Geocache Description:

This cache is likely to be a hard cache to get to from whatever direction you take it on. The closest point requires around 600 to 700 metres of steep descent and ascent completely off-track.  You may be able to reduce that level of climb by taking a longer route making more use of the ridges, but you will still have to go down and back up again. I do suggest you make use of good maps and do carry plenty of water. Please do tell someone where you are going.

 


The cache is one of two placed in the locality. This one is lower down the ridge at an object which is probably of more interest to boys than girls, hence the name. That said it is a great bushwalk and challenge for both sexes. I would encourage appropriately skilled all-comers to take it on!

The cache itself is a small ammo box with the usual array of swaps.

If you want assistance on the best way to tackle the cache please by all means give me a ring.  You will find my phone number in my Geocaching Australia profile. See the link below.

In taking on this cache you will need long pants or gaiters, you should carry sufficient water and you should let someone know where you are going. It would not be hard to have a fall in the locality.

All that said it is a nice challenge, an easy find and it provides an interesting insight to the recent history of the area.

If you wish to make any comments please post a log or email me. Please log your find in the cache and on Geocaching.com. Please no hints or multiple logs, but please do leave a photo or two. Phone a friend is allowed, but hopefully not required.
