Geocache Description:


The Group Settlement scheme was initiated by Sir James Mitchell, Premier of Western Australia, and was jointly financed by State, Commonwealth and Imperial governments. There were 15 Group Settlements in Denmark, spread between the present town and the Valley of the Giants, west of Bow Bridge.

Targeting civilians and others who were otherwise ineligible for the Soldiers' scheme, its principal purpose was to provide a labour force to open up the large tracts of potential agricultural land.  

Small one or two teacher schools were established around the settlements.  Group 93 school was established in 1927 and closed in 1946.  Sadly there are no remnants still visible, and the plaque that was placed to commemerate the school has also been destroyed.

Parking by the roadside is available in both directions.  It is a short walk into the cache location.
