Geocache Description:


After driving for what seemed an eternity on the Fish Tales series I was more than happy to discover an actual monument with some history!

Prior to this my excitement elevated only at Scargoes 999th find and a brilliant rainbow in the sky.

I've done a little research on the Para Wurlie School which opened and closed all in 5 years from 1891 - 1896

The following link on Trove even refers to the children of the district  growing up like heathens - not surprising with a school that only lasted this long.

The following link provides details from the Manning Index on the area known as Para Wurlie.

You are searching for small/medium container containing log book, pencil, swaps and a FTF prize.

Hope you enjoy this little roadside cache to break up your journey around the Yorke Peninsula.
