This site is a memorial to the Omana district's soldiers that served in WWII.
Seven locals served in WWII: Ron and Gordon Rogers, Edgar Palmer, Bill Love, Ian Legarth, Percy Saunders and Ernie Osborne. Only Bill Love did not return.
Corporal Love was killed in Tunisia on 20 April 1943 at the age of 35 and his ultimate sacrifice is acknowledged by a plaque on the entrance gate.
Before becoming a reserve commemorating those that fought in the war, in the 1920s it was where cattle had to be dipped before leaving the District in an effort to prevent the spread of ticks.
When dipping ceased the facilities were replaced with more redwoods. Now it is a very impressive stand of Californian Redwoods and the reminants of the old concrete remains of the dip can still be seen.
There is no formed track but the undergrowth is quite open and easy to walk about. Have a look around.
The cache is located near the old dip remains. It is a black medium pill bottle with hook attached. BYOP
