Flummin' Hell Central Plateau, Tasmania, Australia
By Horus & Yorick on 01-Mar-03. Waypoint GA0032

This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it. This is done to keep the Geocaching Australia clean and up to date.
If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.

Unfortunately, this cache looks like maintenance maybe required.

To ensure future finders have an enjoyable experience in both finding the cache and visiting the area, a check on this cache is recommended.

If the cache still seems to require maintenance within 28 days, Geocaching Australia will archive the cache to stop it appearing on cachers lists / PQ's.

area has changed so wp1 is likely to have gone

could not find wp1, we believe the area has changed like the previous post

My daughter offered to come geocaching with me and this was a Cache I had wanted to do but not on my own. I took her up on her offer and off we set even thought the weather conditions were not ideal. When we arrived at the carpark there were two other cars and then four motorcycles arrived. However then it started to snow. I was keen to find this old cache for the “old timers challenge “ cache. The boardwalk and steps looked like they had been a more recent improvement to the area. At WP1 it appears there is a new lookout as the coordinates took us to area where there is no longer a lookout but just some bolts in the rocks. We could not find any coordinates or blue bucket. We spent a bit of time looking around the rocks but came up empty handed. My companion was keen to get going as it was cold and misty and threatening to rain again. Disappointed I returned to the car but determined to come again better prepared.

This cache has been on our to do list for a while, very glad to have finally made it. We enjoyed our journey here on this beautiful day.

Many thanks Horus for publishing this cache for our enjoyment and adding to our geocaching experience.

Myself and Goose of GooseandEgg have wanted to do this cache for a while now but with it's out of the way location and weather dependant access plans of a nip and grab it while passing was out of the question
We had a planned overnighter in the North of the state to attend a CITO, this is when we figured would be our best chance of getting this cache without making a special trip for one cache.
Well after leaving Hobart at 6am we had headed North picking up a couple on the way we started our drive up into the hills, driving thur the clouds almost, we spotted a couple of broken views before we started to see snow at the side of the road and were both thinking maybe a 2WD is not the best idea for this cache.
Like so many good caches (for me anyway) it's more about the location and the journey with the find just a bonus, this is one of those, without caching and this cache in particular I would have never bothered to come to this out of the way place to see some mind opening views, I always take pictures of these types of locations but they never show what i remember seeing and feeling no matter how hi-res they are but I take them all the same if for nothing more than to show to 'normal' people what great views are out there, they wont know of the feelings they are missed just looking at pictures until they see it for themselves.
Anyway enough of my waffle, we made it to GZ after a great drive and only spotted one other car that surprised us to be honest, at GZ it was cold enough for large patches of snow to still be about on this spring day, we searched for a few minutes before we spotted the hide and were glad to add our names to the log.
We enjoyed even more great views on the way down from up here and it just topped the day off thank you so much to Horus who many many years ago placed this cache which has taken me to this great location.

This cache has been on the bucket list for a long, long time. In fairness, if it wasn't for Budgies Old School Challenge cache I may never have even looked at this. Stainless-steel-rat and I had decided to head up to Devonport for a CITO event so (as usual) planned a whole caching weekend with this being the 'pièce de résistance'.
We made an early start from the south with me picking him up just before 6am. After a few stops for various reasons along the way, we turned off onto the Lake MacKenzie Road for the start of this adventure.
Views were interesting but not vast. Being such a wet and misty day, looking down into the valleys was pretty much impossible due to cloud and fog. It seemed like we had climbed above a lot of it, although not quite all as it still rained up there.
After calculating where we needed to be, we enjoyed the journey to GZ as we were up on the edge of the snow line and let's face it, snow can turn any normal adult into a child for a brief moment or two. After turning the car around and finding a safe parking spot (just as well because there was other traffic.... One car went past and then back again!
We made our way gracefully over to GZ in the light drizzle, throwing the odd snowball for a bit of fun but it all soon got serious. We had not come all this way to not find the cache. We checked a few places before we hit the jackpot but were eventually rewarded with a well stocked cache. We didn't really care what was in there apart from the log book, and more importantly now OUR NAMES.
My nice car took a battering up here but survived this part of our weekend unscathed. SSR and I left unharmed too, just a little damp and cold.
Thanks Horus for this great old cache, it was a great adventure and I am truly grateful to be able to add this to my found list.

