Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed co-ordinates but there are information boards which will give you all the information you need.

In 1940, the Commonwealth Government resumed nearby Sparke's paddock in order to turn it into an army camp and training facility for troops heading off to WWII.  


This site was chosen due to it's proximity to the train lines (Geebung Railway Station) and it had good road access. Town water followed shortly after the camp opened.  At it's peak, thousands of soldiers were housed and trained here prior to being sent off to fight in the war.

Read through the information boards at the listed co-ordinates to locate the following numbers which will lead you to the cache which is located at:-

S 27 22.ABC E 153 02.DEF
