You'll be happy (or maybe even horrified)
to know that as of 10/10/05 this cache is now back in action,
the only thing that has changed is that it has a new
container
This cache is located in quite a rugged area that requires a
little climbing to get to. One way to approach it is to use the
trackhead located at(S)33'42.14,(E)151'04.85. However if there has
been very heavy rain you may have to find another way. As always
take care near the edge of rock ledges especially if they are
wet.
PLEASE NOTE. The area of this cache has been
devastated by some very frustrated searching for the stash. Oddly
enough it was this very devastation that created the increased
difficulty of finding the stash in the first place. It even took me
a very long time to locate the cache which was completely hidden
under a pile of broken trees and shrubs. On 11/07/2002 I cleared
the area without moving the stash so it is once again visible for
others to find. Now your hardest job should be finding your way
back to the track, for your safety do this with great care, a
backtracking GPS or a compass is probably a good idea in this sort
of terrain.
Good luck and enjoy your search for "The Rock Hopper"
