Great little spot. I just went, sun was shining through the trees.
I wasnt sure where to dig around, decided to get a friend with me next time.
What you should bring before you go down there: a plastic bag to collet some rubbish (ill bring some next time too) we all can make the world cleaner just by always having a bag with us when wr go geohunting , proper shoes (no thongs), aerogard, time, and get a stick to get rid of spiderwebs which are in the way.
Happy caching!

Lovely little creek here! BeckNmonts ventured down the creek to make the find. TFTC benwoods2000
LouLou0212 and myself headed here to see is she could make a find to cross another DT grid square off. We were able to make the find, which was great! TFTC benwoods2000
Second time lucky. I looked in the right location about three times before I decided to dig through the leaf litter and made my find. TFTC
Didn't find it unfortunately, though I expect it is still there.
Had to leave after it got dark and we found a pair of dirty underwear. Sad about the rubbish, but still a nice area.

We knew where it was straight away. But could not get to it. Looked around but then came back and found it

Missedya - We attempted this one just as the light was fading. We did not hang around too long as the rubbish and time of day put us off.
Found with lance91. Pity about the rubbish. I'll have to remember to bring rubbish bags from now on
Plenty of rubbish around, thought cache was some rubbish too till opened it :s

Quite a tricky find as there were so many spots for it to be hidden and the rubbish was a real put off but I continued on my venture and found the cache after about 10mins! TFTC
My navigation was a little off today, with a few map reading difficulties. We could have parked closer to this cache, but a nice walk ensued. I picked this cache up honestly believing that it wouldn't be the cache, proving that its always best to be thorough.
Thinking he had picked up some rubbish, rassilon256 was all over this one while on the phone as well. Multitasking at its best. TFTC!
Long way around and a scramble across the creek. In a few minutes I had the CIH. Did the duties. TFTC benwoods2000.
TFTC,
Today is all about numbers. I am trying to achieve 3 per day for 2015.
Visited trackables.

Found while in the area finding cache's to try to achieve Wazza9's goals he had set himself for 2015. This took a while to locate, we also took the long way around. Thanks to benwoods2000
Find 13. Tricky at first but found eventually with our torch...also found a lizard or snake curled up under a ledge nearby. TFTC ☺
#3536 - 16:15; I was in The Gong for the weekend and the day's work done, it was off to the hotel to freshen up before the night time event. Decided to grab a quick cache on the way. Perhaps I shouldn't have picked this one as a quickie! As previous ;logs mentioned, the iPhone wasn't the best under cover of the trees, but something in a previous log entry saw me widen the search and I soon had the cache in hand. Log signed, cache returned and it was off to clean up! TFTC benwoods2000
Happy to find this one after earlier DNF. Glad I don't have to come back! TFTC.
Thanks to the latest logs I could find it. Cache is no longer a regular. It is a micro, mint tin.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
As previous logs mentioned - place needs CITO, The bag of rubbish was too repulsive to touch this time around.
Sharpies box among the rubble.
Cache is in location previously mentioned - it has concrete clues to find.
Be careful

We think we know where it was but there were too many dirty nappies between us and it. The rubbish in the area makes it a bit unpleasant.
You're not kidding about the name. Unfortunately, people also use this location as a dumping ground for their rubbish which makes it an unpleasant experience. Couldn't stomach CITO. TFTC.
TFTC - log getting damp... Plus I located it amongst rubbish.. Cache in Trash out people..
Took a little while to find by the boys while I stayed in car with the girls. Boys came back all wet for the rain not the creek thankfully.

Argh, so many mozzies, the three of us got eaten alive. So much trash at GZ was a bit wary of grabbing the container. We couldn't pick any trash up as we were not prepared for any caching today and only decided to grab this one after being in the area.
Found this cache a while ago but I forgot to log it found it with Rowanking97 TFTC
After jumping onto a nail, bloss and I found the cache shortly after. Off to the doctors I go
Was on a bit of a lucky streak today and managed to find this cache fairly quickly and easily. SL TFTC!
After searching pretty intensely, i had to give up. This was a massive and disappointing no find due to the exciting size and potential of this cache
yew finally after a few times searching finally found it id nearly given up.a few weeks ago but i saw a few logs saying its there so on a drizzly Monday i grabbed it but its right about.a phone being useless
Fantastic find. We have been looking for this cache for so long; quite a few months. Early clues were pretty helpful. TFTC.
Took us a while to hunt this one down. Throw out your phone GLS, these trees will make it useless.
A fair bit of glass around, I wouldn't recommend the Geokids come down here, unsupervised at least.
Loved the tricky discovery of this one. Thanks to some previous clues we sort of knew where to look. Just as we were giving up hope I noticed a likely spot that we hadn't looked at yet.
Thanks, we had a bit of fun finding this tricky hide - recommend increasing the difficulty though. Cheers.

Finally. It IS there, and it isn't near the broken glass and rubbish by the creek.
With my mate and my older boys (youngest doesn't help with this one) we had so many eyes and finally found it with some concrete clues. This is indeed a quality hide, though please... 1 star is just too low.
Persist around the path people.
Found with TheRomulans, Chiller250 and Liam264.

Spent quite a bit of time searching with no luck even after reading previous logs. Found a likely hiding spot, but was empty. Will keep an eye out to see if anyone else can find.
Looked at everywhere matching the hint from previous finders, but no joy. GPS not much help so packed it in after a while. Will keep an eye on this one and see if anyone else has any luck.
Got to gz, searched everywhere we thought of, read logs and were sure we had it, there's at least one spot that seemed spot on but we didn't find today , will be back soon
Found it after a 10 min search but very hard to sign because the log was wet/damp. TFTC
We were determined and finally found it...as someone else said 'a concrete find' left a few swaps with planet161
2nd for the day with ozartist very tricky the other logs helped as this has no clue!! Read carefully what others have posted!!! Left some treasure
Leeathome's log proved to be the winner for me today, thanks for the cryptic but clear clue...and thanks to b2000 for placing the cache.
Used to live around the corner so had many tries previously in my early caching days was inspired by nhoj knowing that it was still there and jagged this puppy
Tftc. Missed it last time but took a prev finder along to rid it of my 5km traditional radius. cachehad water but emptied. Logbook pretty dry however!

GrimRaider and I had lots of fun finding this cache today. He had me doing dodgy creek crossings which he videoed in the hope I would fall in! We got to GZ but it took a while to find the cache. Meanwhile the mozzies were having a feast on us... Lots of fun though. The LB was quite damp so we added some new pages and put it all in a clip-lock bag inside the cache. TFTC benwoods2000 - lots of fun
Nearly got a vid of Kittykatch going into the creek. Not quite tho damn it!! TFTC.
On a day's caching with ' Lee at home' this was our fifth for the day. It definitely is there - the log is a little damp but quite OK!!! TFTC
We were here a year ago, this time with a better device, same problem. Tree cover causing issues, broken glass everywhere, lots of debris and loose under growth. I'm not comfortable with my kids in here, so writing this one off. I feel this is not what geo caching is about.
