TD 005 – Brumby Traditional Cache

This is a series of 7 caches, the theme - Horse Breeds Originating in Australia.
They have been placed along a quite road, near horse country.

A pleasant drive, just to get you out and about, with the bonus of finding a cache.

As we started geocaching when we lived in Mandurah, we decided to place our first cache near by.

A Brumby
is a free-roaming feral horse in Australia. Although found in many areas around the country, the best-known brumbies are found in the Australian Alps region in south-eastern Australia. Today, most of them are found in the Northern Territory, with the second largest population in Queensland. A group of Brumbies is known as a "mob" or "band".

Brumbies are the descendants of escaped or lost horses, dating back in some cases to those belonging to the early European settlers.

Today they live in many places, including some National Parks. Occasionally they are mustered and domesticated for use as campdrafters, working stock horses on farms or stations, but also as trail horses, show horses, Pony Club mounts and pleasure horses. They are the subject of some controversy—regarded as a pest and threat to native ecosystems by environmentalists and the government, but also valued by others as part of Australia's heritage, with supporters working to prevent inhumane treatment or extermination, and rehoming Brumbies who have been captured.

Happy hunting.

OOH YEH has kindly offered to maintan these caches for us.
