Geocache Description:

This is another in the Pheonix Series.

The cache is to replace one which had been archived but the spot is such a great place to have a cache that we felt it was imperative to replace one here.

Therefore a new cache rises from the ashes of an old archived one.


What a great little piece of settler history

If not for this small park containing some slowly rusting relics and a detailed information board, there is virturally no trace of what was once a busy rail port.

The cache is not at the listed Co-ords.

Look to the information boards to find the answers to the questions to find the final Co-ords and the cache.

The cache can be found at S 34° 20.ABC E 115° 09.DEF
