This Virtual Cache is located on O'Reilly's famous Tree Top Walk. You will enjoy a short walk through a canopy of flowering and fruiting trees covered by vines, whilst you explore the orchids and ferns surrounded by the many birds and animals that inhabit the tree tops.
The Tree Top Walk is a unique and innovative structure that gives visitors what can only be described as an exhilarating experience and a chance to observe life in the rainforest canopy at close range.
Peter O’Reilly was the driving force behind the concept and construction (started in 1987) of the 180-metre long and 15-metre high environmentally friendly structure. It boasts native support timbers, not steel or foreign materials and was tirelessly crafted on steep terrain with every supporting pole, cable, turnbuckle, rope and timber board installed with passion and a desire to share the rainforest with everyone.
Interpretative signs are dotted along the path giving walkers some interesting facts about the wildlife that call this rainforest home.
Two observation decks have been constructed in a Strangler Fig above the walk way, the highest one being 30 metres (110 feet) above the ground. You will need to visit this tree to claim this Virtual Cache.
The attraction is free of charge and there is no age or height restrictions. However, parental guidance of young children during the climbing aspect of the activity is recommended.
To claim Virtual Cache:
1) Count the number of rungs on each of the 2 ladders.
2) Take a photo/selfie of yourself* at the top of the tree showing the ladder or the view.
3) Send an email to "nnn@herbz.computer" where nnn = number of rungs on bottom ladder x number of rungs on top ladder.
(Yes - it's definitely .computer - not .com for the email)
Enter your caching name and the date in the email subject field. You will shortly receive a reply giving you permission to log the cache along with a few more facts about the Tree Top Walk.
Enjoy!
