We arrived here to find the lookout deserted ,so proceeded to search ,but we had no internet connection and could not see the spoiler photo, first we found an archived GC cache and then looked in the more obvious places and discovered the cache TFTC
Drove the Settlers Way route out from Warwick to all the Waterfalls, then on to Carrs Lookout - was not caching today but at Carrs Lookout walking past GZ we both said that’s a likely spot for a cache and sure enough there was one hidden there. No pencil there but we had our own, signed the log - cache container was large enough for us to also leave a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin.
Fantastic view from here, worth a visit. TFTC 2BluFish

Today's exploring started late last night with an early AM drive to the base of Wilsons Peak. After a few hours of sleep it was time to join geo-buddies up to geocache and trig goodness. It ended up being a lot easier and quicker than we all expected. After we all returned safely to the parking area a bunch of the group wanted to continue to explore and I decided to join them. We visited a nearby GC trad that could be best described as super random then the group wanted to explore this lookout for an old GC cache that has been archived. I wasn't too interested as I was satisfied with my trig find so I decided to check out the view while the group started their search. One old container was found.... and then a new one haha.... while I was taking happy-snaps of Wilsons Peak I heard "who is MattyRx?" so I wandered back to the confused group, AHEM let me explain...
There are now lots of names in the log book. Time will tell if they will be interested in logging a GCA cache. I tried to sell GCA as best as I could. After this the group continued further down the road. I went with them for one more GC cache then left the group for a nearby (surprisingly) double trig find. One in the group decided to join me. This was an interesting evening with two trigs discovered and apparently we look like cattle rustlers and/or dope growers but that's another story haha. There are some paranoid farmers around these parts! Thanks for the cache, five thumbs up for the view of Wilsons Peak!
Cheers
