Geocache Description:

Cache # 122.

If you haven't already done the long multi-cache 'Stationery Peak' GCVC8G you might like to gather some of the information for it as you are travelling around to save double-tracking at a later date.


Whilst driving towards Mansfield I saw a "Historic Site" sign after visiting the old Karn Station site. Mallum was the next one visited today. Noted the "MALLUM" sign in a paddock nearby. I do like visiting these relatively unknown and forgotten historic sites.


From 1914 to 1947 the Tatong branch railway ran from Benalla to Tatong via Karn, Lima and Mallum.

After fading into the landscape for over 60 years the Tatong Railway Precinct was unveiled on the 11 March 2006 at the four station sites.  As these are now on private land replacement signs can be viewed from the roadside near the plaques. 

The cache container is micro in size.  It contains a log sheet only.  Please bring your own PEN.

CONGRATULATIONS - FTF - jigg61!
