Hidden Valley Reserve Wherigo Cartridge v1.0
What is Wherigo?
Wherigo is a toolset for creating and playing GPS-enabled adventures in the real world. By integrating a Wherigo experience, called a cartridge, with finding a geocache, the geocaching hunt can be an even richer experience. Among other uses, Wherigo allows geocachers to interact with physical and virtual elements such as objects or characters while still finding a physical geocache container. A Wherigo-enabled GPS device is required to play a cartridge. Learn more at Wherigo.com.
To find a Wherigo Cache, you need an app that has the ability to play Wherigo cartridges. The following apps have this capability:
iPhone
Wherigo® - Wherigo specific application
Android
WhereYouGo - Wherigo specific application
Geooh Go - Geocaching application with Wherigo cartridge functionality
These apps allow you to play interactive game cartridges in the real world. Explore new locations, solve puzzles, or experience an interactive fictional story in the real world using only a GPS-enabled device. See step-by-step instructions.

Let's take a walk inside the Hidden Valley Reserve.
This reserve really is hidden away from it all. It protects a remnant of the original gum forest that would have been present throughout the Tugun/Currumbin Area. The forest includes an endangered regional ecosystem which is described as blackbutt forest or "Eucalyptus pilularis open forest on coastal metamorphics and interbedded volcanics".
Approximately 720 metres of recreation trail within the reserve provides a connection to the Currumbin Border Track which traverses the land along the New South Wales (NSW) / Queensland border (managed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries). The Hidden Valley Reserve trail is suitable for nature enthusiasts, bushwalkers, trail runners and mountain bike riders.
Whilst on the trail keep your eyes open to see vulnerable glossy black-cockatoos (Calyptorohynchus lathami), short-beaked echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus), swamp wallabies (Wallabia bicolor) and numerous tree hollows that house sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) and brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula).

Most of the tracks in this area are not on maps and have multiple connection points so be aware that there is a chance you could take a wrong turn to/from GZ which will add time.
