Note- poison laid in possum bait stations; NO DOGS PLEASE; Children should be fully supervised; and please respect that part of this track is over private farm land.
Prepare to get a little muddy along the way (especially if it has rained any time in the previous month!) Max # on swing bridge is 5 persons.
Cache is about 10 minutes walk from road. Only 2 stiles to climb.
Not afraid of a little mud????? – then enjoy! Find the horseshoe bend where the hippos would wallow (note there is more than one!)
If you find yourself on a “Trial Bridge” then you have gone a bridge too far! (but only just)
Final waypoint (as listed at start)- then 13m scramble 330 magnetic & upwards.
Small 450ml Sistema snap lock box painted brown.
Usual trinkets to swap, log book & pencil
This cache was setup in the days of very basic GPS receivers, so is an off-set with the listed waypoint in a clear area. As GPS receivers now have good averaging ability, and much better receiver calculation capability, we have also listed a new “Additional Waypoint” called “Final” to make locating the cache easier to find for those challenged by working our bearings and distances for an off-set.
Once you have found the cache, you may like to follow the blazed track for another 5 to 10mins... waterfalls not much further on. Head across the 2nd swing bridge by the campsite to locate this gem of a waterfall.
