Making my way up to Moreton Island with wayn0, we had to drive through this area for an appointment and had time to kill, so wayn0 decided to show me some really cool views. I can see why this road is called Panorama!!! Sadly the view from the cache wasn't so panoramic. Snapped the required photo but forgot to put myself in it.

I spent a few hours earlier today kayaking and hiking to find a Trig location that is visible through the trees at this Trig location. It’s interesting finding multiple Trigs that reference each other. I think I would have enjoyed being an ol’ school surveyor. A simple park and walk for a couple of minutes to get to this one. The witness post is gone but the tree blaze mentioned in the survey sketch is still here even though nature has done its best to delete it. Some nice views up around here. Thanks for the cache Smile
