Geocache Description:

Welcome to my latest series, designed to encourage you to visit the country town of Nagambie. Nagambie is located between Seymour and Shepparton along the Golburn Valley Highway. Come and visit for the weekend, there plenty of places to stay. The best weekend is the first Saturday of each month when you can also spend some time at the farmers market. There is a Festival in March called Nagambie On Water where all sorts of activities occur.

I was Paddling from Kirwins Bridge to Nagambie earlier this year (2012) and realised there were so many different types of birds in the general area, so I have decided to make it a bird themed series.

At this spot, it could be an ideal spot to stop for a picnic, There is also some shelter nearby if needed.

Dont forget to collect the number from the log sheet for the final cache of the series.



Some interesting Information about......Crested Pigeon


The Crested Pigeon (Ocyphaps lophotes, also commonly known as the Top Notch Pigeon) is a bird found widely throughout mainland Australia except for the far northern tropical areas. It is the only member of the genus Ocyphaps. There are only two Australian pigeon species that possess an erect crest, being the Crested Pigeon and the Spinifex Pigeon. The Crested Pigeon is the larger of the two species.
