Description
GZ is beside a walking path around a small lake sandwiched between the old and new Hume Highways.
There is plenty of parking at the nearby Rest Area, which features a substantial stone shelter, featuring old iron wheels worked into its side walls as vents.
Of course, I like the wheels!
The shelter was built as a training project with the support of many local organisations. Their names are on an information board on the shelter. It has a picnic bench and there is water, but its BBQ, like the toilets, are out of service.
Nearby, you'll also find a plaque bearing the image of a Ned Kelly Helmet and the words McDonnells Hotel.
I'll leave you to research the meaning of that!
I did find an item online mentioning fishing at the lake. Maybe you'd like to give that a go too!
The cache is a sistema container, painted brown, containing a log, pen and swaps.
Enjoy!

Thanks for another cache hide Whheels. This interesting little place certainly deserves more visitors.
I found the GC cache here then realised there was a GCA one as well so I went and found this one to. Nice little park.
TFTC
Cache in good order too.
Thanks
Thanks Whheels….neat little spot.
A quick sprint to GZ today where the cache was quickly found in the obvious place. Loved the little frog in the container but didn't have any swaps on me so had to leave it there.
Last cache for the day after an early start after disembarking from the Spirit of Tasmania at 6.30am this morning.
Thanks.
Dad took the nice short familiar walk to GZ to find the cache very easily, and signed our name in the log. Now back on the freeway for the long haul south.
Thanks for the nice stroll around the lake Whheels, on our way northward to the Mega at Queanbeyan
Travelling through the area with geovan in tow we stopped and thought we would try our luck here. Surprised ourselves when we actually found it after the previous DNF. Cache and contents in good condition and finding a blank logbook we will claim [*FTF*] @ 12.30 hrs. Lovely spot to stretch the legs and have a break.
