Cache archived and physically removed 22 Sep 02. This area has been closed off to 4WD by State Forests.
What do we have to do to find this cache? We were approching the cache area, only 500 metres away, when all of a sudden the GPSr started giving us strange readings. One minute it would tell us we were 30km from the cache, then 5km then 150m. We thought that it was the trees blowing in the area as the wind was gusting up 80kmh but even after clearing the trees the problem continued, In frustration we abondoned the search and travelled to Mt Victoria only to find that the problem persisted all the way, and in town it was as erratic as ever. After 2 hours of this we decided to head home, but after travelling about 10 more Ks the problem disappeared. Can't explain it, but we were able to return to My Victoria and cache as normal once more. Anyone experience problem around 1.30 pm on the 5 July? I can find no reason for this phenomenon, as my GPS has not behaved like this before and is operating correctly once more. Help!
Our 2WD was not up to the challenge, so we had to settle for 2km from the cache. We enjoy a good walk though.
Finding was easy, as it was actually sitting on the rock. Not sure if it has been raided, but it did look a bit depleted. We replaced under a bush just next to the rock.
Took post-it-notes, and left bracelet and candle.
Gratitude to G1 and friends

third for the day for Team Gecko...passed who we believe was ECO Team on their way out...
the jelly babies didn't stay long enough to enjoy the view...forgot what i left behind as I lost my notebook on the trail somewhere after this oneTeam Gecko
Only people we passed on the way out were a big 4 or 5 4WD party at the very end of the fire trail, was that you guys?
The poor old EcoMobile baby 4WD was not game enough to get within the 100m of the cache, we settled for 200m!
The cache was more like 2-3m in the bush from the clearing, but fairly easy to find after eliminating the 1m radius!
Glad you enjoyed the freshly placed Babies!

BY the looks of the rock formations in this area, and previous find logs, this area may well be the windiest Place in the NSW. WOW, is all i can say, great location. We took lunch sheltered by one of the many rock formations, before hunting this one down.
We may be one of the first teams to get a vehicle within 100 meters of this cache, but I'm sure the Ideology cache-mobile got closer (doesn't it always?). Anyway, the Monkeys had a great time getting thier Monkey-truck down here.
This area is covered in great cache locations, and this is one of them. Well done G1 & co.

We did it at night - you should too. We didn't see the view, but heard the wind howling across what we think was a valley. There's a very dark photo on our web site.
Rode out on our bicycles to find the tin! A whole swarm of Chaotians! Spherical, Y2C, Hypermarket, Groundhog and the Captain. Hypermarket found the stash, but couldn't find any biscuits. Took the groovy map, the g-i-t-d golfball and a floppy (to see wots on it)(Hmmm...Nothing!) Left Chaos cash $500 (no monetary value) Geo-logy time trilobite bit, and a nice big Tangles rat! Beautiful spot. Quite busy, though!
This is what geocaching is about, going to really great spots. Nice one GI and friends.
