Geocache Description:


The cache is on the side of Mafeking Road 200m east of Youngs Fossicking block. There are rules and permits that apply to fossicking and a web link is included.

Mafeking Road starts off Broughton Road (past the Venus Battery) and joins Plum Tree Road that originates (or terminates) on the Flinders Highway near GC5YJM3 (Where's my Water) and the barge. The proposal for ‘Lake Mosman’ includes inundating much of Youngs block.

This is one attempt to hide some bigger caches near the ‘nano city’ so it should be easier to find than a fortune of gold. At the time of placing it contained a bottle opener, mine-craft pick axe, smiggle puzzle and an un-activated 15 yr geocaching souvenir coin (FTF).

In April 2023, the cache was moved closer to the entrance of the fossicking area and is now a smaller container.
