No, way too hard for me too. Don't you mean next to the falls not behind them. Rather confusing sorry to say.

We liked this lovely spot but had no luck with the cache. Looked on the side of the track that seemed most obvious without success. Clue was worse than useless Sad

Called by after camping overnight at Kaniere.
The falls were absolutely magic after a night of rain.
We found the clue unhelpful and due to the rain and poor coverage didn't bother to have a look as we didn't even know which side of the track to look on.
Then when we began our drive back to Kaniere the road was blocked with a fallen tree.
Luckily after the removal of a few small branches we were able to drive under the main trunk.

Nice place to visit on this fine West Coast day. Waterfall was putting on an impressive display. Took a few minutes to find the cache as I had concentrated my looking initially on the wrong side of the track. Replaced the holed baggie and damp silica gel. - Portokeil Blue Guitar Pink Floyd Geocoin. Thanks for the cache.

Beautiful waterfall but couldn't stay long as it was sooo cold. Took a bit of poking around to find this one but we did. Took snake left stickers. TFTC

The biggest surprise here was not the waterfall nor the well hidden cachebox but a whole lot of geocoins inside that had been here for almost a month now.
Took some, left some and added some. Seems to be more of a TB hotel right now Cool Ok, a fair bit to drive but well worth the effort.
Thx for showing us this place,
Team Loopi (from Germany)

Well this turned out to be quite a surprise.. We had no idea there was this beautiful waterfall right here.. Took lots of pics and took a while to find the well hidden package.. Left a number of GC's here to attract more visitors to this cache... Thanks for the cache and showing us this wonderful spot.

Absolutely awsome waterfall!!! Had to stand there and take lots of photos while muggles were around, finally they left after about 10-15minutes. Great cache! Cheers

2776. A very picturesque spot. We took lots of photos yet again. We had left the GPS in the car and found the cache on instinct.

Thanks

No muggles here today to spoil the party. A tricky hide though. The falls are beautiful. Never been here before. TFTC

Planned to do this one today but gave up as a team of muggles insisted on talking to me (and talking and talking and talking and talking). Man I'm sick of muggles.

Had a very nosy Weka looking for the cache as well. It was within 30cm while I signed the log book.

A bit of a hunt for J as B took some photos. GPS wouldn't get a fix so was always about 5m away. Gave up on that and went for logic. TNLN TFTC

Found by PB with no co-ords, information, or hint because 'someone' left all our bits of paper at home!! Just to prove that his geo-sense is good.
Really lovely spot and great waterfall.
