I recommend approaching this cache from the nearby river crossing, but stay on the east side of the river, where the vegetation is more forgiving. Stay above the worst vegetation and descend only to cross the river at the closest point to the cache. At this point long sleeves, long pants, gaiters and gloves may be beneficial since the vegetation is prickly. Take the spoiler photo along if you like, the cache is best retrieved from near to the tree trunk.
Now, while the first two caches in this series can safely be done solo, I strenuously recommend that you do not tackle this cache on your own. The final approach is steep and treacherous.
To do the whole series leave one car at Caloola Farm and then set off from Mt Clear camp ground.
It took us 8.5 hours, including the Max and Bert cache.
Thanks to mtbikeroz for accompanying me on this cache laying expedition.
