This earthcache is located in the Rocky Gully Reserve near Murray Bridge. The coordinates will lead you to a large outcrop of rocks, most of these rocks are made up of gneiss and mica-schist. The rocks here have been formed by massive amounts of heat and pressure. There is a pattern to these rocks and it comes about when various minerals or constituents within the rock have been layered over each other again and again.
You should park at the parking coordinates given. Then take a leisurely stroll along the Federation Walking Trail until you reach the Trailhead, co-ordinates S 35 06.507, E 139 13. 124. At this point, please take the left fork and continue on to the earthcache cooordinates.
At the listed coordinates you will find large rocks including a large overhanging rock.
