Geocache Description:

The Goulburn-Taralga road has become increasingly popular as a thoroughfare for west-bound traffic over the years. The Taralga Trek series has been created to give travellers a reason to enjoy this country road even more. I hope this applies for you. 


STRATHAIRN

Each cache will represent a nearby property or locality name. Most are simple drive-by park and grabs. 

Please ensure you park safely and be aware of fast traffic passing by, especially if you have to cross the Taralga Rd.

Most hides in the series will be placed roadside or close by, and easy going. They will include log book and in most cases a pencil, though bringing your own pen is recommended.

This one gets you out of the car to view a small rock weir in the paddock, which, when overflowing, runs into the creek running under the road. Even though its close to the road, I've given this higher D and T ratings due to the very long grass, uneven ground and high potential for snakes in the area, as well as the minimal parking. Please be extra careful here as there is only a thin strip offroad to park. Best option is the Taralga side of the creek.

Just for interest, you are now:

109.94kms NorthEast of Canberra - Driving 142 km (1 hour 50 mins)

148.93kms SouthWest of Sydney - Driving 245 km (2 hours 45 mins)
