Geocache Description:



Waypoint-Cache


Finding your way through the Box Vale maze.



You will be walking along The Box Vale Tramway. It was built in 1888 to carry coal mined in the Nattai Gorge to the main southern line at Mittagong. The line passes through several cuttings, a tunnel, and it ends at the "incline" by which coal was brought up from the gorge. The Colliery was closed in 1896 and the tramway was abandoned until 1996 when it was opened as a four-and-a-half kilometer bush walking track. Additional information and maps are available from the Visitors Information Centre in Mittagong. Mobile phone reception should be available on this part of the trail.



The posted coordinates will take you to a pleasant location which just happens to be very close to a gate at an intersection between the Casuarina Cutting and Kells Creek. The spur trail that branches off at this junction is an ideally situated corridor leading to and from the Forty Foot Falls. The cache is an easy hike and grab, and right along your way should you happen to be strolling from Kells Creek to the Forty Foot Falls. While you're at GZ see if you can spot the derelict ute that adorns the walls of this passageway.
