Geocache Description:

This cache is one of a series in the Palm Island Group.

Brisk Island known as Culgarool by the Aboriginal locals is a small island close to three others. So close in fact to Falcon that they are one at low tide, joined by a fringing reef. Do not try to sail between them as you are likely to run-aground. At low tide there is a sand spit between the two island that provides access. From there it is 450m walk to GZ.


You will need a boat and favourable winds and tides to get to the island. Your walk will take you past more signs of civilisation until you get to some rocks which you will need to climb to get to GZ. From here you can enjoy stunning views over the reef before looking for a small black Sistema containing a log book and pencil.

There are ten islands of the Greater Palm group in the jurisdiction of the Palm Island Aboriginal Shire Council:

Curacoa (Noogoo or Inoogoo), Fantome (Eumilli), Great Palm or Palm Island (Bwgcolmen), Havannah, Brisk (Culgarool), Eclipse (Garoogubbee), Esk (Soopun), Barber (Boodthean), Falcon (Carbooroo) and Fly

Plus two islands in the Hinchinbrook jurisdiction, Orpheus (Goolboddi) and Pelorus (Yanooa) or North Palm Island.

All 12 islands now have a cache to find to encourage your visit.

Congratulations to Karicka for being the FTF.