Great location for both Wps. Loved the area and the views and meeting French tourists at WP1. Such a pity that this cache is only in GCA and has not found its way into the main stream of caching. Surely it is time that past dramas are forgotten and caching becomes "caching" not someone's personal crusade!!!!!
TFTC - please make it available on world wide geocaching

Great logs BudgieTas and OldSaint - thanks for the report on the condition of WP1, if you are going back soon BudgieTas I would appreciate it if you took a replacement along, I don't get up that way very often.

I'm quite proud of this cache and it's good to see it is getting visitors still, last time I visited it was great reading through the log book, as 2y'stassies pointed out it is coming up on it's 10th anniversary and it is still is good condition.

Hi Horus and Yorik
An early morning rise had me meet Budgietas at 0630hrs this morning for a caching expedition in and around Chudleigh, Mole Creek, Caveside, Westmoreland, Gowrie Park, Sheffield and Latrobe; a change of transport in Launceston late in the evening; I arrived back at Huonville at 0030hrs.

This walk is tremendous, made better by having great company in Budge.
Arrived at the car park and walked the far better than expected track to waypoint 1. Saw the blue and wanted to abseil down but Budge wouldn't allow it! What a drop! Great views!!
Had to have two looks for the info as I missed it the first time; but the muggles delayed our finding it for some short period of time.
Once the info was gleaned and put into the GPS it was off with our French visitor along for the ride to GZ.
After copious amounts of searching the cache was to hand and our French visitor had found her first cache. The cache was found at 1534hrs. A great caching experience - thank you.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

Found this cache on a north west adventure to find one cache especially - Flummin Hell - But also visit an area I had not been to before. An enjoyable day with Oldsaint

Well where to start with this cache - firstly I must note that I hate heights - this is a very known fact. Anyway we drove up the site and past a car parked strangely on the road - a weird place, but continued up to the top and parked at the start of the short walk to the cache.

I had an additional item with me to hide enroute to the Waypoint (See GA4738) and therefore the first couple of hundred metres were a bit tough. We continued on and arrived at the site and almost immediately spotted the Blue box - not funny at all. I immediatelly removed myself from the platform and basically searched up to the platform. We had about 5 minutes before muggles arrived.

We talked to three people from the united states and a couple from the mainland. Also a single girl from France arrived. The first two groups moved off and we were talking to the girl who was not really looking at the view. As it turned out the car that was parked back down the road and had walked 12 kilometers up the road to this point. I think she was waiting for us to offer a lift back to the car. We did this, but said we had a small detour to make on the way. To this stage we had not found the coordinates, but Oldsaint checked a location for the second time himself and found the coordinates - almost faded away. They need replacement in the near future, as I have to return I will try to bring a replacement strip of tape.

Anyway we programmed the coordinates and set off to the GZ, with the French girl in tow. We arrived and searched and searched and searched. We had taken the "clamber up" to seriously and had gone a long way up the hill. Finally Old Saint found the cache. A great cache and the first for the French tagger on.

We returned to the car - thanks to the Hydro and drove back to the girl's car and let her out. It was 11.9 kilometers on the road, that's a long way up hill

TFTC and the great experience

This cache had been on our radar for some time but the description, especially of WP1, made us a little tentative. With another cache recently published in the area we decided that there had been enough procrastination and today was the day. We arrived at the carpark just as a motor home pulled up. Whilst they organised themselves, we hurried off to WP1 hoping to locate the waypoint before others arrived. We were amazed - we hadn't expected such a well made track - parts are even paved. After a short walk we got to the lookout and immediately started to search for WP1 - after all, we could enjoy the view when others arrived. At almost the same time one of us saw the container a little way off, the other found the coordinates in a more accessible location. So that we could get to the next step, we initially took the the easy way and recorded the coordinates. Just as we had finished writing down the coordinates, the couple from the motorhome arrived. They were international grey-nomads who had spent the last six years touring the world. Although from the UK, they have a motor home in the USA and swap motorhomes with others throughout the world to make travel affordable. We spent about 20 minutes with them admiring the spectcular view, identifying mountains in the distance and discussing good places to visit in Tasmania. We still had intentions of getting to the waypoint container (ideal conditions - fine, warm and no breeze) when a Queensland couple arrived. After spending a few minutes with them it became clear that the other two couples were going to stay at the lookout for some time. So we said our goodbyes and headed off to WP2. Thanks to the Hydro, access to the area of GZ was straightforward. Our GPS settled very quickly and when it read 0m we looked in one particular spot and saw the edge of the container. Very accurate coordinates had led to the cache being located within a minute - a great surprise as we had mentally prepared ourselves for a long, systemmatic search. The cache and contents were in excellent condition. It s a tribute to Horus and Yorick that this cache has remained in excellent condition for nearly ten years (10th anniversary on 1 March). It just shows that a well chosen hide and a good cache container will survive. Thanks Horus and Yorick for this outstanding cache and, more importantly, for brining us to the lookout for the magnificent views over part of the central Plateau. Flummin' Hell is one of the "must do" caches in Tasmania. PS - we will return at some stage and see if we can get to the WP1 container.

