Geocache Description:





Welcome to Mount Korong Nature Conservation Reserve.

When heading toward Wedderburn from Inglewood, Mount Korong appears on your right when about 15km. from the township.
The first recorded climb was by the Major Mitchell exploration, in 1836. History is unclear if Major Mitchell himself made the climb, probably not.
The mountain is now, however, a popular rock climbing venue and there are some of the most amazing rock formations caused by wind and rain erosion that you will find anywhere.

There are three caches in this series, #1. The Base Camp. #2. Batman's Cave and #3. The Summit. All have a Scratchie ticket for the First to Find and are of increasing value as you proceed to the top. To be fair to those following, there are just two rules.
1. You only take one and obviously the best one will be at #The Summit.
2. We go halves with the winnings. Good luck!

For the #1. Basecamp cache in our series, we will not be needing to test our rock climbing skills too much.
You will be searching for a pickle jar of about a half litre capacity, complete with a log, pen and a few small swaps and shouldn't be too hard to find.
