Geocache Description:

A bonus find for anyone hiking into the Corang lagoon and cascades.


When we were invited to go on a six-hour walk in the Morton National Park and noticed there were no caches in the vicinity we thought we should place one. The cache is actually located just outside of the National Park. [Note there is no cache note because we didn't get a chance to print one before we went. Anyone venturing that way could put one in :).]

The cache container is a small Sistema container with log book, pencil and a few trinkets. It was placed with minimal camouflage but requires a bit of climbing to access. There are spoiler photos below to help pinpoint the location, but if you are at the western end of the cascades that run from the main (pre-cascades) lagoon then you are in the right area.

The walk in took 3.5 hours, including a couple of stops (we had late primary and high-school aged kids). Also posted is a waypoint for a junction in the trail at about the halfway point - take the left fork to continue to the river (the right fork heads up to Corang Peak). The lagoon is suitable for swimming, and there is a camping area (no facilities) adjacent. In general, a great area for a picnic and couple of hours' water activity. This walk is popular with walking clubs and many reports can be found by searching on the term 'Corang lagoon' or 'Corang cascades'.
