Cache – with all caches it’s a walk on the wild side – well maybe not in this area. Basically, a short walk in the bush which has many walking tracks / cycle tracks from the main grass area & from the formed walking track. So, it’s up to you how you tackle this 1, the short way or the easy way – it’s up to you. Cache is a regular– a 3.5 litre container with swaps.

- cache replaces & burn't cache taken away - a hint from No2 go back to track & a track will lead you to cache - enjoy
it was time to do my exercises - mental health cache checks . also with my work hours changed due to COVID-19 i'm able to complete cache checks on my way home 
so cache was checked & well i spent a bit of time searching for it
. it looked like a fire came through here some areas were not burnt & some areas were. as i hid this under a log - photos supplied are a thousand worlds - will remove old cache remains when i replace cache - so will replace cache in the near future.By then we both decided to call it a day and leave number 4 for somebody else!
Thanks for the cache.
Ok, time to head a bit further up and grab number 3 in this neat little series. I walked in heat before but today was a hot one. Found a path/animal track that took me close to GZ before heading off in towards my goal. Once there, it was once again a huge cache that greeted me, filled with all sorts of interesting stuff. I didn't take anything, however flipped through a couple while signed the log and taking more water on board. Once the cache was replaced, I sort of follow a track on my map that eventually took me back to the first path I was on...and back to the car.
All up it was just on 50 minutes to do the GZ circuit. Would be quicker in cooler weather that's for sure.
Thanks again HansJJ..another FTF. I've found a few of your caches over the last few years and they are always of a high quality...so thanks for the effort you put into our game.
Recommended points for all 3 in this series.....
