"If people want this cache. I suggest go up Saddledam Road and walk in from there to the wall. Go down the stairs to the hiding spot. There is currently no work happening at the worksite. But if you go that way take care"
Leslie Dam
Patrick Leslie was a Scot who, along with his brothers Walter and George, was the first settler to take up land on the Darling Downs. In 1847 the New South Wales government asked Leslie to select a site for a town on his Canning Downs station. It was to be known as Canningtown but the name Warwick was eventually chosen. At the first land sale held in Warwick in 1848 Patrick Leslie bought the first allotment. Leslie Dam is named after the pioneering settler.
The dam was built between 1961 and 1965 on Sandy Creek, 11 km from Warwick, to provide water security for Warwick residents and the district’s irrigators. It was raised and radial gates were added in 1986, which more than doubled the dam’s original storage capacity to 106,300 ML. The dam’s primary function is to store water for irrigation and urban use and was not designed for flood mitigation and does not include a flood-mitigation compartment
Granite rock sculptures of Patrick Leslie and his wife Kate are located near the dam wall.

The hide is a small cammoed hide. Bear in mind that Granite Rock tends to cause compass jump!
Congratulations to Brother Colin, who left his little doggie Lilly with us while he raced across to make this his 100th FTF. Great milestone Colin.
