The Overhang Cania, Queensland, Australia
By d.d.dudes/storkers on 13-Apr-09. Waypoint GC1Q0JY

Found, instructions bit rough and coords not great, felt like I needed to see the photos beforehand

Still don't know if it's RHS going up, or rhs going downstream. Had a good look, but nothing looked like the clue picture and the rocks and ground were wet and very slippery. Given the effort to get there and return, I don't think my old frame will try again, but enjoyed the walk (sort of). The cliff wall opposite dripping rock (which didn't appear to be dripping but took a picture there). TFTC, d d dudes.

After a great hike into the overhang and a bit further past it sadly we were unable to find the cache. As Optus phone reception is non-existent I had downloaded the cache info but the GPS on my old iphone was jumping around and had us going 50metres up a steep climb and my 62 year old body is not inclined to want to do that. However we thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. Thanks for bringing us here

No shot I found that, there were some mad nooks for caches to be, in there. Nothing would load so took a guess and got it tftc

We searched all over the place and could not find it. Did we get close? Probably. So for today, this cache has eluded us. Only when I got back to our accommodation did I realise there was a different picture clue to the one shown in the description. Oh well. We have to come back for the 22k hike and multicache, so maybe we can have another search then!Cheers and TFTC!

Wow, what a great location, I did some research on this one and looked at some pics so had a fairly good idea where to look and soon had the cache in hand, log signed and returned as found, thanks for bringing me here, a favourite point from me and

TFTC

Well this one had me praying to the Patron Saints of Geocaching, and using all my geo sense to find. I am glad I read the description at some stage when I had reception, as there was no signal at all.
Rescued a lonely trackable that had been there since 11/12/2021. Only one visitor to the cache last year. Quite a hike for an old girl, and definitely worthy of the D/T rating.

This is the first walk we did today and had the overhang to ourselves. Nice and peaceful. The good description had me find it in the end. I wasn't listening to it at the start but then i thought i probably should. Cache all good. TFTC

We had a wonderful walk. Even spotted a Southern Boobook owl during the day from the track. Only met one other couple on the track heading back down and really enjoyed having such a lovely spot all to ourselves. The GPS was next to useless. We followed the hint and looked everywhere we could think of. Wish we'd had a look at the clue pic before we started the walk. No cache for us today, but we didn't mind for such a lovely walk.

Yesterday Dez(JezNDez) and I successfully completed a FTF walk out to the Castle Mountain Lookout covering some 25km on our journey there and back (including a few detours). On the way out we noted this cache was close by but decided to do the hard yards first and then decide if we were in any fit state to visit.

On the walk back along the Castle Mountain Lookout trail we thought we recalled a log from Crookedpete on a nearby cache who mentioned finding an off track route up to the Lookout track. A look at the topo map seem to suggest this was feasible. Despite our aching feet we took the detour and waded through some thick scrub until finding a clearer way forward through vegetation burnt back by previous bushfires. We eased our way forward as the terrain steepened and soon found ourselves in a narrow creek bed descending to the gorge. Despite the GPS indicating we were within 50m or so of the cache, further exploration frustratingly revealed that steep drop offs would prevent us getting any closer.

Resting in the shade of a nearby mini-overhang we eventually mustered enough energy to make our way back to the main track to continue the journey back to the car. On reaching the junction with the Overhang and Dripping Rock track, it was unanimously agreed that we were far too tired and would come back tomorrow to complete this cache.

And so we did, arriving in the carpark around 6.30am, but surprisingly not the first ones out here today (yesterday we had the place to ourselves when we arrived around 5am). Off we toddled, recovering some of the ground we had traipsed the day before. The scenery in this part of the gorge is spectacular, with the morning sunlight casting wonderful colours on the rocks. My particular favourite was a section of wind eroded sandstone which was glowing a rich golden hue. The decision to delay our visit was well rewarded, as there was no way we would have enjoyed the visit as much in the state we were in yesterday.

