Cache #148
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.
The "Hardworking Horse" sculpture at Daysdale, situated in the picnic area across from the Exchange Hotel, had a plaque unveiled in 2021 in honour of the late Len Hanrahan, a local farmer who lost his 40 year-long battle with cancer in 2020. Len's motto, featured on the plaque, reads "Coming together as a community brings people together".
The metal horse sculpture was created by Doug Monroe. This sculpture, along with Jimmy Hewson's "Man on the Pump" in the same vicinity, give an artist's impression of how Daysdale's water used to be pumped in the late 19th century.
A magnetic cache (though not a nano) on one of the statues - shouldn't be too hard to find. You will need your own pen here.
There is a nice waterhole nearby which often has a few birds - careful with kids here. As with all caches in the Australian bush beware of snakes in summer. Otherwise enjoy this nice park.
Enjoy!
