Geocache Description:


Joe Creek Picnic Area and Nawulbinbin Walk

Don't miss this one! Look for the turn off to the picnic area 10 km west of the Victoria River Roadhouse. The 2 km access road is unsealed but ok for 2WD.

The drive in and the picnic area itself are already spectacular and as the cache is hidden at the picnic area you can limit your experience to this already worthy vista, but the walk will leave you speechless. The 1.7 km loop walk takes you up the slope to the base of the escarpment cliffs.

It follows that cliff and eventually turns down again and leads you back to the car park along the valley.

The whole slope is covered in Livistona palms and the higher you get the lusher the vegetation becomes.

Once you reach the cliffs you are walking in the shade of unexpectedly dense tropical vegetation. Ferns are nestled in cracks of the wall where water is still trickling down at the very end of the dry season.

From the deep cool shade you look out over the sun drenched valley to the dramatic escarpment cliffs on the other side.
Awesome.

The walk is moderately difficult. It's steep in parts, involves some climbing over big rocks and you need to be aware of loose rocks when negotiating the slopes. Take some water and take your time. It's not the kind of scenery that you will see every day...

Please be vigilant of muggles when retrieving this cache and be sure to return the cache to it's hide making sure that it is concealed. Enjoy.
