Cache #146
The Federation Council is a local government area located in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia. This area was formed in 2016 from the merger of the Corowa Shire with its neighbouring Urana Shire. These caches are some random additions to encourage more visitors to this part of the world.
This access track heads into the Quat Quatta Regional Park - the former State Forest now managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The cache however is located in a Crown Reserve and provides access to the Murray River.
Quat Quatta was one of the original stations in the district (may have had a role in horse trading across the river involving the Kelly Gang). Apparently the name means "the cry of a frog or plenty fish" though it also appears to be a clan name for a group of people that used to live in the local region.
As with all caches in the Australian bush beware of snakes in summer. This track may get busy in summer with fishermen accessing the river. You will need your own pen here.
Good luck!
