The cache is located near a bbq area in a Park (will need a 4WD).
Turn off Julimar Rd onto Plunket Rd (S31 29.876 E116 14.049).
Follow Plunket Road (at Beach Rd intersection it turns into a
track, follow the track). You will see a sign for the Park. Enter
the Park and follow your GPS. It is a steep and rough descent. The
bbq area will require the use of 4WD on the way back up.
The cache is a red lunchbox with a small number of items including
Tigger who has come North from Mandurah way.After rain this road
may be closed by a gate. You will need to decide if your vehicle
and skills meet the requirements to commence the descent.
13/06/2004 Checked out to see how it was holding up following
reports that it had been trashed. Great to see it had been built
back up by visitors. Thanks to all...Haywat

We arrived at 11.49, our second find of the day. Had a nice bite to eat down at the river before having a very quick and easy hunt. We took Hamburglar and left Peter Rabbit (which we'd like to track if possible) His number was OP35/340. So if you do help him on his way, it'd be great if you could let us know.
Was a great location and nice place to chill and enjoy the challenge of the `HILL'. Very intimidating at first but great fun!!
Cheers Haywat... Nice one!!!Ebb&Flo

We left the car at the top and walked in about a kilometre and a half. Nice camp ground down by the river. Found the cache no problem. TNLN. Now on to the other nearby one. Thanks Haywat

 Tried to find this one today but the road was closed - probably because of rain, and it looked like a very long walk. Will try again in summer.

We followed the track to the falls which was marked by a paper sign that had been sticky-taped to a more official-looking sign that said "Track Closed Danger" and other similar threatening things. This doesn't daunt geocachers. However, just above the falls, we paused for about 10 seconds to look at the ford and my trousers filled with meat ants. On several occasions after that I had to stop suddenly, lower my trousers and grab at my private parts and remove a now-dead meat ant. Bear_Left suggested we could ford the ford barefoot but I wasn't enthusiastic about that especially if I had to hunt meat ants while half way over. His suggestion that the consequent fall would deal with the meat ants was not greeted with enthusiasm - He, luckily for him had none and had already logged it.
