Geocache Description:

Monto is a town in Queensland, Australia, located on the Burnett Highway 93 km south east of Biloela


The above co ordinates will take you to the Monto Historical Society Centre.  Monto was a major stop on QR's Maryborough to Gladstone inland loop. When the first train arrived from the south in September 1928 there was no road transport, just small trucks deliering goods to and from the railway.  The railway was the community's connection to the world.

The line to the north was completed in 1931, by 1934 there were passenger services three times per week using a rail motor, and at its peak there were 27 trains per week.  By 1985 semi-trailer units began taking over from the railway and today trains are an oddity... although there is a potential for coal and mineral traffice in the futire.

The Monto and District Historical and Cultural Centre is beside the Burnett Highway as you enter Monto from the north.  Exhibits include agricultural machinery, historic buildings and a restored QR camp wagon (CW 34).

Although the cache co ordinates lead you to where you can see Cynthia, you need to look around outside her parked up visitor CW 34.
