Beaufoy Merlin's Lookout is south-west of town, past the Bald Hill Mine.
This town is a well-preserved gold mining ghost town which is now an important historic site. Surrounded by some rugged mountain and gorge country, it is 870 m above sea-level and 275 km north-west of Sydney. The roads were carved out in the 19th century and are still largely unsealed.
This trip is well worth the effort for some real Australian history.
The cache is a small metal ammo box container hidden from muggles under a stone cairn and should be easy to find once you're at Ground Zero. Hope you enjoy the area while you're there as we did. The views are quite special.
