After a sunny day of Geocaching I headed to the Vonda Youngman Community Centre to donate some clothes in the charity bin. It was then I noticed a perfect place for a hide. Quick park and grab - utilising the bins nearby to empty your car of rubbish (great excuse if seen by a muggle). There isn't many caches on the "local" side of the mountain so this place seemed perfect.
The Vonda Youngman Community Centre hosts hundreds of events each year and thousands of people pass through its doors. From fairs, functions, classes and events - STEALTH REQUIRED AT TIMES!
The Natural History Association which was formed in 1975 by concerned and far sighted locals to assist the National Parks and Wildlife Service in protecting the parks and providing interpretation and education about the environmental heritage. The association was started thanks to the work of Dr John Youngman, John Johnstone, the then Parks Ranger and the help of early members. Early members ran many educational programs including information tours of the Tamborine Mountain parks as several were trained honorary park rangers.
Originally the Tamborine Mountain Visitor Information Centre was developed and run by the Natural History Association. The first building was a slab hut built from old sleepers in the park. Then with help from Council and the dynamic Dr Vonda Youngman, we constructed the present brick building with much local and voluntary labour. (I assume this is why the community centre is now named after Vonda Youngman) - more information available here: http://naturalhistory.org.au/tmsite/
Cache is painted green camo glass jar placed amidst the garden bed wall.
