The Peel River was first discovered by European settlers in 1818 by John Oxley and named by Oxley in honour of Sir Robert Peel, an important British politician at the time of its discovery by British settlers in Australia
The famous Australian freshwater native fish Murray cod, Maccullochella peelii, was named after the Peel River by Major Mitchell, who sketched and scientifically described and named one of the numerous Murray cod his men caught from the river on his 1838 expedition.
This cache is about 1km past the crossing of the Peel. The previous cache was lost in a minor flood. I trust this one is out of flood reach. Possibly not the 1 in 100 year flood they keep talking about.
