Cache located near Ngumban rest area on the road between Fitzroy Crossing & Halls Creek. Shouldn't be a difficult cache to find, just watch your footing as you get close to it. The average adult should be able to handle the small descent & I suspect the older kids could do it even easier!
The cache is a white plastic cylinder. It contains a rubber ball, map tacks, key ring, scented burner block, Fremantle badge, & a pair of shoe laces. Travelling from Fitzroy Crossing, turn right into the Ngumban rest area & follow the track to the summit. Drive past the shaded picnic table & park at the end of the track. Follow a bush trail for 50 metres or so & then veer left at a lone tree & out to a rocky knoll (as opposed to the grassy one). At the knoll, clamber down the left-hand side & around to the right to find yourself at the base of a small rock face. The cache is secreted here. Watch your footing on the descent as it can be slippery. I think there is bauxite here as the pebbles are characteristically rounded like I believe bauxite to be. A large well-fed Dingo calmly watched me place the cache from about sixty metres or so. I kept an eye on him in case I was next on the menu but he trotted off after a short time. This area is starkly beautiful & in the middle of absolutely nowhere, thus the name Erehwon ("nowhere" spelt backwards for the uninitiated). In my excitement to place the cache I forgot to write in the logbook. D'oh! Maybe the meeting with the Dingo threw me but maybe it is more likely I was keen to get my lunch back at the car. Yeah, that must have been it.... Perhaps the first person to find this cache might do me a favour & write a couple of introductory lines on Team OrrClans behalf? Thanks in anticipation.
