Geocache Description:


There are many hills in Canberra, some more hidden than others. 

One Tree Hill and Oak Hill hold some of the greatest (many would say THE greatest) views over northern Canberra. However, they are often pushed aside by places like Mount Ainslie, Mount Majura or Black Mountain. Mostly because One Tree Hill and Oak Hill aren't as easy to get to, there is no vehicle access to them and they are hidden away on a small track along the Canberra Centernary Trail. 

(I mean a lot of geocachers may have come across them because of the giant power trail ;) )

You will most likely have to do this cache in two seperate trips. There are shortcuts you can take (at least for Oak Hill), but the surrounding property around One Tree Hill is Private Property and Trespassers will be Prosecuted. My Best Bet is to go from Hall for One Tree Hill (I believe there is another shortcut though) and use the Golden Sun Moth walk from Bonner for Oak Hill 

To log this cache you simply have to take a photo from BOTH (not one!) of the Hills and attach it to your online log. Make sure at least one photo from each hill contains the view over the CITY AND something that identifies you (Yourself, Your Name on Something, Pathtag, etc). Minimum of two photos required to verify you were there, one from Oak Hill and one from One Tree Hill, also, you have to be at the TOP, not halfway up! Feel free to add extra photos as long as you include the mandatory ones.

Enjoy! :D
