This description assumes you have parked your car at "the top" at
S27 Deg 28.294', E152 Deg 56.504' (5m accuracy). You'll know if
you've got the right car park, because nine people work across the
road. It is also possible to approach this cache from "the bottom",
but that would be a rather significant hike.
Assuming you have taken the correct path (some people take the
wrong one - watch your GPSs closely!!) and you arrive near the
location, you will discover a nice view of the land below and a
steep gully that forces the path to curve down to the left. A tall,
lone tree stands in the middle of the path on this corner, with a
cavity in it's base - this is not to be confused with an
identically situated tree found 20m earlier on the path. From this
2nd tree, turn 90 Deg to your right (up hill). There stands a tall
red man who likes to sit by the edges of gullies. Walk up to him.
The Cache is hidden at his feet on his upper side - look for the
"C" mark and the small pile of rocks. You may need a small digging
tool to help shift the layer of dirt covering it.
Be sure to fill out the Log Book and use the camera - BUT DO NOT
TAKE THE CAMERA - LEAVE IT FOR OTHERS TO USE. If something has been
left there with instructions - please read them! Cache position was
averaged for 10 mins with an external aerial, achieving an accuracy
of 5.7m due to some tree cover. Always replace and recover the
cache as you found it! If you take something, place another item in
the cache.
Be cautious when searching for the Cache - the area is
very steep and the location is not very far from the car park as
the crow flies. However, crows are dumb and don't always know the
best path - stay as close to the path as you can!
April 2007 Update: We have received word that the
trailhead path has been closed due to errosion (we told you it was
steep!). A cross country trip may be required if you approach from
the car park (and not the near-by Cache In The Middle). We have
also been told of a new trailhead located at 100m to the SE of the
car park. We will confirm when able.
