Geocache Description:


This area provides a memorial for one, a home for flora and fauna, and views for many tourists, visitors, and residents.

The Memorial: John Beamont, an early settler, who was somewhat a 'pioneer' of the Central Plateau. A poem was written in honour - referring to his service to Van Diemen's Land, his sacrifice, and the respect he gained. You can view this peom at the memorial site.

The Flora and Fauna: Here, and anywhere on the Central Plateau, plants and animals are abundant. There is a huge amount of gum trees, such as the unique blue gum, native to Australia. There are also other taller gum trees, which make for the leaf litter, and a home for the possums. There is evidence of Australia's animals too: Wombats, bennets wallabies, possums, grey kangaroos, green rosellas, insects, and, if you're lucky, Tasmanian Devils. Be sure to mention any animals you've discovered while searching for this cache - in the online logbook.

To get to the memorial and cache, you will need to walk roughly 200 metres, which, I find, is very relaxing and enjoyable. The cache is around 1000ml, and camouflaged. I have provided a generous hint, in case the coordinates do not settle. Please attempt to find the cache without the hint if you can. If you wish to find the other cache nearby, I would highly recommend travelling to the other cache via the carpark, rather the the walking path, unless you would like a jump in the terrain rating. 

Happy Caching!
