How to get there: From Morisset, head towards Cooranbong along Martinsville Road, and turn left into Watagans Road. Continue uphill to Watagans Forest Road towards the series.
Road Use and Quality: The roads in the Watagan and Onley State parks are accessible by 2WD in dry conditions only. 4WD should be used at all other times. However, in some circumstances, the best way to approach these caches is on foot, especially on the narrower tracks. Common sense prevails!
The Lake Mac Heritage Series was placed to pay homage to the people, places and events that contributed to building and pioneering the Lake Macquarie region. The pick and shovel were chosen in this geoart series to symbolise the hard work the people of Lake Macquarie put forth into the region.
Dobell House The original section of what is now Dobell House, was built in the 1920s initially by Dobell's father. It was known as "Allawah" and is believed to have been designed by Dobell while he was an apprenticed architect. It was then later purchased by William from his father's estate in 1942. The house was constructed from local materials of sand and gravel found from the nearby foreshore. It is a distinctive example of an original "lake house". Over the years there have been many changes in floor levels and various additions. All of the paintings Dobell completed between 1945 and 1970, except for one, were painted in his home and studio. Dobell House is heritage listed on the Local Environment Plan of the Lake Macquarie Council and has been on the Register of National Estate since 1999. Dobell House is situated at: 47 Dobell Drive Wangi Wangi, NSW, 2267
