A Trig point and a Cave all in one

I had been told about this and it was on the plan to do on Sunday,but plans do change and we found our way out that way on Wednesday. It was only a little further like 5.4 kms but that was as the crow flies. It took up twenty mintues to get there with the road getting more and more narrow,we had lost the bitumen quite so time back.

There was a parking suggestion but we opted to park and walk, it wasnt far but pretty steep. I had to stop and admire the view a couple of times on the way up.

We had read that the trig point was covered by trees and unable to be seen until one climbed the rocky rise. Lycy was having a ball, running here and there and back again.

Yay, there is the trig point.
Here are the views over Canberra from a littlefurther up.

We had to come down a bit to find the cave, Warren offered to go down the rocky slope to find the cache, he was searching in the cave, my bad, I had been told that it was on the edge of cave no needto go inside, I had forgotten to tell him that.

A few anxious moments for me when he had been gone awhile, five minutes can seem like thirty minutes when there is no one around and no sound except the birds in the trees.

Lucy came bursting through the bush and then hurtled up the rocks to the trig, then I heard Warren calling for her. All were reunited and made our descent to the car. Project gc tells us it was an elevation of 1341 metres, very goodfor stats and also the d/t rating,it was a 4/4.5 plusit was quite old,bonus points alround.
