The cache is a large 5lt Sistema with camo covering. A very easy park and grab and as it is on the Matilda Highway, this road is heavily used by the Grey Nomads on their annual migration. Not to mention the road trains, large semi trailers with up to 3 trailers.
Grey Nomads are the retired group of people who mostly live down in the colder latitudes of this great country. During the annual migration, from April through to October or even longer, these back highways are heavily used by the caravanner's and mobile homes as they make their way north for the winter sun in Sunny Queensland, and the Northern Territory.
This particular location is where the Gidyea trees make way for the Eucalyptus scrub.
The parking is quite good at this location, but it is just by the side of the road, so no camping or long term parking and there are no other facilities here. Back towards Blackall about 2km is a large rest area with camping, toilets and tables etc. While there you may also like to check out my other cache, the Canetoad Dunny
This cache contains a logbook, a TB and some other trade items, there is plenty of space and I hope this can be used as a TB hotel. Muggles are non existent, except for passing traffic, but as usual, please close the lid securely and re-arrange the camo
The usual cautions about passing traffic, especially the road trains and during the hot season, as it is bushland, there could be snakes.
Other wildlife in the area, kangaroos, heaps of these, be careful early morning and early evening and night, they can make a mess of your front end. Brolgas are also in the area as well as emus, both these are large birds and can cause damage, Echidnas(spiny ant eaters), dingos and plenty of birdlife are also in the area.
Congratulations to echidna trek for First To Find