As we were heading up to Lake McKenzie to spend New Year ’s Eve in peace and tranquillity we figured we would grab this one on the way past. Last time we were up here we didn’t make it as far as the lake and had to tow some poor guy in a pickup out of a drift. No snow this time though. We found the blue container and the clue to Wp2 pretty quickly as we were familiar with the area and correctly decided that it wouldn’t be in a place of danger.

While scrambling around looking for the cache at Wp2 I very nearly stood on a beautiful little tiger snake basking in the sun, a lot lighter in colour than the black lowland ones we get at home, he quickly slipped under one of the many rocks. The lizards were bigger here than I have seen before but that’s not surprising if they were feeding on all the mosquitoes, and of course the mosquitoes were feeding on us. This is the first cache I have come very close to giving up on, not just because we couldn’t find it but because we didn’t think we were going to survive it. After looking for a good 20 mins, applying all the clues, hints and wandering gps without luck we returned to the camper for a drink, a few more gallons of Aeroguard and a blood transfusion.

Upon return we found it very quickly thankfully.

I certainly won’t forget this one for a while as I am now like a translation of War and Peace into Braille.

Had my eye on this cache for awhile, it being on top of the GCA Most Recommended list...

The day was both warm and cool at the same time. Hot, blow-torch sun combined with a chill breeze, which was peculiar. The short walk to the lookout was pretty; the view was nice and clear and there was even a little bit of snow on a couple of the distant peaks. Hell must have been pretty chilly judging by the icy breath issuing from Lucifer's ol' gullet. It was the kind of view you normally have to trudge several hours up a mountain for (instead it was a long drive up a bumpy corrugated road!) After reading the previous logs, we were all fired up for a tricky search, but I found WP1 in the first place I looked (flummin' hell, it was fairly obvious!) Bemused at the numerous other people who had difficulty here... We spotted the infamous blue bucket, too... ha, but no, weren't inclined to retrieve that one.

Then it was off to WP2. The flume was quite interesting: never seen anything like it before. Initially drove past GZ assuming it was closer to the lake and had to backtrack... then the 'ah' moment. When we climbed out of the car and got to GZ, it was a bit of a sinking feeling. This wasn't going to be as easy as WP1. And it wasn't. And that sun was hot. But we didn't want to give up; there were just SO many hiding places!!

At last we found the thing, and could sit down and sign the log with much relief.

This cache was well designed; I liked that it was a multi-cache incorporating different points of interest. Not quite the super-duper-awesome experience we expected due to all the hype and recommendations, etc. But it was nice and worth doing. Thanks.

Our second attempt at this one. Don't know how we could have missed the co-ords last time but since doing 'Dam you Gordon' we had a much better idea what to look for. Almost gave up again and then I found them. We had both looked in that exact same place twice. They are a bit faded now and the camouflage is quite good.

Onto the cache location and we almost gave up there as well. My GPS was all over the place and in the end we just started looking in the obvious places. eventually we found it and finally finished this cache off by logging it. The sunset was pretty amazing as we left for our trip back to Launy.

This is a FANTASTIC cache. We did it while it was snowing! This was quite a novelty for us as we are from SA. When we arrived at the carpark, we realised we didn't have the co-ords in our GPS So we looked everywhere along the walk for the blue container - eventually we spotted it but couldn't quite reach it, so resorted to looking elsewhere! Bingo - and then we were off to find the final point. We were pretty sure this wouldn't just be a box under some random tree, and we were not disappointed. What an interesting area - Hydro electricity is certainly not an option where we live. Thank you so much for this most enjoyable experience.