Arriving at the Overhang we we further rewarded with nature's own movie being projected onto the rock face. Sunlight was reflecting off pooled water in the creek at just the right angle that shadows from radiating ripples of water floated over the rock surface making the rock come alive. Sadly the display did not last long as the changing angle of the sun soon moved enough to bring a curtain down on the subtle light show. 10 minutes either side and we would have missed it!

Our attention soon turned to hunting for the cache. With remote caches like this one I tend to read previous logs before the trip to avoid issues of having no mobile coverage on site. This gave us enough information that we did not even have to refer to our phone or GPS to look for this cache. We quickly spotted a likely looking location and clambered our way up, where a container was found waiting for us safe and well. After signing the logbook I dropped in a trackable for the next visitor lucky enough to visit this wonderful location. TFTC

What an awesome walk!
We'd saved the geocaching data to our phones before setting off for this cache but unfortunately didn't get the hint photo. It didn't matter in the end - a bit of logic and an examination of the surrounds gave us the right idea on where to search.

Thanks for find #2471

The GPS was basically useless to find the Cache but we eventually found it after reading previous logs.
Thanks for the Cache.

Really enjoyed the walk to this geocache. GPS was jumping all over the place but after reading the description more carefully soon found the spot. Thanks for the cache.

Sorry DNF. We had to keep on keeping on to get our treks done in a day.. looked for couple minutes and moved on.. next time MAYBE as been here and done.. very dry. Might come back after some rain in the area to see the difference it would make.

3/5/21 Find #4783

Fangsoki, Pprime and I were joining KBreeAHH and Ponchomon11 for a long weekend in Cania Gorge. With slightly different dates of stay in the group, we said farewell to KBreeAHH and Ponchomon11 early yesterday but were here for one more night ourselves.
This morning it was time to pack up our things and complete just a couple of shorter hikes before beginning our journey back home.
This was the first of the day, and possibly my absolute favourite of the weekend. I love rainforesty settings, and this walk certainly gave me more of that scenery, stark contrast to the rather barren 24km hike earlier in the weekend. I took more photos along this journey than during the entire rest of the weekend.
However, when we got to GZ, we were slightly unprepared. I had saved the cache to an offline list, but it had only saved about half a dozen logs, and only a couple of the images. We had no service for a PAF, and the coordinates wouldn’t let us get closer than about 45 metres. Now we didn’t come all this way for a DNF, the idea of that hurt far too much. So we tried this way, and that way and under here and over there.
Finally when we were just about ready to lose it, Pprime mentioned something from one of the logs he had read which has us checking the opposite side of the gorge higher up. And suddenly....
Victory!!
And it was only when Pprime was signing the log, that we noticed a particular giveaway clue right above his head!!
Coords taken (see Pprime’s log), and we were off on our merry way once more.
Thanks for the cache d.d.dudes.

Accio 10:37:45
A great long weekend away camping here with KBreeAHH, ponchomon11, 1MinnieMoo and Fangsoki. Today is our last day and time for a couple of final hikes. Starting here. An early enough start to be ahead of the general masses. This was the best 'rainforest' we saw all weekend, so different to the terrain and ecology we saw up top of the gorge sides. With the rain yesterday we were wary of leeches (saw a couple, but no issues today), and a few other critters were spotted as well. Otherwise a very peaceful, quite walk along this gully up and down and around to Dripping Rock and then to The Overhang. Very impressive rock formations, and to imagine this creek running full on and eroding up the sides - wow.

We set about our searching, and with no coverage of any sort all our phones could tell us was that there were spoiler photos - just none we could actually see. It took a fair while, but common sense told us that the GPS pointing 50m 'south' into the rock wall was unlikely, and it really should be on the RHS, up higher. I've posted the coords that I found it at, eventually, in case that helps anyone. Given the locale it of course has a lot of bounce and your mileage may vary. I actually searched the right area twice - neither time noticing the "GC" on the wall at head height. Second time though I spied the container at foot level. Phew, we were starting to get worried. Container and hide is in great condition. That was when my companions pointed out the obvious a few cms behind my head. Oh well.

Such a pretty place, a highlight of the trip.

