Don’t worry you won’t lose your head with this cache.
A guillotine is an apparatus designed for efficiently carrying out executions by beheading. The device consists of a tall, upright frame in which a weighted and angled blade is raised to the top and suspended. The condemned person is secured with stocks at the bottom of the frame, positioning the neck directly below the blade. The blade is then released, to fall swiftly and forcefully severing the head of the victim from the body with a single pass.
The history of the guillotine started long before the French Revolution, but when and where exactly, nobody knows. Guillotine like machines seem to have functioned in Germany, Great Britain and Italy before 1300, but there is no clear evidence to prove this. The earlier machines replaced the axe, but the guillotine replaced the sword.
This is a guillotine / cache with a difference.
I thought I would put this cache on the side of the New England Highway at a lay-by to make you have a rest break and stretch your legs. You have to park under the bridge on the Muswellbrook (West) bound side of the highway. If you are driving from Muswellbrook, you must pass the cache and do a u-turn at the Lake Liddel turn off. Unfortunately there are no picnic tables or amenities at the lay-by.
All you have to do is pull the pin and watch me drop or is it chop!
Please reset the cache before you leave.
Please make sure that the cache log book container connects back to the magnet when you replace it before the final reset.
I have now moved to WA so cannot maintain this cache, so hope someone can add a note book when needed. Thanks.
