Geocache Description:

The Fruit Loop Trail is a 26km geocaching circuit with a multiple caches which you should be able to find in a few hours. You could complete the circuit on your mountain bike or in a 2WD vehicle on reasonable country dirt roads; extra care may be required in a few places. There is no particular start or end point; it is a true circuit so you will finish back where you started from. The caches are NOT all the same size or style, most will be easy finds but some offer more of a challenge.

The chempedak, Artocarpus integer, grows naturally as a tree from Malaysia through the islands to New Guinea and is now cultivated in India and Queensland. The yellowish flesh surronding the seed can be eaten raw or cooked. It is often fried as fritters in Malaysia while the immature fruit is often use as a veegeetable in curries and stews. The knobbly skin is sometimes salted and eaten as a pickle in Borneo.
