Located High above Robin Falls this 50cal
ammo tin may prove hard to reach.
I don't know why they built these water falls so
far from the car park so you will have a 400m walk on a very rough
track to reach the base of these falls. The cache will only be
found by climbing so be careful as the rocks can be loose and a
fall in this area will hurt. The GPS coverage when the cache was
placed was very poor due to the cliffs and rocks so do not expect
better than 10m accuracy.
Please assess the risk of climbing before
attempting the cache. If you feel you are not able to make the
climb don't.
As always stay safe and have
fun.
Robin Falls is an attractive three-tiered waterfall that sits just
east of the boundaries of Litchfield National Park near the
township of Adelaide River on the Dorat Rd. This waterfall is
seasonal however so you'll have to time your visit for early in the
Dry Season. I suppose you can visit the falls in the Wet Season,
but the conditions might make access much more difficult.
The car park for the falls is at the end of a short
spur that is a bit rough and rocky (high clearance vehicle
recommended though a passenger vehicle can make if you're careful).
From the end of the road, you follow the creek upstream as the
trail starts off pretty well-defined, but starts to become less
defined the further you go. Eventually, some rock scrambling may be
required and even when you get to the falls, you might have to
scramble on the facing rocks (be careful as it can get very
slippery here) in order to see the falls without the rock
obstructions.
Look for the somewhat signed car park for the falls
some 12km south of the township of Adelaide River on the sealed but
narrow Dorat Road. Give yourself about 20-30 minutes each way for
the walk to the falls.