Thanks d.d.dudes/storkers for entertaining me at this location.
*{Overall find #9130}*

It's true. I was not particularly excited about the thought of going on this hike. I wanted to get home somewhat early. However, my nonchalance was soon taken over by how good this hike was.

We set off in the familiar area toward GZ. It was a bit of an amble. The steps did not excite me (I hate steps with a passion). I did drag the chain toward GZ but my companions were patient.

The terrain became more varied and soon we were at said "overhang". For about 20 minutes, we could not find the beast. Pprime was not very happy. We scoured what little information we had (with no internet) before Pprime finally came up with the goods. Phew. We signed the log and rehid the cache as found.

The trip back was a lot quicker - and I seemed to have found my speed button.

A fantastic place to visit and an easy favourite point. Apparently, this is my 36th d.d.dudes cache! TFTC

Was a little thrown off by the photo but found with the Geopartner. Had to try and 'save' her from the big spider close/on it.

Tftc!!! Super epic spot. Going to watch over cania gorge if it Evers floods and come back to this spot

We found it without the picture clues! Lovely spot if it had water!

Wow!!! The walk to GZ was just stunning! Totally stinking hot day, and we struggled a bit, but it was worth every step for the scenery. Very happy to add this find to our collection too. We can just imagine how gorgeous it would be here if there was water flowing. Hopefully they get some soon. Found the cache quite easily as had read the description, hint and some previous logs - knowing we’d have no reception once there. Thanks for a top hide!

Well hidden high up

Well this one took some searching. May also have aroused the interest of some muggles who also joined the search. The photo threw me a little bit with the log hint and geo senses has me searching high and stumbled onto the hide. GPS was certainly no help so trust instinct and where would you hide it RHS high. This location reminds me of den of nargen in vic. Such a cool spot

Thanks d.d.dudes for the cache.
Found at 8:43 am on 29/12/20.
Find # 2179

Wouldn’t have found this one relying solo on the GPS. Definitely needed the details in the description

TFTC

Not that tricky, I was dreading the climb, great walk.
Tfyc

A nice hike into here before it got too hot. A bit of a climb at the end to grab this one but worth it for a different aspect of the rock. TNLN TFTC

Busy in the school holidays but luckily this fund was well out of the way of muggles. We might have yelled a happy “yippee” and drawn small attention to ourselves when we found it! TFTC

Great spot! Follow instructions up up on the right bank. Climb!

We were without service, and even though we had downloaded the cache info beforehand, we weren’t able to see the pics or hints in the logs. So, while we looked for awhile, it seemed like a needle in a haystack.

Still, a beautiful place and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring - so in that sense, we still count it as a win!

Found with Dora the Explorer! A nice little walk and a little climb to finish off.

A very pretty area.

Did not take long to find when GPS settles down.

Thanks for showing me this place.

Quick and easy find after some research and seeing the hint on the wall.

Great walk into the gorge, such a beautiful location. TFTC!

What a great spot!! Saw some slithering wildlife on way to gz!! All good at gz itself! Tftc

Found today after a lovely walk. The clue on the wall helped, was able to find without GPS using the descriptions provided in the logs. TFTC

We have not been out geocaching in quite some time and I have just relocated our missing GPS'r. I am finally getting around to log caches stored on it we have previously found. Thanks for the hunt

Well we arrived at gz and I headed off using phone direction with no luck. Was unable to find. The geo wife read more of the description and pointed me in the right direction. Was unable to look at the photos but with yelling from down below zeroed in. Cache in hand log signed. Now for the walk back. Tftc

After 30 minutes of clearing debris from the previous umpteen floods and not having any luck decided to call it quits. So had a sit on a rock and read the information available then went straight to GZ and had a quick find. TFTC

It rained last night at camp up on the Dawes Range !!
So I was expecting a wet walk here
But as I was packing up camp the first glimpses of blue sky were moving in from the west as promised by the BOM

I headed on down the range to find that the descent was covered in thick fog [:o]
Fifty metres visibility all the way down the hill
And so I arrived at the empty carpark.
Not much of a view !!
The clouds were little more than 50 feet above me head

At least I had beaten the muggle crowds !!
And set off on this delightful stroll through the rainforest clad gorge.
Being the first to stroll the trail,
I got to enjoy all the wildlife sightings,
and the myriad of bird songs

At the overhang,
I potted about and headed upstream a bit to where GZ should be.
Unlike me last visit,
this time I came armed with the 'clue'
So wandered around for a while looking for something that matched.

