Geocache Description:

Some cachers may recognise this hide from a previous time. This camouflaged cache is hidden amongst the eucalypts overlooking Harriers Swamp in Holey Plains State Park. Facilities here include Camping, a toilet and a Picnic Area. A 20 minute stroll (1 kilometre) can be taken along a trail on flat terrain around the swamp.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PARK HAS BEEN ASSESSED TO HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF BUSH FIRE RISK AND WILL BE CLOSED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY OF DAYS OF CODE RED (CATASTROPHIC) FIRE DANGER RATING.
Holey Plains State Park
The Holey Plains State Park covers an area of 10,638 hectares and is best accessed from the Willung - Rosedale Road and then the Rosedale – Stradbroke Road (which are sealed). Once in the park a network of sandy roads and tracks offer opportunities to explore the park, with some tracks being narrow and winding, and sometimes sandy with steeper grades.
The park is of interest because of its native flora and fauna, all protected by a series of low sandy ridges.
Numerous species of frogs can be heard in the many swamps within the park. Swamp wallabies, emus and echidnas can often be seen, especially on the edge of tracks and firebreaks. Nightlife includes ringtail possums, wombats, owlet-nightjars, and bats. Birds are abundant.
The park contains over 530 species of plants which makes it one of the floristically diverse parks in Victoria. Common Eucalyptus includes stringybarks and peppermints. Other common plants are Saw Banksias, tea-trees, bush peas, wattles, heaths and 25 species of orchids.
Drives which are particularly scenic are West Boundary track, Long Ridge Track, Wildflower track, Jacks track, South Boundary track, and Merrimans Creek.
A number of walking tracks also exist throughout the park.
A first to Find certificate awaits.
