A lovely spot on the approach to the main parking area of the
Orroral Valley.
This cache has been placed in connection with our Picnic at Orroral
event, and is a short scramble off the road that runs through the
valley. While it was very very dry when we placed the cache, it has
rained a number of times since and we should warn that the walk
along the rock platform can be a bit slippery.
This addictive sport has given us so many excellent experiences,
particularly in Namadgi National Park. So to log this cache we want
you to describe your Personal Best in caching. By no means does
that have to be a super human physical effort. It may be your first
FTF, it may be great time finding a cache at night, it may a superb
location on a rocky headland or a sneaky little micro grabbed when
the security patrol was looking the other way!
We ask that you describe your PB on line so we can all enjoy it. Of
course you can also log your PB experience in the physical logbook
too.
To get things rolling here's our own PBs. Mr W's remembers his PB
to be solving A Geocaching Drama in Three Acts, largely unaided,
over a couple of nights of insomnia, and then the significant
effort to go out and make a FTF on the cache. My PB is without
doubt climbing up to The Top ACT - Bimberi Wilderness, another
Mtbikeroz cache on the magnificent summit of Mount Bimberi. McPhan
and I walked several kms with overnight packs, camped at Oldfields
hut, then walked another 16km return to log one cache, and it was
worth every step. See the picture below - windswept snowgums, rocky
tors and the views into Koscuiszko NP towards Mt Jagungal and the
Main Range.
Our cache is a short walk over lovely granite slabs with a good
view across the valley down to the Orroral Homestead. The cache
contains an unactivated FTF coin for the FTF.
