This is an Offset Cache where you need to answer questions about the Rock Lookout to locate the actual cache. This is a short walk to a lookout located at the end of Fairlight Road.
You will be overlooking the Nepean River & eastern side of the Blue Mountains National Park.

When you reach the rock lookout please keep well back from the rock cliff edge & take care with children. The rock lookout is partly fenced but not much so take care. Below the rock on river side there is some small & large caves.

The cache is a bucket with many tradable items in it, the lid may be a little difficult for some to remove, an arrow is on top of the lid to direct you to which corner to start with on removing lid. Please when returning the cache, make sure the lid is firmly closed & push back as far as you can to stop any chance of muggles.
