Depending on your route you may loose GPSr briefly, but I was getting between 5 and 8 meter accuracy at the cache site.
As this is a small cache only small trade items will fit.
PLEASE make sure the container is well hidden when you replace it. This area is well used by locals and they kinda sneak up on you.
If you're exercising your dog please make sure it is on a lead. There are signs all over the place.
If you are like me and get eaten by mossies you will want to use some protection before you get there.
If you have time, go further along the track by Oakley Creek to the waterfall. Apparently, it's the biggest (tallest and widest) urban waterfall. However, don't be fooled by it's looks, the water is very polluted so KEEP OUT.
To find out more about this area and/or the motorway plans that will affect it check out the following web sites.
