This Quarry is the huge face you see as you drive up
Belair Road, directly below Windy Point. In recent years there has
been some great work done by Mitcham Council to set up mountain
bikes trails in this area. This cache will take you to a Free ride
park with some gnarly trails. Please get out of the way of bikes if
you hear them coming as this is their playground to ride hard
without walkers.
This cache is placed at the base of the western end
of the quarry, you will need to find the track into the base, and
then do a small scramble up a scree slope.
It is well worth exploring this area around to the
east as well, there are some great 360° views from a few places.
Best visited in the late afternoon when the sun is low in the
western sky, really bringing out the yellows and oranges of the
cliff face above.
CAUTION!!!
This geocache series is placed in and around
disused old quarries.
Please do not attempt this series at night unless
you know the area very well.
It was not my intention to test your climbing
skills, all caches can be reached by walking and/or a small
scramble.
Unfortunately the base of many of these quarries
is scattered with old rubbish dumped from above, please be aware
and careful.
Satellite lock and GPS accuracy in some of these
quarries may be poor.
