Description
A late entry into the Blue Mountains telephone series.
These things just keep popping up. I thought the series was going to be a small one, but as I drive around looking for geocaches, I keep find phone booths in obscure places. This is one spot that seems a bit obscure. Speaking of obcure, this one is named after a song by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty. Very cheesy!
As for the style of hide. I get the impression that someone is looking after these phones and they must get cleaned every once in a while. I am losing bison tubes at an alarming rate, so and trying this flat, magnetic style for the time being.

No problems here. Samuel went in and came out with the cache.... 2 years+ of unloved too.... 
He had a play with the phone, 'what's that sound Dad??' - I had to explain a dial tone to him.... Now I feel a bit old...

Nice one! A phone box in a sort of quiet street. A quick find. Signed and returned as found. TFTC

#GA2509 - 11:10; 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 at Horsley Park for some new caches, then hit the road for home. After some wandering in the bush near Mount Victoria and then Medlow Bath, we were now back at Katoomba for some more urban caching. Getting good at locating these ones as I've now had plenty of practice. TFTC alnic39

Another quick find as we continued our run down the mountain. No problems here and a quick find was the result.
