The kids have been learning about the solar system so we thought it would be a good opportunity to create a cache series
This series goes through the bush walk in the Harker Reserve
We would suggest you read all of the caches in the series before beginning
The entire walk is around 2km (60 - 90 minutes) each way and you can continue onto the waterfall as well
During the winter months parts of the track can get muddy

This is the last cache in the series
