Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed with the true adventurer in mind. It requires special skills and equipment to access. It is called "Drop Dead Gorgeous" because of the gorgeous views and other reasons that will be explained below.

The cache is located near Blackheath in the Blue Mountains . The co-ordinates given are the exact location of the cache, but you will find it requires Abseiling/Rock climbing equipment for a 30 metre descent. The Stash is sitting, sheltered and comfortable, somewhere inside an old car that has been pushed to its' death and rests on a narrow rock ledge. The ledge is still high above the valley floor so it is not safely accessible by any other means. A rather interesting and challenging place you will agree. In the cache, amongst other things, you will find some energy bars which you may need for the difficult ascent back out. Also the first finder will find some cash to help pay for your petrol or gear hire. This should be an exciting find but don't attempt it without the proper skills. I have rated the overall difficulty as 5 even though it is easy to find once you get there.

Many thanks to SNAFUADV (Colin and Narelle) for their great help installing the stash.
