Geocache Description:

This is not a long walk, but there are no marked trails, and some sections traverse through thick scrub.



You will need to follow the waypoints given to find GZ.

Mount Taylor Conservation Park was dedicated in 1970 primarily for the conservation of the rare Teppers Trigger Plant (Stylidium tepperanum).  These plants are quite fascinating – they have a touch sensitive column hidden underneath the petals which flicks over when an unsuspecting insect lands. We saw some of these plants in flower along the roadside near the park boundary.

However, we think there is something more interesting in this park which you will find near GZ. 

Bring a torch and/or headlamp (backup) and we will leave it up to you how much you explore.  Please be careful and sensible, and DO NOT DO THIS CACHE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO BEES.

 

Park at the parking co-ordinates, and walk to RP1.  At this point, follow the fence line until you reach RP2, where you will need to make a left hand turn up the hill towards RP3.  Sat loc could be difficult – but there is a rarely used track to follow.  This should lead you to GZ.

Please take care on KI roads, most are unsealed and be especially careful at dusk/dawn/night time as the wildlife is abundant and often on the roads.
