Geocache Description:


The Newmarket Saleyards operated for more than a century. In the 1930s Newmarket was Australia's premier livestock centre. Having survived numerous shutdown attempts, by the 1970s Newmarket faced a serious challenge from regional saleyards with modern facilities. Protests and resistance following its official closure on 30 September 1985 resulted in the extension of auctions until 1 April 1987, but by then most of the life had already drained from what had been one of the world's largest livestock saleyards. The site has been used for housing, and administration buildings now house a school.

An interesting spot for a geocache. Residents live nearby. Community gardners also use the space.
