Whodunit Difficulty

Description

Bells Rapids is situated where the Avon and Swan rivers meet in the Northern reaches of the Swan Valley. From the top of the road you get your first glimpses of the idyllic valley that is Jumbuck Hill Park.

Bells Rapids and the surrounding Jumbuck Hill Park are nice places to take a casual walk around quiet native bushland. Bordering on Walyunga National Park, Jumbuck Hill includes the upper Swan River Valley and foothills on either side leading up to the Darling Ranges.

There are some nice set out walking trails ranging in distance and difficulty. Along the walk you can expect stunning panoramas from the hill tops, old rail lines and a 25-metre cascading waterfall.

The cache is not located at the published coordinates but can be found here.

You are looking for a large cache.

You will need good sturdy walking boots or shoes and maybe a hiking pole.

Enjoy the view. Feel free to post photos in the log of your experience.

Woohoo. 2TF at 11:45am. My first mystery cache. Solved the puzzle (almost by accident as I'm new to this!), checked the coords and found!

We approached from the top whilst on a walk in the area, but think either way would've suited. Left a couple of trinkets.

Thanks for the puzzle and cache!

A bit hard for me to get there but with some encouragement from Chwiliwr I did in the end even if I thought I was going to die by the time I got up the hill.

Thanks for the cache.

The better half and I decided to go for a drive and have a go for this cache after I saw that the puzzle had changed at some point after I had first tried to solve it and then solved it without problems.

When we saw where GZ was we wondered if we could get there but persisted by doing a fair bit of zigzagging with rest stops until we were about the right level and then traversed across to GZ. After arriving at GZ we did a bit of a search and quickly found the cache with a blank log so were joint *FTF*. The view is excellent from up here.

It turned out that it was harder to get down than to get up but eventually we made it back to where we had parked the car.

Thanks dezzabills for the puzzle and cache.

Would you consider enabling the coordinate checker for this one, as I find them difficult to read and want to see if I have it right before setting out.
