Geocache Description:


Not too hard a puzzle to get to a spectacular location. To get here will take some willpower, a high level of fitness and probably a friend to give a helping hand (or leg up) along the way.

This puzzle requires you to find the image capturing the view from(roughly) where the REFERENCE POINT way point for this cache, IT IS NOT WHERE THE GEOCACHE CONTAINER IS LOCATED!!! You must match the correct image with the corresponding coordinates below:

A: S 33 30.321 E 151 09.908
B: S 33 30.153 E 151 09.931
C: S 33 30.001 E 151 10.480
D: S 33 30.021 E 151 10.857

Our journey out here started at Jolls Bridge, however, it is possible to start at an emergency phone on the northbound lane of the freeway. This spot has ample parking for 4-5 cars. As we left in the afternoon and completed this as an overnight hike (it is easily possible to do within a day if you choose to do so). At our campsite we got some amazing views:

We found it best to keep the cliff edge within sight and to stay up as high in elevation as possible. Crossing the "ditch" we found slightly tricky, however, don't be afraid to go further up to find an easier place to cross. After climbing up the other side, the other two soaked in the views as I looked for a good spot to hide the cache:

Don't worry! I didn't put it here!

After some more spectacular views:

I settled for some where a little easier to get to. Here are some extra hints as to where the cache is:
