Geocache Description:

Cliptop container with log book, pen and a few small swaps.

This land was where the Jaara Jaara people lived. If there are any descendants of the Jaara Jaara, I have not met them. White settlement was cruel.

The surrounding areas have descendants of 5 or so generations of white man. Some things can be sensitive still. There is a rumour, that the Sunday Morning Hills were home to a large slaughter.

The Jaara Jaara Aboriginal people of the Kooyoora area depended on natural springs and wells for their water as the area lacks permanent streams. Many large, yet shallow rock wells in the upper surfaces of the granite outcrops supplemented the water supply by storing rainwater.

Rock shelters and caves were used for shelter from the weather and their sandy floors have preserved many stone artefacts. Other remnants of Aboriginal occupation are scars in the bark of trees. Bark was used to make bark dishes and shields.
