The Upper Kalgan Hall has been an important part of the Upper Kalgan community since its opening in 1912. When first opened, the hall was used as a school and for Church services performed by travelling ministers. Dances and Ladies Social Club meetings also attracted people to the hall. In one end of the hall double bunks were provided so children could sleep while their parents danced.
The Kalgan Hall site has been the subject of an archaeological investigation in the search for evidence of Aboriginal artefacts. During a 1987 study the vicinity around the Kalgan hall site was found to have some of the oldest evidence of Aboriginal occupation in the district. An excavation in the grounds of the hall was performed reaching 2.5m in depth and showed continuous occupation from the early 1800’s (around Mokare’s time) to before the lowest radiocarbon date of c18,850. The hall is close to a ford in the Kalgan River which was a spot where many of the main Aboriginal tracks came together.
The cache is a small camo and only contains a log book. You will need your own pen/pencil, and there is no room for “goodies”. Please place back into position carefully. Have fun, and after you’ve found it, enjoy exploring the river area. There is a good little parking area with access to the river across the road from the hall. There is another cache nearby for you to enjoy, too.
