Description
Driving out of Corowa turn right at Tom Roberts Rd (Redlands Rd),while travelling along the road you will pass the sheepstation Killeneen. It was here in 1888 that Tom Roberts made some sketches in and around the woolshed. The following year he came back to Killeneen to paint his famous "Shearing of the Rams". He completed it in 1890 and sold it for 350 guineas ($735).
When making swaps could you please follow the theme of "Red", the colour of the clay soil around this area.
There is a picnic table and wellkept a long drop toilet available, so why not bring morning tea or lunch to enjoy.
Like all bush settings the eailier you get there the more animails you might see including kangaroos,goannas and birds aswell.
The first set of WPs will take you to the park entrance so you can find a micro cache with the co-ords to the final regular sized cache.

I am in Rutherglen for the weekend to attend the Mega. WP1 was an easy find. As we walked across to the final thousands of butterflies flew all around us. Beautiful
Can't believe it's been so many years between finds.
Thanks for the cache and the history Bulletproof4 - Appreciate your efforts
