Geocache Description:


125r: A bit of a dismal name for the highest cliff in the Watagans. We had an absolute blast on this road. Realising that our aim to hit Barbara trig before nightfall was rather unlikely, we decided to look for another spot to camp:

Being so blessed with such an amazing sunset, we were more than pleased to spend our night here, with perfect starry skies. The next morning, we woke up to yet another celebration of life and existence with a spectacular fog and early morning light blanketing the valley and ridges:

A quick brekky and looked for a spot for the cache. Wandered down the small track leading to the other lookout, this one with wider views. Standing on top of WP1, I saw this:

Once at WP1, traverse 5m N. Here you will be required to count the number of posts. let this number be called "A": To the southings subtract ((A+A)xA^2). To the East portion, subtract ((A^3)/(A+A)). In case you are having a little trouble finding the pole/s maybe consider "Are there any poles??"

Accessing the cache: We drove in along Georges Road. There were a few puddles, but nothing very deep or boggy. I would say that most 2wd could get to about a Km after Narrow Place lookout, about 2.5km from WP1. We got a RAV4 within 40m of WP1 and very close to GZ, but getting out, I was thankful for the 4WD button to get us up a spot. Realistically, any vehicle with more than 150mm ground clearance and AWD could get here on a dry day. The cache itself is a 200ml sistema under a large rock. I apologise if you expect an amo tin for coming all this way, but amo tins are too dear, too big to fit in small holes, and I simply don't have any swaps to fill them with. Keep the Geokidies on a tight leash as the cache is about 1.5m from one of the tallest cliffs in the Watagans. Oh yeah, did I mention that it is not fenced? Happy Caching!!!
