A small waterfall hidden deep in Beard Gully. This is best visited in late winter and spring, when it is flowing with some small rapids.
The Hike
There are several ways to access this cache, however there is no track going all the way to the cache. I will break down the recommended route. The circuit took me approximately 3 hours, taking into consideration 2 factors. 1: I am quiet fit. 2: I stopped for over an hour searching other locations, taking coordinate averages and a lunch break.
Please do not go cross county to access this cache, there is mine shafts and private property surrounding.
1. Park at Miners track and follow the old vehicle track down until you meet Sutherland Creek. Turn right, and walk upstream. The gully is narrow in places and often has small cliffs and rock ledges as well as small pools. You'll need to meander as you go, sometimes in the creekbed, other times higher on the grassy flats.
2. Following this river, you'll eventually come to the falls.
3. Pat yourself on the back for accomplishing the mission.
4. Continue upstream, until you head the trailhead of Deadman's Loop. This is marked by orange markers. Turn right and leave the creekbed. Follow this trail through the trees, until you reach a large grassy flat. Take a right at Wrixon st trail head, then turn right on South Stigletz Rd to head back to Miners Carpark.
Alternatively, Park on South Stigletz road, walk down deadmeans loop, turn left into the creekbed, and follow it to the cache location.