This cache is not just a cache, it's an experience! And one that everyone should do at some point in their caching career!!! (Despite it taking me so long to finally get to it). Took me a good while to find the info at WP1, and on about my 3rd closer look I came up with the goods! Very satisfying - and the location of course is awesome! Worthwhile taking the long drive in. Mozzies were having a field day though. Was starting to wonder at the range of possible hiding places at GZ but then there it was! A memorable cache, and a definite caching highlight! A top cache, thanks, Horus and Yorick.

Flummin' Hell this one was interesting. Took us back to a place we have visited a few times before. Have some great photographs of this area from our daughter's photography assignment from college. Spent a fair while finding WP1 and when we did we couldn't believe we had missed them earlier. We thought we had looked in all the places possible to look. Sometimes it pays to have a second go at things. The wind wasn't happening at the WP today. One other time we threw a cup of water over the edge and was amazed at how it hovered and then came back over our heads. This really is one of the best spots in Tasmania. Unfortunately it is a bit too far off the beaten track for most people. The cache was a quick find and then we headed off to Lake MacKenzie for a look. Thanks for bringing us back here again.

wow whee what a place. Well worth the visit even though we could not find the cache or the first way point. The wind was howling up the mountain and we were snowed on very briefly. The kids loved it especially when they were throwing small rocks over the side and watch either dance in the wind or even rise vertically!!!
A great place, many thanks.

2008-10-04 19:20 Well, next time I will know not to do this one in the dark!
Found wp1 alternate OK and could see the bottom and along the valley a little - there was mist further away but could make out that it was dangerous!
The cache proved more elusive to find and was starting to think I'd never find it in the dark, but I did.
TLNL, thanks Horus.
Find #5 on my "You're Missing Out" tour.
Swampy

Amazing to go in the snow. Great short walk up to the lookout and a fair bit of searching for the blue container but that was given up in favor of the alternative positioned coordinates.
We were lucky at GZ as with the amount of snow it could have been impossible to find the cache.
Most impressive place will have to come back in summer.
Thanks Horus & Yorick

A very enjoyable cache.
No sign of anything remotely blue at WP1 but luckily we had done “Damn you Gordon†so we were able to find one of the backups.
Finding this cache in the knee deep snow made it even more enjoyable. We were well prepared and equipped for the conditions and agreed that we would definately come back.
The area was not what we were expecting and the camera got a real workout.
Thanks Horus and Yorick

As part of the Northern invasion of Tasmania group our illustrious team leader Embi led the way for this cache.

The day was cold and windy and we arrived at the carpark to be greeted by fine particles of snow falling but not enough decorate the ground.

It was not long before we arrived at the lookout to be greeted by what can only be described as the best view and a fantastic location for a cache in Tasmania.

As a group assault the coordinates for the final location was found by the bravest of cachers and we set off for the final location that could prove to be just as interesting to reach.

We arrived at the final location and our youngest member Mini Cacher One was first out of our vehicle and headed for GZ without a GPS to join the search. Whilst we joined in and searched where the GPS suggested Mini Cacher One said here it is and the cache was found without any problems or a GPS.

The cache was logged by all and we set off for more Tassie caching adventures.

Many thanks to Horus for what can only be described as one of the best caches we have done.

Regards Mr.Coffee and the “WOW, Awesome, Fantastic, Inspiring, Stunning, Excellent cache location, Highly Recommended†Clan.

Post Note added, I understand the concept of Geocaching Australia and support its ideas and beliefs however this location is one of the best in Tasmania and if it wasn’t for local knowledge we would not have visited this cache. As most tourists like us, we only have limited time and again like most overseas visitors we generated our caches to find from GC.com. It is a pity this cache is not listed on GC.com as overseas visitors are missing out on one of the best locations to visit in the ever changing ruggedness of Tasmania.

I do not wish in any way to offend this cache owner or get caught up in any political agenda’s but this cache deserves to be listed on GC.com. As one prominent cacher in Australia suggests “it is the Journey†as this cache is not about cache find numbers or statistics. This cache is about a Fantastic location and it would be a pity to see visiting geocachers missing out on it due to limited time whilst visiting. If this post note offends in any way I will be happy to remove it.

