Description
A cache a short distance off of the east-west track. I noticed a pretty big gap between caches in this area so felt I should put one in. The cache is named such as the cache is on a small hill that extends about 20m upward from the track.
I looked at a couple of the nearby track entrances like the mount hull track and they all appear to be part of someone's property. Therefore I instead recommend accessing this area via either the zig-zag track from Collinsvale or via the big bend track from Wellington. The cache is quite a distance regardless of how you access the area so go slow and enjoy the scenery.
The trees around this cache are quite dense and I found that the best access is around S42° 51.923' E147° 11.991' at the fallen tree.

An easy find today, but nowhere near where I was looking before when we couldn't find it. I think I must have put the wrong coords into the GPS last time as I was somewhere off the Zig Zag Track! TFTC!

Found this cache quickly which surprised me. I almost wasnt going to bother with the previous DNF's
I walked in and put my GPS to one side and just looked for the hint location. Surprisingly it was at the first place I looked. Cool
I found it at 42 51.917 E147 12.019 with 10 metres of accuracy

Spent about an hour searching here to no joy. The coords were bouncing all over the place and there were several items as mentioned in the clue that fitted the description between 20 to 50 metres off the track. One looked particularly obvious, with a good hidey hole but no cache, whilst the coords led through thick vegetation to what looked like an old track. Hopefully I was just suffering cache blindness, and it gives a good excuse to return...
Spent a good hour searching for this one to no avail. Coords were bouncing all over the place so I checked several places that matched the hint, but unfortunately found nothing. An enjoyable walk up here and a good excuse to return...
Hello JoshuaWierenga thank you for the cache.
I had walked up from Tolosa Park via Knights Creek Trail and found another nearby cache on the way.
I took a longer route back home so I could find your cache.
It took a while before I found it.
All is still in good condition and now with its first logbook entry I'm claiming a *FTF*

Had a couple issues with the pen so put another in as well, hopefully one of them works. Enjoy the cache!
