Geocache Description:


Come and join us for a coffee, tea, cake or an ice cream, or just BYO. Just an opportunity to get the local Geo community together and maybe even meet some new people for a little early Christmas cheer. The Roto House cafe has coffee, tea, cake and ice cream available but there is certanly no obligation to purchase anything. 

In the off chance that the weather is inclement we also have an undercover option available.

For anyone that's not a local, there is also the Koala Conservation Hospital (just 50m from GZ) which is open to the public and well worth a visit to see some fury friends before or after the event.

Roto House incorporates a free museum where you can step back in time and explore the rooms of Roto House, a beautifully preserved, late-Victorian building in Port Macquarie. If you're lucky you might spot a koala in the surrounding trees.

From the moment you pass the picket fence and enter the bull-nosed verandah of Roto House, it feels as though you've stepped back in time. Passing inside the front door flanked by ruby lights, you'll enter a grand hallway decorated with cast iron lamps suspended from the ceiling.

Built by surveyor John Flynn in 1891, this 11 room weatherboard house constructed from local red mahogany was occupied by his family right up until 1979. It's still lovingly maintained by the National Parks and Wildlife Service to this day.
