Geocache Description:

The cache is located on a picturesque walking track, less than 500 metres from the Tarra-Bulga Park Visitor Centre.

There should be no need to leave the track.

The cache itself is a small sistema container, containing logbook and pencil (though you may want to BYO pen) and a few small swaps. The immediate area GZ is located in, was a sawmill.

From the nearby sign:
"All that remains of a small sawmill that operated here is a heap of sawdust and a sawpit.
Logs were dragged out of the forest and cut into lengths or billets by a steam-driven saw.
The billets were taken by horse-drawn tram to another sawmill in the area for final cutting.
In the early 1900s there were at least three sawmills around Balook."
