This cache is one of three caches placed along the (former) Gunner’s Walk at North Head, Manly. The whole walk is 2.7km long. It starts at the Gatehouse Visitor Centre at North Head Sanctuary.
Download this Visitor Guide to familiarise yourself with the area and learn a bit of history too. This guide used to be available at the Visitor's Centre and it shows the route of the Gunner's Walk. You can also download it in jpg form from links provided below but, unfortunately, they aren't great resolution so you'll need very good eyesight to use them.
Parking at the Visitor Centre is free. To get there, drive up Darley Road past Manly Hospital and through the Parkhill Arch. Continue driving a short distance and turn left at Gunner Road, where you’ll see the “Welcome to North Head” sign.
While walking to the geozone, trust your GPS. There used to be signs for the “Gunner’s Walk”, but they have been removed since the cache was first placed.
The fourteenth point of interest on the Gunner's Walk is the Obstacle Course. This is where some of the Army's physical training took place. You can still see the remains of it today. After the Obstacle Course, you will pass through an opening in the stone wall. To your left you will see the Water Tower. Your GPS device will be pointing towards the right, where you will find this cache.
There's not a lot of foliage that can be damaged in the geozone, since it's mostly tall trees and there's not a lot of undergrowth. You probably want to avoid the bushes and tall grasses as much as possible, since ticks can be a problem - as is the case in many bush areas in Sydney!
The cache is a 1 litre cylindrical container and contains five dollars for the first-to-find. Please replace the cache and camo exactly where you found it (unless someone else didn’t do this and it is in the open).
Please contact us if the cache is in need of maintenance and we will fix the problem soon. Please report DNF. No spoilers please.
Congratulations to the.hunter1 for being the first-to-find!
