Geocache Description:


Welcome to Wander Which Way?’s first cache.
 
This is an old-style multi, where you will need to collect information at different way points so that you can calculate the actual cache location.
 
This cache will provide some insight into some of the historical figures that had a lot to do with the establishment of the Kyneton Township or were well known individuals in their own right with a connection to the Kyneton area.
