Approached this one by walking around the Western Sydney Regional Parklands. Being a week day not many people around in the park. Didnt take long to find the prize when at GZ. Signed the log and replaced as found. tftc

#GA2528 - 15:55; Day two of a caching run to the Blue Mountains with Sol de lune. After making our way through to Katoomba yesterday, the plan for today is to head a bit further west as far as Mount Victoria before heading east again through Medlow Bath, Katoomba (again), Leura, Wentworth Falls, Hazelbrook and Woodford, before heading on to the Sydney International Equestrian Centre (SIEC) at Horsley Park for some new caches, then hit the road for home. After plenty of wandering in the bush up in the mountains, with a bit of urban caching thrown in too, along with a prearranged meeting with alnic39, we were now back closer to sea level and had reached SIEC. This was our first stop and it was great to find the cache, along with a blank log for our first *FTF* of the trip. TFTC HansJJ Very Happy

Sol de lune

On the way home from a 2 day caching run with LuckyL10n in the Blue Mountains and we had decided that these new caches had to be our final stop.

Have been around the area before, so knew where we might be going. Parked at the entrance for the walk and headed in along the path. Great to see the picnic area along the way, I wonder how often it gets used. Soon found at ourselves at GZ and the cache was quickly found. Great to see a well stocked cache with a well prepared log book...puts a few of my caches to shame.

Once the log the signed, and the FTF claimed, the cache was replaced and we took the walk back to the car.

Thanks HansJJ.....neat area, now with a neat cache. Recommended Very Happy
