This is a nice easy bushwalk in the Steiglitz Historic Park. The cache itself highlights the Old Dam wall - which itself has been breached when floods came through. It's quiet a cool sight.
Where the dam is breached there is a big drop off - you don't need to go there - it's not safe.
The Walk
The easiest way to access this cache is to park at The Pines Carpark and walk in along the Burchell Trail. There is no need whatsoever to bush bash - it's on a track. My recommendations however is to do the 8km Steiglitz Circuit. The purpose of this cache is to take you for a walk into some of the bushland.
You'll pass some interesting sights on the way and beautiful bushland - there is nothing strenous or steep.
The Cache
Your looking for a 200mm sistema.
