Mount Dick Summit Traditional Cache

This cache is hidden within the Mount Archer National Park, at the summit of Mount Dick, one of the mountains in the Berserker Range. Mount Dick stands 500 meters above sea level, rising sharply from the land around it.

The Darumbal Aboriginal people welcome you to their traditional country and ask that you respect and enjoy this special place.

There are a number of ways to approach this climb. I had studied some topographic maps before I tried and determined that the best way to get there was starting from Scholl Lane in Nerimberra. It worked out very well, with maintained fire trail leading two thirds of the way up. Here is a map of the course I took:

The (Berserker) Range is composed of a diverse group of mostly igneous rocks dating from the Devonian to Early Triassic Periods. It has its origins in the early Permian period around 275 million years ago, when the original segment of continental crust stretched and subsequently sagged, leading to the development of two faults and subsequent volcanic activity. Much of the rocky outcrops and peaks of elevated areas are composed of masses of rhyolite and dacite and known as Elliott Rhyolite. These masses then erode, with the deposits forming a dark grey material known as Sleipner Member. Not all the elevated areas are rhyolite; Mount Dick and Mount MacDonald, are mainly composed of breccia.
