Geocache Description:

On the way out to our favourite beach we pass through what we call the Tree Tunnel! 

 


Mango Avenue is a heritage-listed avenue of tree's at Mango Avenue (between Whittles Lane and Heidke Street). It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 31 July 2008. The avenue of mango trees at Eimeo, north of Mackay, was established probably in the 1880s by Jeremiah Downs Armitage, owner of the beachside Eimeo hotel/boarding house, to delineate the track leading from the main road through his property to the hotel.To supplement his income as a fruit grower, Armitage developed Eimeo as one of the Mackay district's first tourist destinations. In April 1880 he opened a newly completed boarding house on a promontory overlooking the sea on three sides (later known as Eimeo Hill). The house sat in a 9-acre (3.6 hectares) garden stocked with fruit trees, and visitors were invited to enjoy "sea bathing, yachting, fishing and shooting". He may have licensed this building for a short period, as he held a publican's license for the Eimeo Hotel, Eimeo, in 1889-1890

The cache is hidden in the little park just off to the side of the tree tunnel, please be careful to place the cache back the way you found it :)
