Home of Forestry Traditional Cache

The second of Wakkatoo's cache hides, this location was chosen by the older of the 2 geokids. 

Should be a quick drive by cache. Those who are vertically challenged may need to stretch a little!

You are looking for a black screwtop 50ml plastic cylinder. You will need to bring a pen.

Far from being 'just' a mining town, Creswick is the Australian birthplace of reforestation. John La Gerche began re-planting forest areas ravaged by mining activity in 1882. Today, much of La Gerche's work survives around Creswick including magnificent plantings lining local streets and a 40min walk which highlights his work. 

Picturesque Creswick has a rich heritage and has produced some of Australia’s most influential bureaucrats, politicians and business people including the country’s 14th Prime Minister, John Curtain and artist Norman Lindsay.

There are a number of entrances to Creswick, however this cache was placed here due to its close proximity to the local cemetary. As a goldmining town, people from all walks of life worked, lived and were buried in Creswick. Be sure to take a look around.
