Was just out for a drive in my geo-moblie with the geo-buddy hunting for a couple of mermaids perched on rock cairns (one appears to be gone altogether, the other we didn't reach due to losing light). As I drove by here I couldn't help but notice a pretty pile of rocks right on the very edge of the road. Pulled up to take a look and found a post nearby also. Looking around from my vantage point up on top of the rocks I could see there would have been great views here once, and this cairn would have been wider and higher. Couldn't find any vanes, but might when easier after a drought or bushfire as the grass was thick and long all around.

Just managed to get back out the gate and onto the road when dusk was turning from grey to black. Phew!

Good find. Fun day.

A great day out which included 4WDing with a geo-buddy. It's always a good day when you see a trig cairn like this. There's more to explore in this area.. I think we will be back!
Thanks for the cache Smile
