Geocache Description:

The sixth in this series... The cache is a magnetic Eclipse container with a logbook only. Please bring your own pen. Please take care when replacing.

There's plenty of big cats here but this is no isolated game reserve so watch for traffic and muggles 24 x 7. This is a drive by cache which would suit night caching. Please replace and cover it as you found it.

Eagle Farm first appeared as a name in 1839, identifying a cultivation area in convict era Brisbane. Presumably, the name was derived from the presence of wedge-tailed eagles in the area. The Eagle Farm Women’s Prison and Factory, a Queensland Heritage registered site since 1990, was opened in 1829 in an attempt to separate male and female prisoners and, by 1836, was home to 40 female convicts.

Despite additional fortifications, rendezvous between prisoners still occurred and by July 1839 the prison was closed. In the 1850s, displaced Aborigines from Bribie Island, the Redcliffe peninsula and Wide Bay set up camps in the Breakfast Creek/Eagle Farm area2002. Today Eagle Farm is an industrial area and home to both large and small organisations from Technology to Warehousing and everything in between.
