Geocache Description:

The first in the Off The Beaten track series, where you will have to rely on your GPS to get in you in the right location. The Burns edition is a regular sized bucket placed approx. 100m off the Burns track. A good hike and bush bash should be expected!

The Pipeline track starts at S45 47.779 E170 30.818 and the turn off to Burns is clearly signposted a little way along.

My suggestion would be to plan to do the Burns - Rustlers - Pipeline curcuit (about 2 - 3 hours return). On this circuit you can collect Kashmir, Pipers Lament, Weirly Interesting Three and, with a short detour from Burns Saddle, Fergusons Creek.

Warning - You are strongly advised to mark a waypoint before leaving the track so you can find your way out again!

It would also be wise to remember that the weather can change suddenly in this area so make sure you are prepared!

This series hopes to bring a little more challenge into cache hunting and a little more reliance on that wonderful tool...the GPS...and your ability to find a needle in a haystack.

A Phish Market pathtag awaits the FTF!
