After a hint from the CO wr solved this over dinner with Tassie Trekkers and Whitewebs the dtive to gz was taken and after a long search we came up empty even when the checker gave us a tick .maybe next time we visit we can look again
After meeting the CO at the CITO and getting a hint to solve this puzzle, we solved it over dinner and did get a set of coords the checker liked but at GZ under torch light we could not locate a large cache. There were no trees that fitted the hint only smaller scrubby bushes and blackberries. Oh well another trip. Thanks anyway.

Was with the CO when he put this out. Now that the FTF has finally been claimed, I can now log (with CO's permission).

Hadn't even seen this one til about a month ago....and it's been here for almost 6 months. 
Tried a few things but couldn't get any numbers that worked. A small hint revealed another possible line of attack and once that line was honed in on...everything looked a bit better. However, there was still another couple of things that didn't line up. Ended up leaving it overnight...and with a fresh set of eyes (and another google search) those two missing links were found. A closer inspection of the GZ formula showed another issue that I'd missed, but with that finally sorted......a GZ was revealed...and the geochecker approved. Woo hoo.
So today it was a drive up the highway with LuckyL10n to grab a couple of pre Christmas caches....and this was one of them. Once at GZ, LL missed it on the way 'up there' but all was good and the cache was soon in hand. Opened the log to see a muggle has also found the cache a few months ago, but just left their name and date. Very pleased they did the right thing and didn't remove the container.
Thanks fitzy_1965....and interesting puzzle that taught me a few things about the subject/s......

#GA3361 - 11:15; Took a leisurely run up the highway with Sol de lune to Goulburn for a couple of caches on the run into Christmas. After a productive trip up a nearby hill, we headed over to give this cache a try. Found a convenient park and set off for GZ. I thought I had spotted the cache on the approach, but that wasn't it. As I mused, Sdl told me to look down and there it was at my feet! 
Anyway, happy to claim the *FTF* with Sdl for the find today. TFTC fitzy_1965
