We accessed this cache from the first parking/pathway when driving toward The Horn. From this direction, to reach GZ you will pass through two “galleries”, if you ascend the stone stairway (see spoiler photos) then you have gone too far. Of course if you arrive from the other direction then the reverse is true. The cache is located in a semi-cave environment and will require some bending and negotiating as the space reduces in height.
You are looking for a small screw top PVC pipe container hidden at ground level. No climbing is required at this site, just a sense of adventure.
How do I get there?
There are two approaches on the left hand side of the road (heading toward The Horn). It is a 1km 30 minute loop and classified as “Easy”.
Be Prepared
This is a granite environment which requires climbing and negotiating boulders and potentially tight spaces. It is HIGHLY recommended that these caches are attempted with two or more people for safety reasons. Please ensure that the Ranger’s or a close family member are given a plan of your movements and anticipated return in case of an emergency.
The best months for walking are from November through to April, however, weather conditions can change rapidly, and snowfalls and blizzards can occur at any time of the year. During the summer period, bushfires can also pose a threat so check the CFA website for updates prior to departure.
