Geocache Description:


Nothing to Fear at the Gully is located in a popular part of Darwin at Doctors Gully.


At high tide the water boils with hundreds of fish looking for a free feed, and the visitors are happy to oblige. This scene has become one of Darwin's best known tourist attractions and brings hundreds of people to the area at high tide when the fish come in.


This is also the site of a heritage listed area known as Peel's Well, a well which was gazetted on 19 April 1877 and provided water for the first gardens in the settlement and visiting ships.


Named after Doctor Robert Peel, the medical officer attached to Goyder's Surve party in 1869, the area became known by the colloquial name 'Doctor's Gully'.


Most of the early gardeners were Chinese, with the first formal lease issued on 30 March 1875 to three Chinese settlers.


During Wold War II this was an important base for Catalina Flying Boats. Some remains of wartime equipment can be still seen at low tide.


To get to the Fear I mean Cache laugh you can take the short walk from the city ( Gully can be accessed via staircase and path through dense rain forest leading down from behind the YWCA in Mitchell Street ) or you can drive down to the Gully.


Please watch for mugglers when searching for this cache and hide well to surprise future cachers.


Don't forget to BYO Pen and to Have Fun..
