Geocache Description:

Another rock formation with a cache - this one is designed to draw cachers into the walking loop linked in below. I haven't done the full loop yet (done a bit of the northern and southern sections) but it's meant to be quite nice. The cache is located in a little gorge and is a nice spot for a rest.

The gorge is located on the Antimony Mine Track past GC1X979

Alert: You are about to download a file that contains further details needed to explore the area around this geocache. As the cache owner, I represent that this file is safe to download although it has not been checked by Groundspeak or by the reviewer for possible malicious content. Download this file at your own risk.

If anyone wants details on the tracks in the area look up www.bancoora.com under Lerderderg section and Antimony Mine section. Mountain bikes are allowed on the main fire trails including the mine trail down to the mine area. For walkers there is an unofficial loop walk continuing on from the mine trail - refer this website for a GPS download - (visit link) This section is not suitable for mountain bikes and is for walkers only.


Note: due to the gorge GPS may be limited. I took three points and averaged them so should be OK as they were very similar. The hint should get you to the cache.

Note: if you scramble up the hill opposite the rock face there are some good views up and down the valley.
