Geocache Description:

Cache # 1

Welcome to the first hide for MegsnJoffa. Decided on a multi for slightly more privacy away from the main road and too get a better view of the hills. Please be careful of traffic as the road can get very busy.


WP1 brings you to the outskirts of Milawa heading towards the hills on the snow road. Here you will need to locate the micro which contains the co-ordinates for GZ, which is a 400ml camouflaged sistema.



Milawa was named in 1874 after being known only as The Square for many years prior. The word Milawa is aboriginal in origin and is said to mean "flat land". In these early times the Emu Hotel occupied one corner (built by James Henley) and the Commercial was on the opposite corner (built by Colin Gardner). General merchandise was available at McKenzie's store and there were two blacksmiths, a saddler, a boot maker, a carpenter and a doctor, Dr McSweeney. (Milawa mustards now occupies the Emu Hotel site, the Milawa Hotel occupies the Commercial Hotel site and Food on Wood the McKenzies site). The Post Office opened on 7 July 1862, known as Oxley until 1870 and Oxley Plains until 1874.
