Geocache Description:

Monto is a town in Queensland, Australia, located on the Burnett Highway 500 km north-west of Brisbane and 235 km south of Rockhampton.  The town was the administrative centre of Monto Shire.


The co ordinates take you to the Shire of Monto World War 2 Memorial located in the main street of town opposite the Council Offices and Shire Hall.  The Memorial was unveiled in 2008 and shows a plaque with the names of the Men who fell in Korea and Vietnam.

Europeans settled in the area in the late 1840's, maintaining large pastoral holdings at the northern end of the Burnett Valley.  Gold unearthed along Three Moon Creek in the 1870's attracted further settlers.  With dwindling gold reserves, Monto turned its economy towards farming and logging, two of the regions major industries today.

The cache itself is a black eclipse tin containing a simple log book.  Please take a pen with you for this cache.
