Oxley's Anchor Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

wilbur6bug: With sadness it is time to start archiving my caches in Tamworth as we are moving out of the region. This Cache was my very first, over 100 people have logged it, a few DNFs. I loved this location with the weirdly placed anchor to celebrate John Oxley - nowhere near an ocean!. Reading back on the logs, thrilled to see that dear geocaching friends Geono, were the FTF and many other local names I recognize.
It has been fun!
