Geocache Description:


The Whyalla Levee cache series follows the line of a Levee bank that protects the western edge of Whyalla from surface run-off in the event of a major rain event.  Such an event occurred in January 2007 when 85mm fell in an hour, following a 40mm deluge the day before.

The levee was built after massive storms in 1971 caused flooding to the new developments in Whyalla Stuart.  In 1973, 2 weeks after Stuart High School was opened, it was flooded as the levee had not extended that far yet.  It is now approx 4 km long.


This cache is at the northern end of the levee, and as water flows from the north when it floods, I’ve called this the start!  (GZ is a few metres from the start due a nearby cache.)
