Happy Jack bridge spans Happy Jack Creek along Kenilworth Skyring Road between the Tuchekoi and Carter's Ridge localities. We noticed a gap on the geocaching map and thought this nice countryside could do with a few more caches.
The Mary River Catchment locality supports a traditional farm lifestyle, where large rural allotments and modest farm houses are key features, even if full time farming no longer occurs. In the more expansive valley floors and foothills associated with Six Mile, Pinbarren, Coles, Skyring, Middle, Happy Jack and Blackfellow Creeks, rich alluvial soils suited to small crops, cattle grazing and dairying still support a number of large farms. On the ranges, where traditional agricultural activities have diminished, new rural industries such as farm forestry are occurring. Dispersed amongst this fabric of large rural allotments are a number of smaller rural retreats which provide permanent residential and weekend accommodation for residents seeking a peaceful, isolated living environment.
Happy Jack is also the name of a popular song by the band, The Who, released in 1966 on the album, A Quick One.
Lyrics:
Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
I saw ya!
You will need to park on the south eastern side of the bridge where there is a large flat space next to a driveway entrance. There is not much room closer to gz. You are seeking a shiny micro to keep Jack happy.
