized cache containing a handful of small swaps (trade up or trade even if you do swaps, please.)
The terrain is faaaairly flat and clear... just not quite your typical cricket pitch!
Suitable for young and old.
Hope you enjoy!
Thanks to Trumpy-Gee for being the back-up maintenance crew for this one.
This cache is located at the rather charming Tolmie Sports Ground.
A sporting day is held here annually in February, and has prevailed since the first in 1886, when it was called the "Wombat School Picnic" (before the town's name changed from 'Wombat' to 'Tolmie' in 1879.)
The annual Tolmie Sports Day is a popular event where traditional activities are still upheld - such as woodchopping, footraces, horse events, plus some real novelties like the Three Man Challenge, Egg Toss, Rat Bash and the Old Buffers Race... There are great activities for all - young and old!
The day (actually, weekend) also entails local craft and produce stalls and competitions, and all is finished off with the traditional "bush dance".
Approx. 45 mins from Mt Buller, the region of Tolmie averages around 850m above sea-level. At the right time of year you might be lucky enough to find yourself hunting through a little snow to find this cache! It is generally a quiet little country town, and more often than not you would find yourself unhindered by muggles in your search. (Enjoy the relative peace and quiet, beautiful trees, plenty of wildlife and fresh air galore!)
The approach to Tolmie Sports Ground, whichever way you arrive, will entail a little gravel-road travel, but it's minimal if you come from the Mansfield-Whitfield road.
A short drive from here to "Tolmie Watering Holes" cache.
