Geocache Description:

The fifth cache on this short trail is in the top paddock at Strathnairn, that will eventually become public open space after 5 April 2016, when the boundaries for the property are formally changed, to allow for the development of a new suburb. The views from here are AWESOME!


"Strathnairn" was one of the original Canberra homesteads. The land was originally granted to explorer, Charles Sturt, and over time became one of the most prominent farming properties along the Murrumbidgee River. In 1974 the land was resumed by the ACT Government. Since them, it has provided art space to local artists under a variety of arrangements. It is now public property, free and open to all visitors to visit between 10am and 4pm. Access is off Stockdill Drive. Around the original homestead buildings, the grounds are spectacularly peaceful, with views to the Brindabella's. These are unusually good from this particular cache. Changes to the boundaries on 5 April 2016 made new land available adjacent to the homestead for public space, and further afield for a new suburb which will be called Strathnairn. This small geocaching trail provides an easy walk and ready finds with unique GC's.
