Mallala is a small town north of Adelaide, pop 849 and 737 live within the township boundary. I first heard about Mallala when we were newly weds and Warren wanted to go and see a motor cross rally. The noise, the heat and the fumes didnt do much for me but he loved it.
Never been back until our trip yo Yorke Pen and we detoured a little as there was a geo art there in the form of 60. Sixty caches laid out along the fence lines, we did it in about one hundred minutes.
Moved into the township for a comfort stop which was at the local football grounds. Our driver who had been to Mallala before said there was an interesting cache just out of town.
This is a war cementry and one of the best kept cementry that I have ever seen. There are only 12 graves and headstones here but in war time Mallala was a training field for aircraft. Many of the young airmen did not get to see active service as they died in training. The twelve that are buried in Mallala were local and it is a memorial for all the men who died training for war.