It soon became apparent that I was stupidly looking below flood level
With the picture as me guide,
it took me a good half hour of poking about to figure out where it was taken.
I eventually found *the* spot

And had the cache in paw a few moments later

TFTC and reason to revisit this wonderful place.
Even better this time around with nobody else here to spoil the serenity [^]

After finding the Giants Chair. We headed off for the overhang. I must add that we were there yesterday and gave up after quite a long search. So today we headed off after checking the photos and taking more notice of the hint. Arrived at Gz with high hopes.it still took a while. The cache is in good condition TFTC.

Found with aid of the photo ,thanks

TFTF, beautiful place. Be nearly impossible without the hint, photos & reading the activity logs. Glad we were prepared. Thanks for bringing us to this place.

TFTC. Left a tb for the next to find and move on. Beautiful morning walk to have morning tea at the overhang.

After having lunch back at camp & a short game of cricket we headed off to the overhang. Geoson has a sore knee & whinged for the first few hundred meters of the track. The scenery on this side of the road is so different from the Giants chair side, much more enclosed rainforest feel. We had a quick rest & photo stop at the dripping rock then continued on our way.
Wow that is one big rock!
We left geoson sitting on the rocks near the end of the trail while the rest of us set off in search of the cache. I had read some of the logs last night & looked at some pictures (but didn't see the clue one...) so thought I knew where we should be looking. We couldn't see the 'GC' on the rock but that might not be there anymore. Thought I saw the 'can' beside the creek & tried the 30-15 trick but unfortunately we couldn't find the cache. It was starting to get late & cool so decided we had better abandon the search & head back.
I'm disappointed we didn't find this one, guess it means we'll have to make another trip back to Cania gorge one day!
Thanks for placing the cache so we could combine a walk & a cache!

What an amazing area we went for a scramble along the creek simply amazing TFTC..

Easy find based on hints from previous logs. A lot of water has come the area in recent times but this cache is high and dry. TFTC.

Up and up. Trinkets. (logged as Dubby)

Tricky stash but found eventually due to the perseverance of Dubby. TFTC

Tough find, but found it in the end.tftc

Found this one after a little while.
Had to look at the previous logs to find it in the end
The 30 and 15 rule helped a lot
There's also a 'can' on the side of the creek making it a little easier

Took the travel bug

our favourite walk I think took a bit to find thanks to other logs

Favourite walk in the Cania gorge. needed to use the previous logs to assist with this find. Thanks.

What can I say – this was 1 challenging cache to find – took some time to find it – I walked way too far but this area opened up & I collected myself – read logs & through away the GPS (maybe not) on the return walk I used my caching skills to find this nicely hidden cache. All are saying about the GC on rock wall ???? was unable to find that ( may have something to do with wet rocks as it rained last night) but found cache instead. I used the 30 – 15 metre rule to find cache & a lot of luck. Left a trackable in bag of swaps - TFTC / TFTH / SL

This is our first visit to this interesting area. We are staying at a nearby campground and decided to do some walks and find some caches. There were quite a few muggles clambering over the rocks when we arrived but fortunately heading in the opposite direction to us so by the time we were near GZ we had the area to ourselves. Having read the description we realised that we hadn't downloaded the helpful photo! However, that did not deter us and we followed the instructions using a little geosense as well a likely hiding spot was spied. Yes... it's there! TFTC d.d.dudes and an FP from us and here come the next wave of muggles.

