Description

A beautiful bush track winding along a ridge with fabulous views of the coast. The Postman's Track has different vegetation and scenery and is more sheltered than some of the other walks in the Rocky Cape National Park. It is easy walking. Getting to GZ will not take long (15-20mins?) from the south. If you walk the whole track to Sisters Beach (or vice versa) it will take 1hr. The track may be accessed from the north and south.

Southern end parking is at: S40 55.652 E145 35.303.

This is a National Park, so you will need a Parks Pass. Dogs and bicycles not permitted.

 ~~ * ~~

Note: Due to problems with having a physical cache at this location, and a high level of maintenance for a very low number of visitors, I have decided that, rather than archive this cache I have changed it into a virtual. This means that everyone can still enjoy the Postmaster and grab a find on this lovely walking path.

To log this cache, all you need to do is take a photo of yourself/friends/mini cachers or your GPSr in front of the Postmaster.

Hi hookline
Had stopped to do this cache on a previous occasion but due to time constraints I drove away. Today however, the walk was undertaken.
A great walk through the bush with terrific coastal views.
Found the Post Master but no Post Office!
Sainted the cache at 1153hrs.
Then straight up the hill to find 'Two Sisters Trig'
TFTC and cheers

We had a great day out and about Boat Harbour and Sisters Beach.
We "over-shot" the mark by 60 metres and had to do a back-track.
Perhaps my solar panel (see gallery) was over charged ...

Mr W and Mr Tassie Trekker did the caches in the Rocky Cape area and Mr W had his photo taken with the postmaster. It looks like he has grown in size.

Spent a long time looking. Found the guardian and was very impressed but lucked out on the cache.

This cache is located along a great coastal walk on the side of the hill sheltered from the prevailing winds. Once we spotted the guardian we quickly located the cache. TFTC

Visited in conjunction with TP5244. Recommend that these 2 be done together in the order GA1701, Tp5244, then GA1701 again. Nice walk in then I started to bush-bash. The guardian was keeping watch. Took photograph. Left signature. TFTC

Always like seaside walks....lovely views. The track in is very well graded...so anyone could doddle in here. Also a good point at which to climb the hill to the Two Sisters Trig. Top cache Hookline.....many thanks....Cheers.
