I attempted this one from below. It was a challenging track like a really expedition but I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately there wasn't much of a view from the top as it was in a cloud. FP from me.

This was one of my favourite finds. A pretty tough track on the way up and more so on the way down! A very enjoyable hike in my opinion!

We came across this one on a SAR exercise, good bit of fun whilst working our way back down the mountain.
This was one of the caches in the area we'd wanted to do for a while and with a club bushwalking trip to the falls it was time to do so. We started from the Bottom Rd car park ascending steadily up the excellent and recently upgraded track. Whilst its a fairly unrelenting upward route its not overly demanding. Soon enough we reached the first set of falls which were running quite well - plenty of water from recent rain and snow.
The track from here became even steeper and rougher but still quite an enjoyable section nevertheless with three very handy rope ladders plus a fun section through a "cave". Onwards and upwards we proceeded until the top was reached where we had lunch by the creek just before it plunges over the edge. The cache is located not far from here and was soon nabbed. All in order. We then continued on along to the Skyline track where we made our descent. Great cache location. Thanks mrtack.

check cache out long time since visited all in good condition did the trip up from bottom of falls track marked ok great views of falls
After going up Mt Roland and Vandyke last week, this seemed the next logical step. The account of the track up to the top of the falls sounded enticing, with ropes and ladders and caves to climb through, so we set off to explore. If you are comfortable with scrambling and fairly steep climbs, this is probably the shorter and more interesting way to get to the cache.
The bottom falls were reached after an hour and a half of steady uphill walking, then the fun part began, climbing up through lush vegetation and interesting conglomerate rock outcrops with a rope ladder up a rock slab and a wonderful cave to scramble through to reach the middle falls. We spent quite a while here taking photos and just enjoying the views.
Then up again on more ladders and through more gullies to the top of the falls where we had lunch sitting on the creek enjoying the sunshine and looking out over the countryside. Across the creek and up to the cache where there are expansive views back towards the Gog range and right across to Ben Lomond and Mt Barrow.
There aren't any very good views of the big falls from the top, but it is possible with care to scramble down beside them for a little way to see some of the smaller falls.
By the time we left the top it was mid afternoon and I had a birthday tea to get home for, but it only took us a couple of hours to get back to the car in spite of stopping at the middle falls again to take photos with the sun being in a better position.
It was a wonderful way to spend a birthday! So thank you mrtack for the cache, and to Bill Shepherd and others who have put this delightful track in.
Notes on the track can be found here: http://billshep1.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/wilmot-river-walks-windows-live-edition/
I think the track would be slippery when wet, but the upside would be more water in the falls. The views are spectacular, and the walk itself is fun.

Reading the logs of previously finders of this cache we were partly prepared for what proved to be the most demanding walk we have ever undertaken. In addition to the comments in the logs about the overgrown tracks disappearing we had an extensive look at the area using Google Earth. We were not totally sure but did pick up some features which we thought were sections of the track. We identified three waypoints (in addition to the turnoff from the Mount Roland track and the cache location) and these proved invaluable. The points we identified were S41 28.847 E146 16.810, S41 28.903 E146 17.065 and S41 29.029 E146 17.530.
As we headed towards Mount Roland we looked at the turnoff, found the start of the track but it disappeared within 20m. So we decided to continue on to Mount Roland and make another decision about Falling Minnow after we had completed that walk. On the way back we had time (we thought) and Falling Minnow was now the only cache on the mountain that we had yet to find. So we set off and this time we followed the track for about 80m before it disappeared. So we set off through the button grass and scrub towards our first waypoint. This was a trek as we came across many wet areas and at one stage one piece of button grass that looked secure didn't support one of us and one very wet y'stassie was very busy retrieving the GPS and a backpack (containing a digital SLR) from the water channel while the other could not contain her mirth. The concern was for the equipment but thankfully they were retrieved and dried off before any damage was done. As we neared the first waypoint we picked up the track again and, although narrow and overgrown with grass, it could be followed for long sections. Sirius' advice to watch the ground in front of your feet rather than looking for the sparsley placed marker poles (many of which had fallen over) was invaluable. When we lost the track we would set our sights on the next waypoint and picked up the track again. The track was lost quite often when we came to a thicker patch of scrub and regular bush bashing was required before picking up the track again. We though things were going reasonably well until we got to within about 350m of the cache. ..... continued in the following note

