This cache was placed on a recent hike with a bunch of muggles, after starting at the Jarrahdale end and walking into Serpentine falls, I stopped here with the group on the way back to have a quick rest and place the cache. It is a magnetic hide on the bridge here, underneath bottom left-hand corner when approaching from Jarrahdale.
I recommend you do the whole hike and follow the trail all the way, as it is a very enjoyable, albeit long, even if your legs will complain a bit the next day, it is a sense of achievement and a beautiful hike that takes you across several different bushscapes.
Plenty of water, good shoes and time are essential for this adventure. I parked at the Jarrahdale cemetery, if you decide to start your adventure at Serpentine Falls, expect a fee and be aware the gates close at 5pm. Whatever end you start be sure to check out the falls.
Have a read up on the Kitty Gorge trail before attempting, there are several good guides to be found online "The Life of Py" is a good place to start as to what to expect, the author does this hike true justice with his experience and pictures, capturing how it feels walking this amazing trail.
