Geocache Description:

A 2.5 km walk and 250 metre climb to 917m to fantastic views over the Lanyon Valley and Rob Roy Nature Reserve.

PLEASE NOTE:

From Thursday 29 April 2015 through to Saturday 1 August 2015, the area for the GZ of this cache will closed during evening hours due to a Kangaroo Cull. Professional shooters will be in the area during this time.


DO NOT ENTER DURING EVENING HOURS This note will be removed once the cull has been completed.

Jan 2014 UPDATE: This land is no longer owned by the owners of Rob Roy who handed it back to the government due to the hassles of managing land on the urban fringe.

This distinctive pair of peaks with a saddle in between is a prominent feature in the Lanyon Valley landscape. The saddle is used by the ACT Hang Gliding and Paragliding club as a launch point. There is a trig point at 924 metres, which I have listed on GCA and waymarking.com.

After you have completed the cache Ged would appreciate any reports of any problems such as cut fences, stock in trouble or dogs worrying stock, etc.

I placed this cache at the end of a 16km walk that took in the following caches on the way:
GC1MNJE - Neighbourly Neighbours - Mt Tuggeranong
GCGBZC - Tuggeranong's Top
GC1D1NB - Prickles, Poos and Views
GC1YFJE - I've got the power
GC1BMT6 - Eagle Mountain?
GC1YJ0N - Rocky Mountain
GC1Y7E0 - Tank Valley (DNF'd)
GC1HVQQ - Am I watching YOU????

**** FTF honours goes to Sol De Lune ****
