Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

The design construction of the Hume Dam in 1936 was one of the largest dams in the world. Doubling of its storage in 1961 involved post war migrants, the relocating of Tallangatta township and building Bathanga Bridge.

Married employees in NSW were granted allotments for themselves and their families. they were supplied the materials to build 3 or 4 Brm cottages. The value of these materials were deducted from the employees wages at a rate of 12.5% per day until they were paid off.

While the difficulty of this cache is low given the popularilty of this spot the difficulty lies in retrieving the cache without being caught. Please take a great deal of care when you retrieve and replace this cache.
