This cache is located adjacent to the 3km marker along Section 1 of the world famous Larapinta Trail. The Larapinta Trail is 223km long and consists of 12 stages, stretching from Alice Springs to Mount Sonder, the fourth highest mountain in central Australia.
Section 1 of the Trail starts at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station and extends west for 23.9km to Simpsons Gap. It's a fairly easy day walk (takes me about 5-6 hours, but most people seem to take about 8-9hrs), which takes you into some spectacular country. To do this cache, you'll only be walking for approximately 2km out along Section 1 of the Larapinta Trail. Make sure you take the Larapinta Trail turn after you've visited the old cemetery (and picked up the Dead Centre #1 cache!), rather than the Trig Hill Walk.
This cache is named for its interesting container. There is a pen inside the container. There’s room for skinny swaps only and small geocoins.
