Geocache Description:

NUMBER 4 IN THE WORONORA RIVER SERIES.

This is located not far from the Needles causeway that separates the salt from the fresh water.
There are 3 ways to get to this - via the fire trail from Barden Ridge or the fire trail from Engadine.

It's probably easiest to do by boat but is about as far as you can navigate upstream.

*** CAUTION ***
If you do come by boat be very careful of submerged rocks - especially at low tide.

For those that don’t have one, there is a boat hire place in Woronora. I recommend calling them before heading out to check on availability.

For your effort you will be rewarded with not one, but FIVE caches that are part of the Woronora River series. The other four are:

- Breakdown and Makeup (contains the co-ords for the Deepwater and Shackels caches)
- Deepwater Estate (contains half the co-ords for Breakdown and Makeup)
- Shackels Estate (contains the other half of the co-ords for Breakdown and Makeup)

- Ruined Castles

You can also walk or ride your mountain bike to the cache (although it's a steep walk/ride back up).

- From Barden Ridge, follow the fire trail that comes off Old Illawarra Rd.
- From Engadine, follow the fire trail at the end of Woronora Road.

There is a well defined track that follows the river but is a little above it. You'll see a metal railing going down to where the cache is - it's pretty steep.

Back at the causeway, there is a fabulous swimming hole that is used by many of the locals in summer. You may need to cool off before heading back up the hill!

Now to the cache.

Unlike some of the others in the Woronora River series, this is a traditional cache - just go to the co-ords!
