Mount Cooke is the highest point on the Darling Scarp and is 582 metres above sea level. It was named after William Ernest Cooke, Western Australia's first Government Astronomer.
After spending the morning hiking up and back and finding the other 2 geocaches here I thought this would be a great spot to add another. While here I witnessed a couple of Eagles catching the wind blowing up the eastern side of the range. The looked carefree, just gliding around looking for lunch. The must have only been 100m or so above us as the looked huge! You could see them scanning all below them. Anyway, that gave me the idea for the cache name.
Should be an easy find, it's only metres from the track. In fact about 5 metres from a 'Bibbulmun track' marker. There's a couple of photo's attached showing exactly where the cache is. It's currently under a small flat rock as cover/camo. Please replace this once the signing duties are finished.
Cache contains a log (in a plastic snaplock bag), a small bouncy ball, and a pathtag for FTF. There is no pen/pencil ... but what sort of geocacher heads bush without one!!
Here's an handy link to a website all about how to get up and down from Mt Cooke, there's even a .gpx file you can download with waypoints along the track. I've also added a coord of a good place to park.
