Geocache Description:

.A series of caches designed to highlight the discontinued railway line that ran from Wangaratta to Whitfield and return. All the caches are placed near the original sidings and stops and in all cases are easily accessed from the road. Care should be taken when crossing the road and parking as this is a relatively busy country road.

The station consisted of a name board alongside the line. Situated at 24 mile 16 chain from Wangaratta. Also has a quite historic cemetery in which many pioneers of the area are now at rest.

14/3/1899, Opened as Whitfield line stopping Place No. 8. (But why? See the next station, King Valley.). 9/5/1904, Renamed Hyem.
