Geocache Description:

I have a vague memory that there used to be a cache at this location but never had the opportunity to find it. So on a recent vist to the area I decided to place a new one.

This is another cache for the "granite hoppers" amongst us!!

This one is for all the people who get to a hill and wish the cache wasnt at the top!!

Cache is a small plastic container with the usual goodies and first to find cards.

A large rock formation spanning an area of 60 acres.

It serves the town's water supply and is located four kilometres south east of Wagin.

Puntapin Rock has been developed into a public picnic area and the Water Authority of Western Australia has permitted access to the rock's summit.

Picnic furnishings, toilets on septic system scheme; water and walk trails.

The visitor is requested to exercise observance of a notice board erected at the entrance to Puntapin Rock for the protection of the area that is still being utilised as a catchment area for water for human consumption.

Observance of the notice board will also ensure continued access to the rock, which offers some spectacular views.

The Water Authority has erected a tourist information board on the rock's summit giving the history of the rock and other general items of interest. Wildflowers abound from September through to early December each year.
