Geocache Description:


The Hundred of Bremer was proclaimed on 7th August 1851. Government surveyors were sent out to divide the new land into sections for purchase by the pioneer farmers, and to layout the roads of the district. While some effort was made to include any existing infrastructure in the survey, for the most part the sections and roads were laid out in a grid pattern on a map with little regard for any natural obstacles such as rivers and mountains. As a result, some of the surveyed roads were never constructed and many of these unused road corridors are still in existence today.

This cache is located on a section of road that was to join the ends of Tucker Road and Navarino Road together, but it was never built. Today the unused road corridor remains as a strip of native vegetation.

You will probably need to walk to this cache from Nurragi Road. Although, with a motorbike it could be a drive by.

This was cache number 3 at June LWE 2021
