This cache is hidden at the root of a eucalypt tree that sits some 20 metres behind a stone seat part way up the summit loop track.
The cache holds a notebook and two small treats for those children who are with you. Feel free to swap the items within the cache that can be found hidden at the root of the tree behind the stone seat.
Follow the track North from the car park pass the spot chosen by John Glover to represent the view over early Hobart. Take time to read the information board. Walk on and listen out for frogs as you pass the frog pond.
