This geocache brings you to a paddock where just prior to 2pm on Wednesday 14th July 1920 Leslie Clarke AKA 'Nobby', landed Charles Pratt's Airco DH6.
This was the first ever plane to land in Dunolly.
The flight was a promotional tour for Geelong as a place to live and do business. After landing on this site, the plane was flown to the Dunolly Racecourse providing joy flights for 3 days much to the excitement of the locals.
Ironically less than a month later, the plane was destroyed in a storm while in Kaniva awaiting a new engine. The morning after the storm, parts of the plane were found half a mile away from where it had been tied down.
The plane was never repaired but parts not souveniered by locals were used in building another plane.
After all of this bad luck, the farmer owning the paddock where the plane had been tied down later sued Pratt and Clarke due to his neatly plowed ground requiring reploweing thanks to the trampling hoard of souvenier hunters!
You are looking for a bison tube containing log only. You do not need to cross the fence.
