Geocache Description:

There are two caches in this area at present and this one will be placed between them.

Vehicles (including motorbikes) and horses are not permitted in the park.
I would recommend that you check out both these caches GC1X979 ....and Cleo (im) patra and GC1DXCE Mt Sugarloaf as they have a great deal of information in their cache notes.
As per the Parks Victoria Notes if you have an emergency help can be contacted by dialling 112 and pressing the YES button if you have no reception.
Do not attempt these caches if it a declared day as all walks into the bush should be cancelled due to the dangers of being in a very remote area on these days.
Tell someone your movements before you leave and if possible have a partner to go on these walks.
The aim of this cache is to allow you to find three caches that are off the beaten track in the Pyrete Range (part of the Lerderderg State Park). As this is a catchment area the only access is by foot or mountain bikes.
