A short walk up a track to the summit of a hill, with a nearby vantage point, that offers a different view of Cape Hillsborough and surrounds.
Find the start of the track at the southern end of the bay. Then there is a 15min (800m) walk to 'Turtle Rock Lookout' (at least thats what we used to call it!). From there the cache is located a short distance away, at the summit of the hill (the track is by far the easiest way to get there). Be a bit wary here though, while the area is covered with large rocks and outcrops - not all are firm and stable underfoot.
The cache itself is a small ammo box containing the usual assortment of stuff.
** Well that was the original listing when the cache was published - amendments 4/06/2016
The track is currently in good condition, but condition may vary, dependant on time of year, and maintenance that has been performed. At times the walk has been a slightly harder ascent, with wash outs and fallen trees to clamber over as well. But still an obvious trail to follow. The main trail leads to a large granite boulder, which offers the views. The cache itself is closer to the actual summit.
There is another container (small red plastic bottle) under some rocks adjacent to a larger boulder near the summit ... THIS IS NOT THE CACHE LISTED HERE ... this listing is an ammo box, approximately 10 to 12 meters further away, on the other side of the very top.
When placed, the area around GZ was a lot more open, with more rock and less vegetation present. The original hint is no longer relevant, so additional information has been included in the hint, to help those who come looking.