Found by Mary & David at 1445. Continued on after our own private tour of Marakoopa cave. The coldest lunch spot ever. Only the brave ventured on to the lookout while the girls idly chatted to each other by UHF - some sudden comments by the boys on hand-helds showed that there were eaves-droppers just as the true cofessions started. Stunning views despite the howling icy gale blowing up the cliff face. An interesting drive to GZ followed. TNLN. Our thanks to Horus.

Wow, what a fantastic place! Embi decided to take us on a tour of the area while on Holiday in Tas. We're so glad he did, even if it was so cold it was sleeting and so windy we nearly took off!! After being told we'd have to abseil down to the cache, we were finally given the real truth and had to coordinates in hand. Great cache in an amazing spot!

Thanks for the log ff - sorry you couldn't compete the cache, it is a nice experience all up when completed.

I will try to get up there asap to check the condition of WP1, there were two back ups so I can't imagine them all going missing.

Oh no, now I remember all those corrugations

Interesting mixed feelings about the caching experience.

Ok no WP1. No backups spotted. Didn't expect to find it anyway and searched just briefly as it was begginning to spoil the visit.

Thought it better to take in the view properly in solitude between muggle attacks. It was heartwarming to see those mythical tassie icons we'll never walk to. It must be lovely on a snowy day too but I guess we may have to pass on that one and again in spring with the flowers - thanks for getting us up here on a perfect summer's day.

The track is nearly too spiffy - not quite suited to wilderness theme but welcomed after the corrugated road. A toilet would have been nice thing to spend a few of those hydro bucks on too. Stop at down by the banks 2 if you need one before this cache.

Absolutely perfect day up this neck of the woods.Loooong time between visits...10 months since I first came....oh what a difference finding the info makes.Today would have been a photographers delight...so crisp and clear.Still intrigued as to why so few visits to this cache...as only 10-15min. walk with spectacular scenery...certainly deserves more attention.Wpt1 still in perfect order...and cache as pristine as ever...exc. hide and well protected from the weather.Thoroughly enjoyed this one.TNLNSL TFTEC Horus Cheers.

What a beautiful day to travel to this cache - it really doesn't get any better than this!

WP1 had indeed gone missing, it has now been replaced with back ups in case the main one goes missing. If you've visited my "Damn You Gordon" cache you'll know what you are looking for

The Cache itself was in wonderful condition given the amount of time it's been up there, it was good reading through the log entries and great that visitors appreciated the cache.

I think this is a perfect example of the importance of logging DNFs, if I had known there had been repeated visits I would have checked it long before now - one DNF log does not warrant a maintenance visit - log your DNFs people, there is no shame in it!

After 3 or 4 visits decided to call in again to find wpt1...gave up in the end..nothing but a jumble of figures.Either I'm looking in wrong place or coords not there.Will delete this one from database till it gets looked at by owner or someone else?? Cheers.

Couldn't see large blue container??Hate heights,so didn't spend much time looking at rocks below.Searched high and low for other clues..are they still there or readable..5 months since last found..may have faded??Was also icy and wet,which may have contributed to not finding.Will have another look when I have lots of time.Great view though..if you like standing over a vertical drop...not me.Cheers Horus

I used to feel a bit bad because we'd never made it up here to get this cache. We did have one aborted attempt in July this year, when we couldn't even get halfway up the gravel road to the top due to snow. But generally, I'd always been annoyed that I'd never found the time, because I knew how cool it was up there!

Well, I made it in the end, and it was kinda cool to be able to read all the logs this cache has had while I was being slack, and to take in the unimpeded view on such a ripper day!

I really enjoyed this, in fact as I was driving back down I thought that there are a few cachers about at the moment who should come up here (and to a few other similar caches). They might learn something!

Just like I could learn something about swaps... why do I keep leaving them in the car? TNLNETE!

Thanks Hozza!

Finally got up to this cache. been on the list for a looooong time. This was an awesome cache to start the day with. Its a shame in a way that not all the tassie caches are of a standard similar to this. There was only one bit of litter that i spotted...and it was blue...and part of the cache in a way!

Final waypoint took some finding as the Etrex was leading us on a merry trip nowhere near the cache. This seemed to be the flavour of the day for the 'trex....note to self...find the Geko.

