A suburban rainforest tucked away on the sleepy side of Buderim Mountain.
Sister cache to Below the Falls (GC4G6X8)
You may need to read the description below, follow the map provided, and our clues to find the cache as your GPS may not work once you are under the forest canopy.
Harry's Restaurant is the lower entrance to a fairly easy forest walk, which will take you to "Above the Falls". From the Harry's Resturant starting point you will be on a boardwalk, but not for long. The boardwalk lasts for about 500 metres before the terrain becomes more 'natural' for approximately another 500 metres. Following the track beside the creek will bring you to the "Serenity Bridge", a wooden arch bridge that was built elsewhere and delivered to the forest by helicopter.
Beyond the bridge is "Serenity Falls" and the waterhole. Bring your swimming gear if you'd like to take a dip. At this point, you have a choice: cross Serenity bridge and find the fork in the path that will lead you to "Above the Falls"...or continue straight ahead and take the high path that will lead you to the same place. You'll know you have arrived at your destination when you come to the two bridges.
For those on a caching mission, a shorter route to the cache can be achieved by starting at the top entrance of Buderim Forest. Follow the track down to the first fork and take the right path to "Above the Falls".
Once you have found the two bridges, let your caching instincts kick in - remembering we value your safety and the natural environment. The forest can be busy, particularly on sunny days, so you may have to be strategic in your search for and retrival of the cache, which contains a few small swaps.
Regardless of your chosen entry point, we recommend taking a stroll along the entire track; it's a beautiful forest. We also suggest sensible shoes and insect repellent as there are enough mozzies here to carry away a small child :D The track can also be slippery and muddy in places after rain so take care.
Happy caching!
