Section 1 of the Trail starts at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station and extends west for 23.9km to Simpsons Gap. Look for the Larapinta Trail shelter on the left as you drive into the Telegraph Station. This is where the walk starts from.
ALTERNATIVELY:
The BEST way to access this cache is from the Old Stuart Highway – just look for the big ‘Welcome to Alice Springs’ sign on the (new/real) Stuart Highway, stop and do the two caches near the sign, then follow the dirt road near the sign into the Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve. Travel north along the bumpy old highway for a few hundred metres and then park at the Larapinta Trail Sign and walk in.
The cache itself is a round 20cm biscuit tin, with a log, swaps and a pen.
