Geocache Description:

Klings Hill offers quiet, informal and majestic parkland at the Western end of Wodonga.  Adjoining McFarlanes Hill (‘Hunchback’ mountain bike park), Klings Hill can be accessed from either Felltimber Creek Road or Coyles Road.


Klings Hill offers outstanding and interesting views of Albury, Wodonga, the Murray Valley, Barnawartha Hills, Huon Hill, Baranduda Range, Table Top, Redlight Hill, the Monument, Nailcan Range and surrounds.  There are also superb mountain bike trails, multiple geocaches, walking tracks, expanses of woodland and forest, swathes of native kangaroo grass, plentiful waterways & springs, native flora and fauna, challenging hiking, rock outcrops to explore and more.  If you enjoy the outdoors, Klings Hill is for you.

A walking trail map for McFarlane’s Hill can be downloaded at: http://www.parklands-alburywodonga.org.au/support-your-parks/publications/images/MacFarlanes_Hill_cropped.jpg.  Although this map shows most of the formal tracks that Parklands manage within McFarlanes Hill reserve, it does not provide detail for Klings Hill (also labelled on some maps as McDonalds Hill).

The very useful DEPI interactive map website can be used to create maps across Victoria (including Klings Hill) by zooming to the area of interest and playing with different layers: http://services.land.vic.gov.au/maps/interactive.jsp

I have placed a few caches on Klings Hill to entice others to explore this wonderful area.

KLINGY is located approximately 1.3km from the Felltimber Creek carpark, accessed via a series of management vehicle tracks that pass through a number of gateways.  (Note: 4WD/vehicle access is not permitted: you will need to walk these tracks from the carpark through a series of gates).  The cache is near one of the gateways on a ridgeline track that will take you westwards/onwards to outstanding views of Barnawartha, Albury and Wodonga.  KLINGY offers good views to the northeast across the Murray Valley.
