Logs
We took one wrong turn as we headed for this cache but we were able to bactrack quite easily. Once in the carpark, it took a few minutes to locate the cache. The hint was a big help as we found the cache 9m south of the published coordinates. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks DEZ005 for the cache. We have visited the top of Minnow Falls from a track on top of Mt Roland but have not visited the base of the falls, That will have to be for another day.
There were 3 cars at the carpark and passed one on the way in.
I'll have to investigate the falls one day.
Once the gps settled the cache was soon found.
No other logs so a bonus ftf.
Many thanks DEZ055 for placing the cache for us all to enjoy....much appreciated...cheers ST.
