We have been up here before to find a GC cache but did not realise this trig was here. Today whilst on our way home we made a bit of a diversion of the main drag to find it
Got DangerMouse09 to have a look for it, but he insisted it wasn't there but after wandering all around & not finding anything Jase went for a proper look & soon noticed it
Thanks blingg & Geocaching Australia

Found the cache while out caching with Lazarus. We parked about 1km away and walked up to the cache, lovely day for a wander in the bush. I have been up here before and had taken pictures of the trig point, that was before I knew about trig points, so has to return and officially claim the prize.

Parked on Lockwood Road and walked 900m up hill, following the mountain bike trail, many kangaroo about.
Otherwise perhaps Gunjin Rd may be more suitable for 4WD.

Had this one on the to do list for today. Drove up and parked next to it. A few mountain bikers were about ... busy place here it seems.

Out caching with the kids in the hills. Came across this one. Was pretty busy for an isolated area, over a dozen mountain bikers and support cars.
We were out on a mountain bike ride today, and came past this station. I was surprised to find out that it's been more than 12 months since this has been found. 2 for 1
In company of Everlasting and found this marker after doing a few caches in the area.