We had a fantastic walk in to this spot and enjoyed all the great views and interesting formations. The GPSr wasn't much help here so we had to rely on previous logs and the general description and hints. We both made it to the Overhang then GeoAJ scrambled about 30m upstream and about 15m above the creekbed on the right hand side to search for the cache. He eventually spotted the GC on the wall and then grabbed the cache. A favourite point for this one from us - it deserves lots more. Thanks for bringing us to this awesome location.

Our second disappointment for the day!
We did not do enough research before departure by reading previous logs, and as there is no signal at all once you leave the caravan park, we couldn't check on our phone when the GZ wasn't obvious. We would never have imagined we had to travel so far under the overhang.
Never mind, ya win some, ya lose some!
Beautiful part of the world here! And so peaceful!

On our [trip around the world](http://www.hoppundweg.piekar.de/) we came to Australia as well. We started in Tasmania, rented a campervan in Melbourne and went up the Eastcoast to Cairns. Then we drove all the way to the Red Centre. We finished in Darwin. We searched many caches and found almost every cache we searched for . Thanks to all the owners of these caches. Now, 2 years later, we recognized, we will never be able to log every cache seperately... So: Sorry for this standard logtext and thanks for one of the caches, which accompanied us on our journey.

We decided to go for a walk late in the afternoon. Only two hours till dusk so it was a bit of a hurry. After seeing a 1 meter snake on the path and battling through quite some spiderwebs, Reznik took the challenge of climbing up. The previous logs helped us and indeed were there the letters about 15 m above the creek. A nice place!

TFTC from the Netherlands

Thanks

This was by far our favourite part of the Cania Gorge experience. A truly beautiful part of the world. We read some of the older logs, which made our search a bit easier, but it was still one of the more challenging caches to locate. At the risk of "spoiling" the search for others, I'll say that the cache is about 30 metres upstream from the "overhang" and at least 15 metres above the creek bed. Look for the letters "GC" on the rock wall next to GZ. (See attached photo). Thanks for this cache d.d.dudes. Cheers from Bindair Dundat and Princess.

How exciting! Wasn't sure I would find this cache. Set off by myself after finding a cache near the Giants Chair. I really enjoyed the walk, especially all the different colours in the rock walls. I was impressed by the Dripping Wall and stopped to have a quick drink, hoping to see the two owls fellow walkers had told me about , but it was not to be. I hurried on to the Overhang and remembering the logs I had read kept moving towards the GZ . It certainly is a great hiding place and I am extremely pleased to have found it. Many thanks to the previous finders for their help - not sure I would have found it otherwise. Certainly little help from Little Red Riding Hood (aka my GPSR. TFTC TNLN SL

DNF for us. Maybe we didn't go in far enough.

Had nearly given it up for lost, but one last look, a bit further upstream and up the bank and bang, there it was. Well hidden. Left a bit of a rock marker for others.Another magical spot in the gorge. Good work team. Took something, left something. Thanks.

Of the caches I expected to be a right pain to find, this one was surprisingly easy for me. It was after midday when I turned from the Dragon Cave track and onto the long haul out to this cache. I say long haul, but only because it was hot, no breeze and I was getting hungry. In the heat of the day I was very thankful for the tree cover over the track - at least I wouldn't get burned.

The start of the walk in was lovely. It is very dry here at the moment and although the creek isn't flowing around the massive boulders down below, the trees are all green and there is plenty of birdlife filling the forest with song.

I then came across the Dripping Rock. I can imagine this is a beautiful natural water feature most of the time, but in this dry weather - not so. I happily sat nearby for a while to cool off and have a drink. Dripping Rock was just trickling, keeping some ferns irrigated, but I think I drank more from my camelback than was dripping down. Once I was feeling a little cooler and better I upped and moved off again.

The walk got vastly more interesting from here as the sandstone cliffs showed all sorts of colours and shapes. Not far along was a large gorge to the left and further along the colours were incredible. I have never seen as many colours in rocks as there is to be seen here. Layers upon layers of wildly vibrant colours to be seen. One section bright yellows, another burning red shades. I could have sat and looked at the fine detail all afternoon.

