8 Hectares of Wheat
Donald McLean arrived in South Australia at Holdfast Bay on December 6 1837 onboard the ship “Navarino”, commanded by Captain C. A. Warning. He came with his wife Christina and their 5 sons and 5 daughters. There were 217 passengers aboard the vessel.
He selected section 50 from the available sections (he had paid £1000 for a section entitlement). In 1838 he grew the first wheat crop in South Australai, about 8 Hectares on his section, which was located around the Hilton area.
At the initial coordinates, you will find a vehicle that Donald could only have dreamt of, and would’ve made “scouting” around the new settlement a lot easier. It has a number on it, of the format:
A/BCDEFG
The next waypoint can be found at:
S34 5C.(C-D)(F+D-E)(A+D) E138 3(G-A).AA(F+D)
The top plaque has a date “March JK LMNO” and a plaque on the side with the number, of the format: “WXYZ”.
The cache can be found at:
S34 5(N-J).(Y-J-J)(G-E)(J+W) E138 3(Y+J+K-B).J(M-J-A)(Z-J)
Whilst logging, try to imagine that you are standing in a field of wheat.
Please make sure the cache reattaches to its holding mechanism when you replace it; please do not leave it on the ground.
Enjoy
