Geocache Description:


These ruins were built in 1840 from stone quarried from the site by pick and shovel

Originally it was a junction station for mail coach drivers and the general public between Adeliade-Mt Gambier

During the Gold Rush, very few Chinese used this resting place as they were illegal imigrants and were frightened of being apprehended by government officials.

In the 1870's the railways started taking over the mail runs so the Inn gradually lost trade... It finally closed in 1886

Later it was converterd to an overseers cottage for Gillap Station

In the years after this it was occasionally used by wood cutters but is now a partially deserted ruin

Come and browse the history boards, bring your camera as there is great photography.

You are looking for a small Sistema container.
