Situated between Spit & Parriwi Roads, in the Mosman locality of The Spit, is a narrow sandstone ridge with a scenic lookout at it’s northern end. The small parcel of elevated bushland is known as Parriwi Park, and the lookout has commanding views over Middle Harbour and the Spit Bridge, being the southern gateway to Sydney's Northern Beaches. Access is via Upper Spit Road or Parriwi Road.
The Cache is a quick & easy 2 stage (WP1 & Final GZ) Multi-Cache. At the lookout (WP1 posted coordinates) you will find a sign, where A = the number of “General Prohibitions” and B = The number of “General Warnings”, and a seat where C = the total number of timber slats used in the seat's construction.
Final GZ = S 33° 48.C(B+C)(A+C) E 151° 14.(A+C)(B+C)(A+1)
While the main feature of the cache is the magnificent views from the lookout at WP1, there is also an interesting 19th century rock engraving that can be seen very close to final GZ. Beware of the dangerous cliffs at the lookout and around the park. Close supervision of younger geokids is strongly recommended. Dogs are allowed if on a leash.
We hope you enjoy our sixteenth geocache placement.