..... continuation from our Found log.
Then the scrub really closed in - the overhang from both sides of the track had obviously increased over the summer months and had interwoven to produce a quite strong barrier - where is Sirius' machette when it was required? At one point we appeared to reach a deadend as there was a wall of scrub all around and no evidence of which way to go. After looking around we decided to do some serious bush bashing in a particular direction and thankfully, after about 10m the track reappeared. We continued to encounter matted scrub barriers for the next 200m but saw enough glimpses of the track beyond to continue. After nearly 3km of walking we were not going to stop now that we were within 100m. Scrub bashing was then replaced by abandonment of the pack so that we could crawl under another scrub barrier. On the other side was a welcome sign "Minnow Falls Lookout". A few minutes and we were among the many conglomerate rocks looking for a cache. To our relief very accurate coordinates led to the cache being in our hand within 5 minutes - the cache and its contents were in good condition. As there was virtually no water going over the falls, there was a strong haze over the low lands and time was getting on, we decided to start our return trip almost straight away - not the area to be caught in in low light. The crawling and serious scrub bashing was repeated but this time we were confident that we were on the right path. Although we were able to keep to the narrow but overgrown path for about 60% of the way there were patches where we lost it again and our waypoints were invaluable, helping us to intersect the path again. We were getting extremely tired - it was the bush bashing and button grass hopping which took most of our enegy and there was only a gentle grade along the track. We were so tired that we stopped about every 100m to sit down and rest for the last 500m. We eventually got back to the turnoff on the Mount Roland track 3.25 hours after setting off. We were nearly exhausted and very sore but elated in that we had found the last cache on the top of the plateau. Thanks mrtack for the cache - we are not so sure about the walk but in the cold light of day we will probably view this excursion as a major personal achievement.
In handsight we would suggest that cachers planning this walk get extra waypoints from Google Earth - it would have made getting back to the track much easier when we wandered off.

For our upcoming trips we had been watching the ever changing long range forecast which over the upcoming weeks showed everything from snow, rain, strong winds and the sunny mild day we had. We came in from O'Neils car park and picked up a nice summary map for those who are not local it will give you an introductory idea on the tracks to these caches.
We headed up the easier route to Wolfgang saddle which was good to blow out a few cob webs that we where feeling. We saw a few potaroos on the way up. Once at GZ for Wolfgangs Saddle we came across some other walkers who did not look like they where moving anytime soon so we turned left on the track to Mt Roland to head for Falling Minnow.
It was good to have the way point to Falling Minnow as the track start is less than obvious. Our problem was we followed it for about 100m when we got into some heavier scrub and lost the track (it breaks to the left a little instead of going along as a straight compass bearing). With no track we lined up a bearing to GZ and tried to stay on higher ground. We bounce over the grasses however still found plenty of puddles. We continued like this for about 1.6km when 1km out we final saw our first trial marker and the track ( on the way back we followed the whole track which does weave a bit and many of the marker poles are knocked over or covered in moss). We where glad we did pick up the track despite being slippery and muddy because the scrub thickened. About 400m from GZ the track was totally over grown and we had a solid bush bash for 100m and a crawl in some spots. As we neared GZ we could hear the falls and set about finding the cache. We cache is in good condition and the log dry. We completed the signing duties and re hid. We then took the track down to the falls to see the transparent amber waters which made there way into a great plunge pool. Had it been warmer a swim may have been in order. TFTC. A fav pt from us.
Once back at Wolfgangs saddle the coast was clear but as usual we struggle with a D 1 hide as it took 5 min to find but it is good to have this as another cache on the route.
From the saddle it was off to Van Dyke. Great rock formations at the top and well worth the scramble to the top. We soon spotted the hide to find the cache in good order. Great views all around particularly over to Cradle Mountain Area which still has a bit of snow. With the relatively clear skies and light winds if would have been a good climbing day on Cradle Mountain. We had started later than hopped ( only got to the car park at 11.20am) but decided to push on the direction of Claude. Not a bad little track across the peaks with good views. We dropped into the saddle a bit before 5pm and saw Claude was still 2.7km as cross flies away as decided to leave it for another day. The track down to the car was certainly steeper than Wolfgang saddle and there where a few fallen trees. In the end we where back a little after 5.30pm. A great walk. A fav pt from TFTC

We did this from the Roland side. It was easier to follow the track than I expected although there were a couple of spots we had to pause and consider which bush it was hiding behind.
Had to put on long trousers though as the shrubbery became more than a little anti social, I thought it was trying to flay us alive.
Cache is in great condition and a nice easy find. The scramble down to see the falls was dry and pretty easy although we didn’t get to spend as much time there as we would have liked since we left the rest of our party behind so that we could come and do this and needed to get back to meet up.
The views were, as you would expect, spectacular and the day was beautiful and clear so we could see them at their best.
We have passed this track so many times in the past few years and yet never seemed to manage the detour. Thank you for the cache, it gave us the reason to finally make the trip.

