Geocache Description:


I was with my Dad, blacklegend, again today and we were taken to this spot by my boyfriend, Corey.  He knew of a huge tree near a great fishing spot, so why not check it out.  When we got here, I couldn't believe the size of the tree, neither could my dad.  It is huge, easily the biggest around its base that I have seen while living up here.

We did a bit of research on it, and a tree of this size would be somewhere around 800 to 1200 years old, so I have gone in the middle, and called it "The 1000 year tree"....  Pretty neat place to discover.  The tree is a River Red Gum - "Eucalyptus Camaldulensis"

I have placed the cache in a small hole in the tree on the river side.  It is a short climb up the side, but should be ok for most.  I have made the Terrain a 4 due to this climb and the roughness of the tracks on the way in.  A 2wd may struggle to make it.  It is not a long walk if you car can't.

PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT AND BE CAREFUL OF SNAKES HERE.  WE ALSO SAW SOME BEES HIGHER UP THE TREE.  THE RIVER IS ALSO CLOSE, SO BE CAREFUL WITH LITTLE KIDS.

I hope you enjoy this spot.  We all enjoyed placing the cache here.
