How do I get there?
Telephone Box Junction is located on the Mount Stirling Road and is bitumen to this point. Beyond this point is the Circuit Road which was originally developed for logging but is now used recreationally.
The cache is accessible year around and is placed so it is sheltered from the weather and easy to retrieve without drawing too much attention to yourselves, the hint provided is very explicit for this reason.