Had no swaps on me today...I seemed to forget everything! Cheers Horus loved this one.

atempted this on the way fishing but after getting eyebrows plucked and scalp shotblasted from a howling s wester gave up looking for clues.wasn't much encouragment to start walking into it either but waliked into the peaks and got 3inches of snow over night stayed another night and found clue on way home did a bit of backtracking and found cache ok flippin heck was a long way round for a short cut
t giant murrycod atleast we got one fish for trip
l endangered frog
thanks horous great stuff

What a day to be up around here.

Snow was falling as great big flakes and the area looked magic. Looking over the lookout with snow blowing up into your face is excellent.

Found easily when we cleared away the snow.

Thanks Horus for excellent cache.

What a brilliant cache this is we had a really enjoyable walk up tp WP1 & waited for all the Mormon Muggles to leave. Master Energizer got the clue & after admiring "that awesome view" one more time we were off to find the cache .....
how many great hiding places are there here????? I've never found so many great spots to hide a cache in one spot .... they were all empty though. but, after about half an hour of searching we found it in the last spot we looked (isn't it always).
This would have to be one of the most enjoyable caches we've done .... we didn't want to leave, but the clouds & dark were rolling in, so we took a pony & left a car & a Keyring to go with it, & begrudgingly left this beautiful part of Tassie ....

thanks heaps Horus & also thanks to the Hydro for opening up this part of the state

Unfortunately, wasn't able to find the cache. Found the blue bucket but missed any clues. Must have been the 100 kph+ winds that were nearly blowing me clean off the top. Didn't really want to hunt around too long, as the wind chill factor was insane.
Thanks anyway.

After today events at gc.com I no longer have any faith in them as the keepers of my caches - so for the time being, until I decide what to do - or calm down, whichever comes first, all my caches have been archived.

Found on a beautiful, warm, sunny day. What a great cache, Horus and Yorick!

There were muggles sketching at WP1, so we had to make polite conversation while we oh so subtley nabbed the clue to WP2. And about WP2 we'll just say that this was a very satisfying find. We took the batteries (we're going to go through them on this trip!) and left a lanyard and green monster!

Just a note that dogs (and firearms) are not allowed at WP1 and are not really built for WP2. So Snuva's slaves did the dirty work.

Embi and I went looking for this one, and I'm happy to say that I found it. This was the second time that embi had tried to look for this one, but I guess that it comes down to the difference between a "man's look" and a "woman's look" (sorry, don't mean to offend).
Thanks horus, tasmania took my breath away.............

I went along with stumpy the second time and she found it after a few minutes much to my dismay. This time the flume was full and flowing very fast. Took highlighter and left batteries.

couldnt find this one either....its not looking good.

Found at 1.25pm
This was a great cache!!!
Despite the very corrugated road waypoint 1 was a delight to see.
Team Derringer did not feel inclined to go for the bucket, so opted for the clue.
BTW one particular co-ord is getting difficult to read.
We made an assumption based on distance, which proved to be correct.
GZ was remarkable, will find out more about the construction.
The cache was found after a 10min search in light drizzle and a cold wind.
Took a CD and left a rope watch.
Thanks for showing us this area H&Y
K&M

Date updated. Unfortunately we left the camera behind.
=======
We have been very tardy in logging all of our Tasmanian caches. Not at home at the moment, but have a spare hour or two, so will get some of them done. The dates will be wrong and will be updated them from home. Will also add some photos.
=======

The weather was clear but a little hazy for this one but the view across into the Cradle Mountain – Lake St Chair National Park was none the less spectacular. We were not game to reach for the container and settled for finding the clue. It was generally very legible, however, some mould has begun to obscure a rather crucial part of it.

The second part took us about 40 minutes of searching because there were just so many places to look. We eventually found it though and were pleased that we had made the effort. This place is well worth the rather long drive and corrugated road to visit. We still must find out more about Tassie’s hydro in this area. Building these things must have been such a big undertaking. TNLN. Thanks Horus & Yorick an excellent cache!

a good drive and were lucky to get there with snow on the peaks. almost got the bucket but ran out of rope and couldnt figure out the clue so left beaten but not discouraged.

This was an awesome cache! Drive was cool, views were awesome, the bucket was a scary sight for us without ropes!

Very cool to continue up the flume, and see this stuff! High Rating Cache!

Found the place where it's estimated to be, after a long drive down from Brisbane I was looking forward to finding our first cache, however, the weather got the better of us and we wouldn't get out of the car, we had a very interesting drive tho.
