Our first target of the day was the old Two Dogs cache "Tower 126" (http://coord.info/GCG2MB) and the story of that is related there. But the added incentive for this long walk was an unfound trig a mere 200 metres beyond the cache. It was a cloudy old June day but no rain at this stage. After the cache we thought we might find an old fire trail to the trig which was sure to be on a high point here. Well there's no trail at all. We had a pretty solid bush bash for about 130 metres before it thinned out a bit and finally bashed our way to GZ to a spot with no view at all due to the growth of the past 30 years.

Found the trig as described except it's in the same condition as Taber, the PVC post was melted in a bushfire, probably the one in the early 2000s. It's a sight indeed. Nearby is a circle of stones which is the remnant of the original stone cairn. It must have been a good size. The plaque is still in place on the pedestal and other than the melted mast it's in good nick! What was odd was that there was a plastic bag taped to the mast with two soggy envelopes inside. The plastic bag had almost completely decayed as it fell to pieces in our hands. We opened the envelopes which both had the same five digit number written on them to find a small laminated square of paper with the number '10' in each. We can only guess that this was part of some orienteering game in years past where the competitors never made it as far? Who knows? A mystery.

Bashed our way back out - this bashing wouldn't have been too bad except for the fact that we'd already walked 5.5 km and had that far to walk out afterwards!

Worth a visit for anyone coming for the geocache.
