Mount Gowar Scenic Reserve is located between St. Arnaud and Charlton. Being located in a relatively flat region of the world, it offers one of the few elevated views around this region.
The scenic reserve has an area of 64.5ha and was established in September 1987. At the time of hiding this cache, just across from the scenic reserve the construction of some wind turbines has begun. Eventually these will provide power for Canberra!
Nearby is an excellent example of weathering, with a large rock which has a shape that resembles an eagle with its beak wide open....perhaps it could be a dragon; either way, Mother Nature has done a cracking job at her carving. It also provides the cacher with a bit of a view towards the North.
Now I am not a snake, and I can't talk for the snakes, but if I were a snake I reckon I could enjoy living here.
This can be accessed with a two wheel drive vehicle, although I would recommend one with some decent ground clearance. Don’t attempt the ascent via 2WD vehicle after a heavy rain. Mount Gowar can also be walked by anyone of a half-reasonable fitness.
The cache is a 250ml screw top container
