The cache is centred around three information boards/plaques within close proximity of the start coordinates. Information obtained will lead to to the cache's hidey hole. You will need to start at the white information board beside the bridge.

The cache is located a few hundred metres away at:
S 37°DE.(AB+8)C E 144° 0I.(FGH+34)
The cache can be accessed via the walking trail or the 4WD track, personally I recommend making it a round trip as each track provides a different perspective of the reserve and area. The 4WD track offers some good views of debris from the flood that wiped out the pedestrian bridge over the creek a few years ago.
Watch out for snakes and creepy crawlies whilst looking for the cache. Please trade fairly and ensure it's well hidden before departure. There are abandoned mines in the area so watch out for them.
Hope you enjoy my 41st cache and make sure you sample the mineral water whilst you're at the spring!
