Description

This geocache is part of the I've Cached Everywhere Man series, based on the song noted below. Lilydale is in GCA Verse 6 by hookline. Besides finding this cache at the given coordinates, other highlights of Lilydale are... well, I couldn't cross the Lilydale bridge to find out, so:
- a free camp by the Clarence River. Must be self-contained though.
- more info of this particular spot at GC8FW9X

Please add more in your log if you make it west of the bridge and see something of interest there.

I'd give this a T1.75 for the streeeetch to reach it.

Whilst at the time of publishing this cache the road from the East is apparently "shit" (see pic), you can still get a caravan etc down there easily if you take it slow.

I've Cached Everywhere, Man is the largest cache series hidden in Australia. It is made up of the locations made famous by Lucky Star in the song "I've been everywhere" in 1962, lyrics by Geoff Mack. As there are so many other great places in Australia to cache at, a few members of the Geocaching Australia community have added verses as seen below.

 

Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load.
(Spoken) "If you're goin' to Oodnadatta, mate, um, with me you can ride."
So I climbed in the cabin and I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand, I said
"Listen, mate, I've travelled ev'ry road in this here land."

Chorus:
Cos "I've cached everywhere, man,
I've cached everywhere, man.
'Cross the deserts bare, man;
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've cached ev'rywhere.

We found this on a day tour of the area. This is a very pretty spot, it's just a shame that there aren't any toilets here, as with four young kids that isnalmost a requirement for our camping set up.

Thanks for the cache!

Exploring the area, concentrating on finding GCA caches and trig points.

This cache was on our target list and with an added bonus of a *FTF* on offer.

Nice to find another cache in the ICEM series.

Many thanks for placing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience today.

*FTF* @ 16.30hrs Very Happy
 
I did have a larger cache to hide in the Lilydale area, but I couldn't cross the river and didn't want to hide anything in the flood zone, so, my apologies, it's a micro.
