Although it was an easy ascent, there were quite a few 'cactus' (thistles) around. Of course when I told Exploder Jr. to look out for them he turned to look at me and walked right into one! For the rest of the climb he sat on my shoulders. I let Exploder Jr. christen the spot and thus it forever came to be known as Mt Sickamickamicka.

In honor of that day, I have decided to place a cache here with a little help from Exploder Jr. who decorated the container. My hope is that Exploder Jr. will get further enjoyment out of reading the logs of those that visit our spot.
The cache is hidden approx 50m from the 'summit'. It may not seem like much on the way, but there are actually some cracking 360 degree views to be had from the 'summit', with views to Mt. Tennent, Tuggeranong Hill, Point Hut Crossing, the Murrumbidgee River, that tall clock thing in Tuggeranong town centre etc.
For the first few finders there's some extra special swaps from a recent overseas work trip.
