Charles Archer explored the Fitzroy and Dawson River areas looking for suitable grazing lands in 1853-4. He tendered for the Farris Run in Gracemere and travelled overland with livestock to arrive in 1855. His brother Colin was to bring much needed supplies by sea and the two met when the ketch "Ellida" sailed up the coast from Maryborough and along the Fitzroy River. This became the site of Rockhampton.
Mount archer is approximately 9 km north-east of Rockhampton's city center and standing 604 meters above sea level, you cant miss it.
Featuring spectacular views of the Rockhampton region you will discover deeply incised valleys, dry rainforests, fleeting glimpses of forest inhabitants and feasting cockatoos, all of which feature strongly in a visit to Mount Archer National Park.
Mount Archer National Park protects bushland remnants in the Berserker Ranges, a scenic backdrop to Rockhampton. The park covers 4250 hectares of open forest and woodland communities dominated by eucalypts, with a large pocket of dry rainforest in the deeply incised Moores Creek valley. The dry rainforest communities are areas of high conservation value and include several plant species with restricted distributions.
You are looking for a camo plastic jar with an "official geocache" sticker on it. Make sure you conceal it well once you're done, as it appears that young muggles often like to make their way to an area just near here.
Take extreme caution when retrieving this cache. While a clear path leads to the hide, on one side is a 20 meter cutting and on the other is a 60 meter drop off.
