Scrubby Station

In early 2012, a 105 acre property just north of the East Gippsland (Victoria) town of Buchan was put on the market. The Slippery Pinch Road property includes the Scrubby Creek watercourse and Scrubby Creek Cave, which is a cave of significance. The property's pending sale aroused the attention of some keen cavers (and arm-chair cavers) who saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect the cave and related features.
