Geocache Description:

The Bairnsdale Livestock Exchange Rotunda dedicated to the memory of local drover and farmer Les “Plugger” McMahon.


In his early 20s he took up employment with the local blacksmith, George Hadfield and learnt the art of blacksmithing, in particular shoeing horses.

The pair also made every hinge for the original saleyards on the current site. By day the pair would shoe horses, then work well into the night making each of the hinges by hand. At 15 years of age “Plugger” made of the first of what became hundreds of droving trips from East Gippsland over the following 40-50 years.


NOTE This cache is a easy park and grab, But if the sale are on, it is definitely a no go area.  too many muggles
