Rach2: Stopped by for maintenance, but path is so badly maintained and there are trees down I thought it would be safer to archive.

Geocache Description:

Stop and wander through the beautiful Shannon forest.


Cache is a mint container with pencil. Should be an easy find. I've left a detailed hint in case of GPS dramas.

This cache is located at a Quokka hideout in the beautiful Shannon.

The Scenic Walk trail is a short distance (2.5km) from the camp grounds to the day use area.

Along the way spend some time in this lookout. There are many bird species as well as Quokkas (Setonix brachyurus) to be seen. Numbers have been recovering in response to fox baiting. The mainland quokka is a shy creature unlikely to be seen during the day.

Look for tunnel-like passages in the undergrowth. These are made by the quokkas as they move through the dense ground cover in their search for food and water. Quokkas graze on grass and young shoots of native plants.
