Description

Yarrie Lake is a jewel in the usually hot, dry inland of NSW, bordering on the Pilliga Scrub.  It is  a 3km saucer-shaped expanse of water thought to have been formed by a falling meteor many thousands of years ago.

 

It is appreciated by the locals of both Narrabri and Wee Waa - two towns each less than half an hour’s drive away.  


Water skiing, swimming and picnicking are favourite past times here. Camping, both powered and unpowered, sites are available.  You can walk right around the lake but not drive as there is only a footbridge across the wetlands.  You could however cycle. Now you can cache as well as there are a few caches scattered throughout the bush. One day the trail might extend the whole way. 

Enjoy your caching but don’t forget to carry water even though the path is mostly shaded.

#GA5137 - 08:20; Day two of a road trip with Sol de lune as we head north for the CacheQLD - Dayboro Mega. After spending the night in Narrabri we stopped for a couple of local caches/trigs before setting off for Yarrie Lake for a short tour, then heading north for Moree, across the border at Goondawindi and on to Toowoomba for a couple of days. This was our first stop at the lake and the rodent nibbled cache was quickly located and the log signed for a joint *FTF*, despite tha lake being a little fuller than when the caches were placed.

Heading north with LuckyL10n to hopefully go to the QLD Mega, and called in here to grab this series of caches. With the water level as high as it was we only managed to found 4 of the 8, with this one being the first. No problems and our names were soon in the log book.

Looks like a neat area....apart from all the excess water today. Thanks for bringing us here SmittenGranny....
