Geocache Description:

This is a micro cache bison tube so will need to bring your own writing stick. No swapables.

"The Breaker" Harry Harboard Morant lived and worked on Pullaming Station about ten kilometers south east from Gunnedah prior to the Boar War. The Breaker as he was known, was a horse breaker of some reknown and an excellent horseman. The story goes that he had a horse called "The Rattler" a very good jumper of fences, which Harry is said to have jumped over a six foot (1.8Mtr) high jump, lit only by the moon and two candles placed either side of the jump. This feat was accomplished for a five pound bet within these grounds. Harry went off to see the world like all the other young strong men of the time to the Boar War. It was here that he was courtmarshalled and sentenced to death by firing squad for supposed killing unarmed Boar prisoners of war. It's a little ironic but the man who ordered his execution was one Lord Kitchener the British Officer in charge of all Australian troops in Africa at the time. These grounds Kitchener Park, are named after him, and internal road is called Breaker Morant Drive.
