Cache – with all caches it’s a walk on the wild side – well maybe not in this area. Basically, a shortish 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 7 litre container with swaps, at GZ a view.

Logs
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 
did the walk up here as I was VERY worried
that it was burnt like No 2 & 3 
- I was very excited to find cache A OK 
- no moisture inside & contents A OK - cache on when its all over 
Have been around here before, however it was time to come back and grab this latest addition. Walked in via the previous 3 so LL could grab them and then it was on a bit further for this one. Another great size cache, stocked with lots of goodies. Log was soon signed, the view admired before we headed off back along various tracks and back down to the car park.
Thanks again HansJJ….hopefully more locals will get out here and have a look around. There is certainly room for a few more caches.
