Whodunit Geocache

Description

This particular cache consists of only the bronze survey plate which is set in a precast concrete block placed at ground level, but has no trig-station framework above.
The 'Triangulation Station' marker is what makes it a Trig Point, so it's added to the database.

This marker has an associated stamp ID value 77508.

It's located within the vicinity of "Mount Little Joe" summit.

The track leading to the summit and nearby trig is a wide-open, but steep fire trail access track.

Look for 2 large metal marker posts as a reference point for location of trig marker.
A small rock-cairn has being placed over the trig-marker to protect it from the any accumulation of dirt/scrub.

Using the web-based "Survey Marks Enquiry Service (SMES)", the Mark and Alternative names have being acquired.
The official name for this cache is "Little Joe-Warburton PM 150".
Dated: 29th December,1977

Headed out today with the intention of chasing some GCA caches as well as doing some Oxfam Trailwalker training.

This is one of the toughest parts of trailwalker, they make you climb this hill after you have done around 98km.

wow, what a hike. that steep bit was slippery after the recent rain. made it. now to get back down on 2 feet!!

Located whilst hiking to the summit of "Mt Little Joe,Warburton"
Parking available at "Old Warburton Rd"
Look for sign "Back Stairs Track To Warburton"
Walk towards the locked gate (Don't take the left track as it will take you away from the summit and the trig).

After a short 5-10 minute walk, there will be a side track which is very steep but flattens out on approach to the summit for a nice gentle walk toward the summit and trig.
