Kampung Stulang Darat is one of those oddly common areas in Johor Bahru which is only a short distance from major activity centres - in this case the CBD area is less than 900m - but is practically inaccessible on foot. Getting to this cache from the CIQ, which is 600m away in a straight line, is an obstacle-strewn 2.5km walk via the inner ring road from the north, or a slightly less obstructed 2km walk via the inner ring road from the south. For the intrepid, the south approach via the elevated walkway to Princess Cove is the better option on foot.
The inaccessibilty results in an almost rural feel to the area despite the central location. Just across the road from the cache are some pens with attentive and curious goats housed in them. The goats are allowed out to graze around 6-7pm on most evenings, making it challenging to retrieve the cache at those times.
Back around the 1970s or 1980s when the nearby apartments were built (70s, judging from the beatifully retro facade), this was a quiet, green, low density, secluded getaway for the wealthy, and not too much has changed today. Things may change in the near future as the paved outdoor parking lots (those 1970s developments were less car-oriented and didn't include off-street parking) offering 7 ringgit per day parking is an extremely unproductive use of such potentially prime land and always a precursor to future development. The parking lot north of the retro apartments adjacent to the cache was forested until 2019, and other sites around the area are being cleared, likely gearing up for much-needed densification considering the close proximity to the massive land reclamation at Princess Cove to the south, Bukit Senyum to the north and the CBD and CIQ to the west.
