Geocache Description:

The Watchtower had a good run, but got muggled.  Time for a new spot .....


When I first put out The Watchtower (aka MOG #1 Version #1), the johnnos told me about a large overhang nearby that he had contemplating putting a cache in, but I had now blocked the location.  Well, now I have blocked it even more :)

I had a good explore of it, but it looks like it is heavily used based on the footprints, and there was nowhere to hide anything bigger than a nano / small, so in the end, the cache is a few metres to the north. But still worth a visit while you are there!

To me, caching is all about the trip to the location (and there are a number of different ways to do the trip as per below), so make use of the spoiler photo to help you with the find.

To get to GZ:

  • You could start as per the provided waypoint, go around via where The Watchtower used to be (S 33° 44.581 E 151° 14.517).  This will lead you to the tree-ladder-of doom (as per the spoiler). This approach is above t3, and shouldn't be taken too lightly!, or
  • You could park as per the provided waypoint, find a safer way down the cliff (there are some spots about 100m to the North), or
  • You might be able to park on the Wakehurst Parkway, and make a cross country trip (I could see a dirt road in that direction).

Setting up the cache, I took the second option on the way in, and the first out

And for those working on the series, take note of the card stapled in the log book. Sorry, but with the muggling, I have run out of cards to give out
