Geocache Description:

While visiting Newman - the town where I spent my childhood - my brothers, who are still residents of the town, and I decided to revisit Weeli Wolli, a spot which I hadn't been to it quite a number of years. I couldn't resist the opportunity to hide a cache that I had presared some months ago and have never gotten around to finding the right location for it. - I wanted this one to be a place that people would enjoy visiting and I really think that Weeli Wolli is that place.


Weeli Wolli Information

Access by four wheel drive only.

Situated on the Weeli Wolli Creek is a series of permanent pools and small waterfalls forming a lcation known locally as Weeli Wolli. The clear water flows for almost five kilometres providing a haven for fish and bird life. Majestic paperbarks and river gums growing to 30 metres high line the watercourse. Large date palms, a remnant of Cameleer days are scattered amongst the paperbarks. Camping is not permitted and is a protected site. Weeli Wolli can be reached easily by four wheel drive and with little care in the washouts, two wheel drive can also manage the journey. The trip takes approximately one and a half hours through spectacular scenery.

Once you have arrived at the GZ be sure to venture further along the creek bed and explore the rest of the waterway. A bit further down there is an excelent spot for a dip beneath the rock wall.

Water here flows year-round and with the aid of the discharge site from the nearby Hope Downs minesite the water flows better now than it ever has before.

Access

While heading towards Port Hedland from Newman approx 50kms along the Great Northern Highway there is a turn off on the righ hand side, the sign reads Rhodes Ridge. Follow the sign posts all the way in to Weeli Wolli.

The Cache

The Cache is a typical ammo case, it is tucked away but shouldn't be too difficult to find due to the lack of places an ammo case can be hidden in this region.

It is situated on the face of the opposing hill from the Hope Downs minesite water discharge site which as of recently has become the main suppliment to the natural sping that originally fed Weeli Wolli Creek.

We hope you like the spot as much as we do.
