Geocache Description:


My parents are Grey nomads and they spend every winter camped at Fletchers creek, with such an interesting history this location needed a multi cache .

This cache is located within the free camp grounds at Fletchers creek.

This area was where the first European explorer Ludwig Leichhardt set up camp ( along the Burdekin river).

Leichhardt passed through this area on his journey from Toowoomba to Darwin.

The cache is not at this coordinates but the information on the notice board will provide you with sufficient details to get the cache coordinations. Just like the explorers from the past, a quick bit of math will assist in the calcutations of the final destination.

A: Difference in years from when gold was discovered in Charters Towers and a mojor flood that destroyed most of the Dalrymple township.

B: Number of discovery trails on the Great Tropical Drive 1B

Good luck with your expidition and hopefully you didn't end up like Leichhardt.
