Eudlo Creek runs through the town of Eudlo around 10km west. Cattlemen and timbergetters came to the area from the 1860s, but land was not made available for agricultural selection until the 1880s. The first selector was James Steele in 1887. In 1891, the section of the North Coast Railway from Landsborough to Yandina was opened. It brought closer settlement to the whole district, and facilitated the transport of passengers, timber, fruit and produce. A sawmill was built at Eudlo and large quantities of timber from the Blackall Range and surrounding forests, were either treated at the mill or railed to other centres. The timber industry was the means of livelihood for the early settlers. Eudlo State School was opened in 1897.
Original cache was a black 5 litre "vitamin" container tethered to a tree, with several swaps to start off (Sully, rubber ducky, ruler, sportsman, crayons) and a separate travel bug container inside to keep travellers safe. Now a much smaller container after the big one was muggled, despite surviving several floods. Camouflaged with leaf litter, ensure well hidden again after find.< Congratulations to Thorti and Holly on FTF!
