Geocache Description:

Amongst the forest, under a canopy of mountain, tree ferns and by the cascading creek this cache requires a minor diversion off track and a creek crossing.

*** The FTF suggested that the coordinates are a bit off- See the log entry from The Welder. I consistently measured the same coordinates but if you think that The Welders results are closer then please drop me a message. Around here the signal appears to be inconsistent by being in a steepish valley *** Barney 123

The cascades are a welcome place to sit on a warm afternoon as the sun settles in the west.  In winter the walk is a bit slippery in places and crossing the creek  needs a bit of care.

 

This cache is just off Cascade track between  Olinda falls and Barbers Road- If you are in the area there quite a few caches not far from here.

The bush around this track is quite steep but the track follow a creek line.

Keep your ears and eys open for wildlife - lots of kookas, galahs, cockatoos, lyrebirds frequent this area. Nearby you may spot a swamp wallaby grazing the more open areas and roadsides near dusk and dawn.

The tree ferns off the west side of the track are very old- one of the ferns is over 10 meters high. The mountain ash's further up hill are probably 200 + years old.

On these roads watch out for the wombats at night.

 

Please do not attempt this cache on windy stormy or hot days ( eg Total Fire ban days)
