Geocache Description:


 

This is one of a series of caches on the Gabriel's Gully walking track.

A well formed and maintained loop track traverses around a large part of the historic gold field. Allow at least 90 minutes to complete the loop track and gather the 6 caches on route.

 Managing the valuable water resource and keeping it flowing for the miners was the job of the Racemen. The raceman and his family had to live in cottages like in the photo often well away from the main mining activity.

The cache is a 200ml sistema container and was placed during the 150th Anniversary of Gabriel's Gully.