On a trip with the NWWC we approached the falls from Paradise. This track is not signposted from the road but once found is marked with tape and walks through light bush most of the climb. The falls are viewed from the bottom and then the track wanders up a steep gully. A couple of fixed ropes are available to assist in extra steep climbs and a climb through a short cave is interesting. The falls are not easily seen from the top but the view from the lookout at the surrounding countryside is fantastic. The cache was found and we finished the walk to the Mt Roland track and then down to other cars at Gowrie Park.
Excellent weather to walk Mt Roland today 
We had lunch at GZ and I got it into my head that I was going to wander down to the creek and check out the top of the falls. Neribil said it wasnt far so off I went.
By the time I returned lunch was being packed up and we were off
The views were amazing and well worth the couple of hours detour from the main track.
Thanks mrtack

Have not been to the falls for a few years and I was amazed how little the track has been used and how it had grown over. May have something to do with that the sign to the falls is no longer there so visitors to the area do not know it exists. What a shame. These are my type of caches and beat drive bys hands down. Anyway in the company of Red Tag and 4 members of the North West Walking Club I led a walk to this area and to pick up a few caches on the way. Soon located and signed and after a quick lunch then on on to Mt Roland. Thanks
Came back to finish off what we started the other day.
Left the car at 9:15am with sister, nephew, and friend. After a while, nephew and I decided to try to push on faster so that we'd have time to get out here to this one. Really glad we did. Pleased for the coords for the start of the track, don't think we would have found it otherwise. Also pleased it was winter as could be very snakey in summer and we couldn't see our feet or where we were putting them most of the time. But we could walk fast on the button grass plains so made good time. Track easy enough to follow even though it is quite indistinct (worst in first 100m) and really only like an animal track. Wonderful when the bush clears and the views open up at the lookout. Nephew said he'd never seen such a view. Had a bite to eat and took photos (which I'll have to wait until Thurs to upload as left the cord to put them on computer in Hobart). T pink ball, L nail clippers, SL. Walked out in 40 mins; then up towards Roland to catch sister and friend. Thanks for the cache mrtack.

Continued on from Rolland in the Clouds.After finding start of track..coords are 41-28.853 146-16.147 headed off on what can only be descibed as a very narrow wombat track.Don't try to search for track markers..keep eyes peeled to ground..markers will come to you.Pretty gentle grade mostly..with just one creek ...just flowing...750m in.Track a little overgrown towards end..but not too bad.Found cache easily..in good nick still.Great views..looking down onto plantation areas...where I've been ..looking up to this very spot..wondering how the hell I was going to get there.Walk back out..even though gentle grade was becoming tiring..pleased to get back to Roland track.Finally came to Mt. Vandyke junction...will I or not??Bugger it..I'm already up here..plenty of time..though feeling a little exhausted..let's go.Continued in Vandyke #2 log.
Thanks for excellent cache Mrtack..epic journey.Cheers.

Rated: for Overall Experience
What a top cache, a great walk in on the best day weather wise we've had for a while. View from the top was outstanding today. First half of this walk from the carpark is fairly easy, just climbing all the time. Once the creek is crossed it steepens up but once the plateau is reached it is a nice cruisy walk. Took about 5 hours all up to do this one and we really enjoyed it. Took pin and left badge. Thanks for this one, we like this sort of cache.
TFTC seriously gorgeous day! Great spot for lunch. Sat down about 4m off track on nice flat rock and looked behind me to find cache. I must either be fitter since starting Fleet to Fed or the track is just nicer being long but 90% flat. Loved the crak crak of my walking stick through the ice! Caught up on all the wonderful science friday podcasts I never get time for. (Borrowed hubbies ipod permamently!)
T keyring L grand canyon pin and souvenir from HK
3 Reasons to do this cache: You want to test new gear before a serious hike. It's going to be a wild flower wonderland in a few weeks. It is not as far to drive as Cradle Mountain, the weather is sooooo much nicer and you will have the alpine meadow all to yourself. You want to actually use your GPS. Unless someone machetes/marks the track again soon it will dissapear in a few key spots.
Didn't really know how long it'd take to do this walk and after walking for 90 minutes realised we should've started a lot earlier than 1pm!! So I shouldn't really call it a DNF, should I? Very wet today and every now and then the mists lifted just enough to show some stunning bits of the mountains. I will be back - when there are more hours of daylight!
Could not believe that this was still yet to be found so thought that we might do something about it.
After a very leisurely stroll up from Oneills Rd we gained the ridge. We couldn't find the track at first so reverted back to map navigation and decided to go to this one trackless. After winding our way through buttongrass for a short time we crossed the track. After 2.5km of getting scratched by the overgrown track we arrived at GZ.
After searching on, under, beside all the rocks on the outcrop we finally came up with the goods.
FTF for Team Hingrock
After signing log we swapped a golfball for homer.
The walk out seemed to take a long time but was uneventful.
Thanks Mr Tack. This one would have to rate as one of the more demanding caches in the state.

Turn off? Missed it - vague directions didn't help me when i lost old map from Library showing track on the way up. Went too far, Crossed the Creek and went to the saddle so did Roland cache instead as the weather just beautiful.