The track then dipped down the steep slope beside the cliff and into the Overhang. This area sure is a wonder of geology. Now the massive overhang loomed over the still creek - going all sorts of gross shades of slimy where pools still laid. There were muggles here on their way out as I headed in. As would be expected I had negligible GPS reception and so relied on the hint. I neglected to look at the photo at home though and it doesn't come up on the GPSr.

Basically, I had almost no idea where the cache would be. I chose to walk along and just pick out spots that would be above flood level and possibly harbour a cache. Maybe there, over here perhaps, up behind that.. Then I spotted something that just seemed 'right'. I headed up and started looking. There was a 'walkway' among the boulders I followed and completely surprisingly, I saw the corner of the cache poking out from under the rocks. Unbelievable! I headed over and plucked it out. All inside was in good condition and I signed the logbook behind all the other entries. I checked my GPSr which was wildly whizzing around, no idea where to point with this limited view of the sky. I replaced as found and built a small rock cairn nearby for those who get close.

After spending time not moving too much in the shade it was time to hit the track back to the car. I made good pace by boy I went through a lot of water and things were really hotting up. The final stretch near the carpark was like walking through a fan-forced oven in the midday sun. A very intriguing spot to visit and a walk well worth the time investment. I was even happier that the cache was a quick find. TFTC d.d.dudes and Storkers

A pleasant place to walk on a hot day. After cooling down a little, I spotted the ferns to walk under, and wondered whether there were any more of these before the flood. I had no trouble finding the cache, didn't realise there was a photo clue till I read the logs later, but it helps to be able to spot faint trails. Nice placement, Thanks d.d.dudes very much. A maintenance point: the container has received a couple of holes by an enterprising small marsupial. I took an empty eclipse container, left shell.

Our last cache at Cania Gorge. Great day for the stroll to the overhang, the geokids were even enjoying the day! Took the GPSr just to see how far out it would be and found, as everyone else has, the fluctuations huge with each step. We continued past GZ as others had recommended and it was well worth it. The photo hint was called on for reference and with a bit of scrambling the four of us landed at GZ for cache retrieval! Sifting through swaps and signing of log became quite hurried as the sound of approaching muggles drifted up from the overhang. Hmmmmmmm, we might be here a while.............. A short wait and the 'not that interested' muggles departed. Scrambled down and on our way before the next lot arrived! Left octopus, took butterfly hair clip . Thanks d.d.dudes for this and the other caches in Cania Gorge. Just adds to the holiday!

Very nice spot but about 50m from GZ according to my Garmin 60CSx. It was the clues that helped find this one. Went up and had a look at GZ by climbing up on top - great view over the overhang. TFTC.

Our second full day at Cania Gorge on our family camping holiday. After an easy day yesterday, today was the chance to get a few walks done. First up was Dripping Rock and The Overhang.

From the carpark, we crossed over Three Moons Creek on the temporary bridge. It scares me to think what todays sedate little creek looked like when the main bridge was washed off its footing and badly damaged.

It is a pleasant hike up the Gorge, with the kids enjoying exploying the rocks and caves. Soon, we passed Dripping Rock and were at the Overhang. What a cracker of a place! After a few photos, it was time to hunt out the cache.

As expected the GPSr was completely useless in the steep sided gorge with accuracy of only about 75 metres. Thankfully, I had saved the photo clue to iphone offline. So, after exploring upstream in the gorge as far as possible, we headed back to the overhang, paying careful attention to the eastern wall.

Getting close to the fern tree garden, I noticed the faintest of trails heading off up the hill. Definately worth investigating, so with 5 excited kids in tow, we headed up the trail and was pleased to see a rock formation that matched the picture. The kids quickly found the cache and opened it. With the pecking order for swaps all sorted beforehand, a few swaps were made, though the pickings were a bit slim for a few of them.

Cache was replaced and we made our way back to the Overhang, before heading off in search of a Dragon. Thanks for the cache, d.d.dudes. A favourite from me.

