Geocache Description:

This multi cache has been designed to highlight some huts of the high country.  In order to locate the final location of the cache you will need to visit four hut sites and collate the required information for GZ. The starting co-ordinates is the 2WD parking area.


We recommend that this cache be completed over two hikes:

Hike #1: Edmondson Hut and Johnston Hut - approx. 12klm return

Hike #2: Kelly Hut and Fitzgerald Hut - approx. 11klm return

Of course those who are fit and well prepared may choose to hike over a period of a day.  Certain portions of the journey can be completed by bicycle.

The cache location can be found at:

S 36  5A.BCD

E147 1E.FGH


Where:

A = Edmondson Hut - last number in the phone number (refer framed letter, ignore the Extension No)

B = Fitzgerald Hut - number of letters in first word above mantle piece

C = Kelly Hut - 5th number on green box on wall

D = Kelly Hut - number of windows

E = Johnston Hut - 2nd letter in surname stamped into the steel latches on internal door of public access hut (where A=1......Z=26)

F = Edmondson Hut - 3rd number in bottom postcode

G = Fitzgerald Hut - number of poles on coat rack inside the hut

H = Johnston Hut - last number in PO Box 52H

We would appreciate that no spoiler photos are included in your post as that would ruin the fun.


Be Prepared

The best months for walking are from November through to April, however, weather conditions can change rapidly, and snowfalls and blizzards can occur at any time of the year.  During the summer period, bushfires can also pose a threat so check the CFA website for updates prior to departure.

Be prepared with:

• Wind and waterproof jackets
• Warm clothing – hat, gloves, sunglasses, and strong footwear
• Food and water
• First aid kit and sunscreen
• Map and compass
• Check the weather forecast before departing
• Let someone know where you are going
• Mobile phone (reception in some areas)
