Geocache Description:

The penultimate cache in the series.  Once you have the card from this one, you should have everything you need to locate the ultimate one.

I stumbled across this track whilst trying to find access to somewhere else.  In the end, I didn't ever make it to somewhere else, but I reckon this spot is much better anyway.

I've given a way point for a convenient parking point (S 33 43.618 E 151 14.774).  From here follow the 4wd track down to the bridge and its artworks, go under the bridge, and follow the creek for about 30m.  You should then be at the trail start (S 33 43.504 E 151 14.727).  After this, it is a reasonably straight forward, but winding, walk up to the cache following the trail.  The cache is best reached from the ledge - a good place to gain the last bit of altitude is slightly past the cache at S 33 43.422 E 151 14.769.

Of course, feel free to plot a straight line course from Maybrook Avenue if that is more your kind of thing :)

Once at the Leap be careful as there is a drop, and in true Chudles style I made sure the cache is worth its terrain rating by putting it in a slightly precarious position.

Make sure you take a card!