I was glad I saved this walk for the mid morning
After tackling a couple of nearby climbs in the early morning cool, the day was warming up and the walk to the overhang is a nice shady affair [^]

Unfortunately the ambiance of such a beautiful location was spoilt, as it usually is, by a bunch of muggles yelling and cooeeing
So I went exploring further up the canyon
Wow !! Keep scrambling past GZ people, it is a beautiful place for many hundreds of metres.

By the time I returned, said muggle hoard had gone away and I got down to the business of tracking down the cache
Let's see, the last find was back in January of this year.
I wondered when the BIG flood was ?
Where I ended up searching sure looked like a lot of erosion had happened and after half an hour of scratching around, I had to admit defeat. I wished I had the picture clue with me
So DNF for me today, but the scenery makes it all worth while [^]
After all, isn't that why I chase caches, to see whats there ?
Signing a logbook is just the icing on the cake

So this cache was all cake !

A great day out walking the tracks. Nature at its best and grateful to have found the cache thanks to my stickerboy
Tftc

Wow what an awesome place to spend the day with stickerboy. Tftc

Took a little while to pinpoint gz but all the clues put together helped

Found it!

What a lovely area.. Wasn't very confidant of a find after reading previous logs. Initially went way past gz but was worth it for process of elimination. On way back once again studied the clues and the pictures than one particular area court my eye but it must be viewed from the correct angle to resemble the clue. Yes got it right. My personal victory for today..
Container high and dry and in good condition.

Hunted for this one in the failing light had no success looks like a lot of water has been through this area. had to leave this one as it was getting dark TFTH. great location great walk.

Unfortunately a DNF on this one for us. We were camping at the nearby Big4 Camping and Caravan park and were doing some of the walks in there area and tried our luck at this cache.

As the instructions state, you may as well leave the GPSr in the car as it really won't do you any good when you are at GZ. Having had a quick look at the last logs etc before we headed out, I was aware of the 'spoiler' pic (although not really a spoiler...) and even had it printed out for us if we needed to look at it. Yes we did look at the pic and even found the exact spot where the pic was taken (just for the record, our GPSr still said we had more than 100m to GZ when standing at this point), however, no luck for us in finding the cache . We assumed it wasn't exactly where the pis was taken as it looks like that area may receive a lot of water at varying times. So off to the right and all over the basnk we scoured but the geocaching gods were not smiling at us...

If we are ever back in the area, will have to give this one a go again.

Even if future cachers don't find this cache, the walk in and the scenery at GZ are definitely worth the effort.

Thanks for the hunt
Cheers

'Eat... Sleep... Geocache...'

Unfortunately another DNF. printed out the picture and used it to orientate oneself once at GZ. Checked bother banks left and right as well as underneath and around rocks shown in picture. Good walk though and magic surroundings. Maybe recent rains have wash away cache or maybe it's been muggled. probably worth a maintenance check. [?]

Beautiful scenery, walking with muggle friends. We spent quite a while searching for this one, but did not have the photo clue with me, so no luck. Dont know if I will ever be back here, as visiting from Tassie. Why would people complain about the coords in a place like this? You have stated that the coords will not be much help, and to compensate you have given a pretty clear photo clue. Just my bad luck that I did not have the photo with me on the day. Loved the experience.

Well, I had a very enjoyable walk to the overhang, and searched the area well, but obviously not well enough as the cache eluded me. The narrow gorge and tree cover made for Dodgy GPS, so I relied on the description and hints. I wasn't sure how far further on from the overhang or how far up the bank to search. Tried to see a view similar to the photo that I saw online the night before, but nothing stood out for me. When terrain got a bit hairy and it started drizzling I decided to stop as I was by myself and out of mobile range.

Despite the DNF I had a great time being in the area.

After a disappointing start looking for a dragon. We decided to try another path and look for something over us.

After a walk the gps froze a signal not reaching. Us intrepid explorers ventured on and was reward with the cache.

Took America's cup keyring.

Found GC after a little while, had to resort to past logs for cleared perspective. Took nothing, left America's Cup Key Ring.

