Description
J & J's eighteenth cache hide. An easy drive-by on a rocky incline, along the Northern edge of The Hummocks.
This geocache has been placed in honour of the 10th anniversary of geocaching in Australia!
Details of this event can be seen >here<.
The location of this cache is along a rugged dirt road, that is steep in some sections. A 2WD vehicle can access this track, but good ground clearance would be benificial. If approaching from the East, I'd recomend a 4WD vehicle, as the terrain is not only rough, but uphill as well!
We chose to place a geocache here after looking for interesting places through Google Earth's Street View. The track looked rough, and not often used, but if the Google mobile could traverse it, so could we!
The container is a black PVC plumbing contraption with a screw-top lid. It holds a number of new swaps as well as the obligatory log book and pen.
There is also a Geocaching Australia FTF pathtag for the first visitor.
Happy hunting!

Had been nearby for another cache a few months back, but missed the GCA ones!!
A nice drive by on a track that was better than I remembered
Still in good condition.

There are a number of names in the logbook that don't have a matching log online!

At long last I have found this cache! After my failed attempt many years ago I came back today with a 4WD and quickly found the cache! Interesting drive with some nice views!
