A small mint tin is hidden in between the North and South lookouts on Gan Gan Hill, replacing an archived cache from a few months ago. I strongly reccommend taking the car up to the car park - the way up is otherwise one long, steep hike! However, the road access is only opened between 5am - 9pm, so arrival outside these times may require you to park at the roundabout and walk the rest of the way. Bring a camera and maybe some binoculars to view the beautiful vistas! (And take a pic next to the whale at the bottom of the hill!). I've started it off with a FTF coin and some other small goodies. Log is a Rite-In-The-Rain one, so should be pretty hardy. Some stealth is required - particularly during the daylight hours and holidays, as this lookout is quite a popular stop!

At a height of 160 metres, Gan Gan Hill is Port Stephens’ highest and most accessible lookout. Experience commanding views of the whole of Port Stephens, right through to Newcastle in the south and the Myall Lakes to the north.
The Gan Gan Lookout is truly one of the highlights of the area. The panorama is breathtaking, especially at dusk. It is possible to look south to the opposite side of the peninsula, south-west down to the stacks of Newcastle and the cargo vessels in its harbour, west to the mountain boundary, north-west over Soldiers Point, spanning eastwards over Hawks Nest, the two gigantic headlands that loom over the Port’s entrance, Nelson Head and Nelson Bay.