No images on PDA but luckily ManGecko was seriously in touch with his JediSelf, and just marched up to it. Given that the GPS still read 50+m, I was rather impressed. TFTH

1410hrs. Got to the overhang and sat down to read notes. Photo, what photo? Talk about lack of preparation. Walked up the creek and started a search. Reread the pda and gave up. Then looked up and wondered. A quick search and cache was in hand. At least the flood hadn't worried it. Great cache and all good and dry. GPS is useless as stated. TFTCSL

I remember seeing this one published a long time ago and having read all the logs since knew it would be fun. I made sure that before I left I looked at the spoiler pics as my PDA only had the description.

Arriving at the car park this morning I opted to leave the GPS behind as according to the other logs it wouldn't be accurate. I thought the clues given would be good enough for both the caches we were heading to.

It was a very pleasant walk in to the overhang which was very popular today. While waiting for another group to move on I surveyed the area through the overhang and tried to picture the description given. Once the group had moved on holster, the hairbear, my son and I ventured through into the tree ferns. As luck would have it the sun was shining and I could see something that seemed familiar in the picture clue. Moving up to the spot I smiled as the only thing missing was the GPS on the rock in the picture.

The cache was extracted quickly at 1040hrs and it was interesting to note that it had been found in the past by muggles who had kindly returned it to its hidey hole.

So for those that are going to try and find it in the future just follow the clues given by the old fella who placed it. If you try and follow your GPS it will only send you in circles.

Thanks for taking us to a great spot dudes.

Dropped off a few of my travellers for a visit, thanks.

Found it with Konie and thehairbear after a great walk.

Finally!!! - had a long search on previous day with no luck (although we now know that we walked right on top of it) - second attempt successful. To confuse you all - look high - then low!!! Maybe converted some new Caches - many interested in what we were doing!! Definately look at all picture clues before you head off in search of this one. Took - cool dude badge. Left - Travel bug (ARK3KF), orange seal, hairclip and shell.

We haven't had the spoiler pic with us, just the previous logs. We just tried to find it, but gave up after about an hour... [xx(]
It would be great, if the next finders would try and take some better coords. It's a pain, if a traditional cache is off more than 100m.

Cheers

Had 6 kids & two adults searching high and low for at least 1/2 an hour...
Just as we gave up one of the kids found it
It was about 100M from where my GPS was saying.

Couldn't find this one, searched high and low and under every rock.

Gday - had incredible fun finding this one. GPS wasn't a lot of use but found it after dim memories of picture clue and directions given. Awesome gorge and water was flowing through the overhang. Enjoyed it - thanks.

4.30pm. We got our exercise claiming this one. Due to computer troubles, we came in search of this one with armed only with our GPSr and the minimal info we could remember from reading the notes online a few days earlier. As we approached GZ and realised that our GPSr was practically useless with the signal bouncing off all the nearby rock walls, we felt clueless! We retreated, managed to access the log notes on a computer, tried harder to remember necessary info, and set out again. this time it didn't take long before Mr vinthe2nd declared that he had 'found it'. Kids thoroughly enjoyed the walk, scenery and wildlife along they way. Took toy car and marble. Left 'cool dude' badge and novelty ring. TFTC.

Found it - introduced some first time cacher's to the experience. Great spot TFTC!!

Second Cache ever found, fantastic fun, thanks to darrinanita and the crew for great find.

Didn't find it. Lots of people visiting this area today being school hols. What I should have taken was the picture clue it seems.

I walked stright to it eventually. TFTC

As we down load geocache info directly into our GPS we didn't know about the picture. Coordinates appeared 60 m away from where the hints were directing us; a long way to search. We will be back.

It looks like the OVERHANG has left a few geocachers with a HANGOVER um... Headache. Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah. FTF. Found easily this morning using the photo clue - picked it side on. Took my time and found it in 20 minutes.Very quiet on the way in met a cacher and some muggles on the way out. Great hide, good location, excellent views and surroundings. Your Camo colour seemed a bit strange - it did however make it easy when I reached the GZ - one move and that doesn't belong here - gotcha.
Made some swaps.

Finally I can get this one off the radar.
