Geocache Description:


This is my 3rd cache hide. 

I have placed this one at the park on the edge of Khancoban township. 

 Khancoban was a sleepy hamlet until construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Scheme began in 1949. Khancoban was built by the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority as a town to house workers on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme and their families. During this time, the population reached its peak of around 2,000 people. Today, the town has a population of around 280. It is the headquarters of the Murray region of the scheme, which is owned and operated by Snowy Hydro Limited, overseeing the nearby Murray 1 and 2 power stations and Khancoban Pondage.

Now this small country town is the gateway to Thredbo and has a couple big events through out the year.

A great place to take it easy and enjoy the history.

I encourage photos with the Trout to be left in the logs

 

Cache is a small mint tin
