Geocache Description:

This is cache is located at a forgotten Picnic Area in the Yarranjerry State Forest. There are a variety of ways to access this location. PLEASE KEEP TO FORMED ROADS!!! There is no need to go off the roads.


We were exploring the Yarranjerry State Forest for interesting features. As we drove in the direction we intended to go, we came across some small signs giving directions to a picnic area. It turns out it led us on the path we had already chosen.

The picnic area is at a small dam with what looks to be an intermittent 'swamp' nearby. There is car parking either side of the dam and a small picnic table that someone has put on the dam bank. I don't know how often this area is used, but it does have a forgotten 'ghost-town' feel about it.

Reminder: Please watch for other traffic and keep to formed roads. There may be a signficant amount of water at this location at times, so please be waterwise. Unlike National Parks, Dogs are allowed in state forests.

The cache is a short walk from the dam. Note: due to the heavy tree cover, GPS accuracy will be low, so look for the most obvious spot in that vicinity.
