You'll find this cache at a scenic lookout up the road from the waterfalls a bit. The rolling green hills make for some great photos. A lone grave is also present at this lookout, and it appears the lookout was named after the chap burried here. I couldn't find much information on Merv Hughes - he must have been a local and I'd assume he owned or worked on the adjacent farm.
The cache contains a logbook, pencil and some swaps.

Making my way along The Falls Drive Tour I parked at GZ and began my search. There is an unfortunate amount of litter here. While searching, two groups of muggles ruined my solo geocaching serenity, so I left this one... for now..

We arrived at Gz to find a couple had set up camp at the monument ,as Gz was some distance around the corner from there we made a quick find and recovered with more rocks so as to be well hidden TFTC

They all laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian; Well, they're not laughing now.
