Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the “Mid North Coast Wander” series of 201 caches. The series will take you on a magnificent journey highlighting this spectacular region. Starting at the base of Middle Brother and finishing at Pilots Beach Dunbogan; this 160 km trail is truly quite stunning and we are sure you will have a wonderful time touring the area.

Refer to 001 – Mid North Coast Wander for the full details of this cache series.



From this location, catch glimpses of Big Nellie, an imposing volcanic plug towering 542 m above sea level, and experience its commanding presence from a viewing platform located at the base.


Although there is a walking track that leads to the start of the climb and there are faint painted markings on the rocks to kind of show you the way, NPWS don't really encourage us to go up there. Speaking to a ranger from the Manning NPWS, he arranged for the following wording to be crafted by their legal department. To be honest, I cannot see why NPWS have to be so careful for other peoples actions - we are really being dumbed down aren't we by the vocal nambie pambies who will not take responsibilities for their own actions.
