THE PUBLISHED COORDINATES FOR THIS CACHE ARE FALSE!!
Goombargarna (the "Big Black Hill") is a interesting area of vegetation but is on private land - do not try to access the hill to find this cache!
Cache #211
While driving the back roads of Greater Hume Shire I came across an interesting triangle patch of remnant Grey Box Woodland. A quick search of the internet (plenty of reception here) identified the block as Triangle Crown Reserve. So I thought a simple triangle puzzle was in order and I placed a cache.
All you have to do here is solve X and Y - the checker will confirm your numbers.
The bush was very dry when I visited, but still a really nice remnant - I look forward to visiting in a good season. I hope you enjoy this patch of bush as well.
Greater Hume Back Roads Series
Surrounding the NSW city of Albury is the Greater Hume Shire. The Shire was formed in 2004 incorporating Culcairn Shire, the majority of Holbrook Shire and part of Hume Shire. The population in 2016 was 10351, but it is scattered over lots of small towns – Jindera (2222), Holbrook (1715), Culcairn (1473), Henty (1237) and Walla Walla (836) and a number of smaller villages including Morven, Gerogery, Walbundrie, Burrumbuttock, Bungowannah and Woomargama. I suspect many of the residents commute to Albury/Wodonga for work, but there are also a lot of small farms that would be a key income source for many of the residents.
While there are a number caches within the shire, compared to the adjacent north east Victoria and Albury, they are still few and far between. This series hopefully fills some of this gap - there are so many back roads where a cache could be placed. We have also tried to add a little bit of local history or information to make the caches interesting.
There are a variety of hides in the series, but each should be near a safe spot to park – they are all on sealed roads though some of the connections may be gravel (check in wet weather). You should be able to get your car well off the road (or if keen you could ride a bike!), and there should be no need to cross the road either. Despite most of these roads being relatively quiet, as always please be careful with kids and dogs. Snakes in warmer weather may also be a hazard. You will need your own pen for this one. Please return as found (including returning camouflage) to ensure this one stys in place.
We hope you enjoy this series.
