To find this one-stage multi you'll need to complete the 17km Warrie Circuit in the Springrook National Park.
The cache location is NOT at the published coordinates, which is at "Meeting of the Waters", approx half way round the circuit. You will need to get here to find the clues to decypher the final coordinates. GZ is located outside the NP boundary on public land.
You can start at either the Canyon Lookout car park or at Tallanbana picnic area. The circuit takes 4-5 hours. If you're game, you could also take a side trip to "Springbrook Pinnacle" cache which is accessed from the Warrie Circuit, this would add another 3km.

The Warrie Circuit, which includes 11 waterfalls, is best walked clockwise to avoid the short, sharp initial drop into the valley floor which would be a killer at the end of the walk!
The vegetation change in descending from the clifftops to the forest floor is remarkable, from blue mountains ash to warm temperate rainforest to sub-tropical rainforest, all in a drop of a few hundred metres. This is the longest and most interesting track on the Springbrook plateau. It follows the base of the canyon cliffs to Goomoolahra Falls before descending into the mossy green depths of the rainforest. The track - named with the Aboriginal word Warrie, meaning "rushing water" - crosses several creeks and gullies. The track reaches the Meeting of the Waters, where all watercourses draining the canyon meet, then climbs up the western side of the gorge.
At the published coordinates is "Meeting of the Waters" which is a great spot to stop for lunch. Here you will find a sign which you must use to find GZ.
The final cache location (GZ) is:
S 28 1A.EBC
E 153 1C.DCA
Where:-
A= The number of arrows on the sign.
B= The number of kilometers to to the Tallanbana picnic ground.
C= The number of "A"s on the sign.
D= The number of "W"s on the sign.
E= The number of "C"s on the sign.
In the logbook you'll find a number which you'll need to find our "Herbz Challenge" cache (visit link)
