Directions:
Climb up path to the main formation, once level with the rock wall to your right, keep left and ascend a rather tricky scree slope. You are actually on the sieving mound as you walk up. About 15 - 20 metres up you will can see the cave behind thick vegetation screen on your right

Updated GPS on 24/04/2009 by NW. Cave is obscured by trees and bushes and is up on the NW side of the main obvious formation.
The site is in a bad state. Water is successfully diverted near the entrance but there is a pool of water dripping along the right hand edge of the main excavation causing an erosion gully. All around the edges of the deposit further sliding has taken place of the deposit. Rubbish was also seen at the back of the shelter.
