The south-east corner of Queensland is home to some of Australia's finest and most spectacular wilderness areas.
We are very lucky to live in such a varied and beautiful place.
This cache will challenge you both mentally and physically, but you will be rewarded with a great sense of achievement and will have visited places many folk never get to see. Welcome to "Herbz Challenge - Our Backyard" - Good luck!
The cache is NOT at the published coordinates. To locate and log it you will need to find at least 8 of the 10 caches we have hidden in the Springbrook and Lamington National Parks listed below.
You will need to collect the special "Herbz Challenge" numbers at the back of each log book. Using these numbers, you will then need to solve the puzzle below to reveal the coordinates for GZ.
GZ is located at: S 28 04.ABC E153 15.XYZ
