Geocache Description:

A 200ml sistema hidden in the memory of a fallen giant

This now fallen Giant used to hang over the path of the Pt Elizabeth Walkway.
We used to sit the kids up on top of the tree and take photos. It was a great marker to let us know how long we had to go to get to the point.
I thought it was a great feature that you had to walk underneath, but I guess DOC didnt want it to become a safety risk and they cut it off when they started doing work on the track.
This cache has been placed so you can still stop and see the awesomeness of this once giant tree:)

Reception was off +/-7m for obvious reasons but you will definitely know it when you see it.

We encourage you to grab a friend or family, pack a picnic lunch and grab some caches on the way to the Point.
Other caches along the track are:
What! No Seat?
Point Elizabeth Natives
Seal Watch
Picnicing at the Point

I might try to dig up a photo of the good old days:D
