The Hills' Hill Cecil Hills, New South Wales, Australia
By kevinto on 07-Jun-15. Waypoint GC5X30E

Archiving by request of @Ngaambul and with respect to the guidelines as the GZ is no longer accessible.

Unfortunately this walking track and the general area around it has been fenced off by the council and is no longer accessible. Thank you @karlymb for the log.

Thought I’d give this one ago so I drove up to the recommended street to find that it had all been double fenced off but the park signs were still there and one of the other logs said they had to enter by another street.
So I got back into my car and drove around to where I thought could be another entry point and found there was only one fence this time which was much easier to climb through. Ignoring the sign on this entry which said ‘no trespassing’, I climbed through the fence and followed a trail on stepped on overgrown grass which I assumed to be from previous geocachers up the hill.
At this point I assumed that this place was one a park with perhaps even concrete pathways which they are now preserving. I persisted though and made it to the gz which consisted of some trees and overgrown vegetation. I searched around for about 30 minutes to no avail. Checked logs and looked at some photos people had taken when I realised that this place is not in the state that it once was and that the cache is probably far gone now. Attached is a photo of how overgrown the area is, practically impossible when you are supposedly looking for something on the ground

Found It!
This one took a lot of searching to find, it had gotten a little buried since the previous finder was here. Eventually I found it. Nice views from up here, but I bet the view was even better before all those houses were built!

What a hill if a hill!! I had to walk straight up through thigh deep grass, from the only nearby street that wasn't fenced off. But I found the cache and the panoramic view. TFTC qkevinto

Went for a walk with my friend and decided to do Geocaching and I found it!! Loving it!! Thanks Bonita for doing this

Located at 9:32am. #927.

Had some time up my sleeve and came back to this one. Access was clear this time and I quickly found my way to the top. Excellent views from here. My name was soon in the log. Very happy to have to cleared another cache in area. Cheers for the placement.

Большое Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

9:24am. Footpath closed for renovations. I shall return. L’chaim!

A steep climb up the hill, but an easy find at GZ. Top views from up here. TFTC

Out today with Brewmaker and The Bebes finding some caches in the Fruit Trail series and other nearby caches in Elizabeth Hills and Cecil Hills. After the trail, we continued on to this cache. Parked the car near gz and then it was just a short walk up the hill.
Read the hint (which helped) followed the gps, and The Bebes soon had the cache in hand (with some natural camo cover). Signed the log and replaced it all as found. Great to get some unloved days on this find. Nice view from up here too. All up it was a successful and fun day out. TFTC

OCW Brewmaker & GeoDudeAU

Up the steep hill and we were rewarded with unloved days and a quick find

Great view from up here

Looked around everywhere but no luck

Out caching with oldmorty and frazeydaze.
Quick find
Thanks for the cache

Feeling very tired after an energetic morning, and facing this steep climb to the cache, was not my sort of fun. But it was an easy find and what a great view. Huge houses in this area of Sydney. TFTC kevinto

After successfully completing a number of caches by Rainbow Spirit earlier in the day it was now time to search for some other caches in the area. We dragged our weary legs up the hill and made a quick find thanks to the generous hints. We admired the views but were not impressed with the ridiculously big houses. TFTC kevinto.

I was able to have a day away from the place of employment so I thought I'd head out and grab a few caches. As luck would have it I targeted a few hotspots and quickly watched my numbers climb for the day.

Finding the cache was easy, getting to GZ was the harder part
Thanks to all the CO's for the finds today

Awesome find! Quick find!

#4378-Today I was flying solo. I could have stayed at home and done housework, but why?
A gorgeous day outside, so caching I go. I guess this is why I love living in the mountains- great views! Thanks for the cache and the light workout and steps up the hill.

Tftc! Great view!

I had to look back on previous finder to make sure I had the right spot. This was deep witch made it difficult to spot. Finally found it. A favourite point for that view in the late afternoon. Tftc

Took us a while to find this cache. It was well covered, almost buried. TFTC

What a view!!!! Ran the stairs up... Holy moly...

Great views, quick find. Log signed.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Great views

Amazed to find a cache here not owned by Rainbow Spirit!!! A nice quick find in a good spot.

**OCW Delloro today, we decided to grab a few caches in the area. What a perfect day for a stroll, or if you have ever walked with Delloro, an Olympic Walking event...Grabbed this one pretty quick, with the help of the hint. Thanks Kevinto.**

Yep. This was an impressive hill alright , our 3rd and biggest of the day. Lovely views across Cecil Hill- so many mansion sized houses. Love the camo. Blends in very nicely into the surrounds. TFTC!

I took the hike up the steep path and on circumnavigating the location found the cache concaled by some longish grass.

22/5/16. 3:06 PM. Cache #3870..
5th of 6 finds (plus 1 DNF) in Cecil Hills.

I came here after finding "Bridge, What Bridge?" and headed to the suggested parking WP. From here, looking up the path to the top of the hill, I could see people that might be right near GZ. Hmmm, this could be tricky.

Up the hill I puffed, and as I got closer I could see that it was a couple, canoodling quite close to where I might want to search. I kept going and checked the signal - looks like there might be one or two places I could quickly look but after that my presence might creep them out.

But thanks to the generous hint, I had a very quick find indeed, so I could grab the cache, walk off with it away from the muggles to sign the log elsewhere. As I walked back, they got up and walked downhill, so I could quickly put the cache back and walk down behind them at a safe distance. Phew, that could have been tricky! Next target was "Liverpool Water #1". TFTC.

Found cache on way back from finding Liverpool Water #1.
Nice spot, SL TFTC

Nice one

Full log to follow

oh my goodness this hill was steep but tftc

Find Number 3323

The Booo's found this cache!

What a walk, and a veiw thankfully the an easy find.

Thanks kevinto for placing this cache

A warm walk up the hill for an easy find thanks.

A nice work out this morning to get the heart pumping and a quick find at the top of the hill. It appears that some NYE revellers had been here to enjoy the views but sadly left all their rubbish behind, thanks.

Awesome
Very clever

What a fantastic view, an early morning find for me with a nice steep hike to get the blood pumping.
TFTC.

I like caches like this. They take you up a hill and show you a view. Panoramic, to say the least. I knew what I was looking for based on the clue, and it only took a few trees until I found it. Thanx Kevinto.

Bit of a jog up the hill , log a cache and back down against n. Some grumps decided to have a carton of beer and leave all the rubble Sh behind. TFTC

Don't often get to this area of Sydney - so it was nice to get a good outlook over the 'burbs

Fantastic view

Rode from the high side not wanting all those steps. Found and rode back to m7 and home. Great view

Met up with snoopy at the bottom of the hill and together we made the slog up. Much easier in this case not to use the stairs. I followed the arrow on my iPhone to a nearby tree and after a short search made the discovery. SL #2022 on streak day #1082 TFTC

Streak Day #711 - Met up with ris768 at the bottom and ascended up the hill, we chose to walk beside the stairs as it was much easier, ris came up with the goods, SL and checked out the view and descended down the hill to our cars. TFTC

A steep climb for an easy find. Now to go down. I like downhill returns!

TFTC.

I remember walking by here before to find other geocaches. They seen to keep on coming.
Thanks for the cache.

Congrats Rainbow Spirit on being FTF, I'm not surprised! I'll definitely be looking at placing some more caches around the area, seems to be little lacking.

How come there is always muggles at a cache? Three young guys admiring the view not more than 25m from the cache and two people doing intervals up the steps when I arrived for my FTF at 5pm...

Great views indeed, and I love people hiding caches near to where I live. Keep 'em coming.
