Geocache Description:

There are no boxes here but there is a great campsite ...

Box Flat is an ephemeral wetland, which means it is seasonally inundated with water during winter and dries out in summer.

During the years of pastoral occupation from 1871 to 1894, Box Flat was an outstation of Garra Station that was managed by Alan Baker. The main enterprise was sheep grazing, however many difficulties were encountered due to the impacts of wild dogs and competition by rabbits. The main walls and chimney of the three-roomed, local stone hut are all that remain in the park today.

Today, Box Flat is a favourite camping spot for many local families. Several camping sites are available ensuring visitors a peaceful respite and a quality wilderness experience.

This is the location we use for the Scouts for the "Survive Ngarkat" weekend each year and with the rain we had this weekend gave an challenging time for the kids.
