I’ll need to talk to some finder before I go again.

I came through last weekend for the trigs and had my second attempt at this one. Like it was 6 months ago, I found a few good spots where I thought it could be, but nothing.

A day out with the boys, Sol de lune and LuckyL10N, to the footy and some caches along the way. Another one collected and now time for a U turn.
Thanks Homedg for the fun.

On a run to Sydney for the footy and headed in this way on the way through. Took a couple of minutes, but the cache was soon in hand all was good.
Thanks HOMEDG.....

#GA961 - 12:35; A plan was hatched a few weeks back to head up to Sydney to the football with Sol de lune and Boot65 and today was the day. It was a 4:30pm start, so we made an early start to include some caching on the way. After an early setback due to a bridge out along our preferred route, we made our way to Appin after a detour through Campbelltown. Arrived at GZ and parked the geomobile to find some muggles involved in water quality testing at the gate. After a chat about the park and the best areas for views etc, they headed off on their mission and we set about ours. Narrowed the search down to the likely spot and soon had the cache in hand and the log signed. TFTC homedg

On a 'gong escarpment trig road trip with rogerw3.
A stop here for Southend TP6123 a short walk up the fire trail with a brief seek for this GA cache.
Fresh out of the GeoReindeer and the Garmins refused to settle, so it was decided to walk to Southend and have a further look on the return.
Found after a brief seek, safely tucked away, in good condition and including the archived GC logbook too, for a double!

Found with Just a cacher. We went to find a few gnomes in the current GA race, and a few older ones that looked lonely.

Out with Black Bunny for a drive. We just happened to pick up a few gnomes, and other caches...
This cache was found well inside the National Park. Perhaps it could be relocated a few yards to outside the gates?

We found this one over 6 years ago when it was a GC cache. Still took a while to locate it! TFTC!

Found in company of Winter Wolf & grand- (oops: geo-) kids. Took a bit of poking about to unearth the well hidden cache. A nice slice of peaceful bushland next to the busy road.

After an entertains Cub Scout Training Course I took a detour here for a fairly quick find.

Found it today after visiting the Teebee Trig further along the track. The cache is still in good condition and well hidden. TFTC.

Found today with one the neon-knights, and looked up my log record from it's previous life on GC.
Still in good order, though not being visited very often now it is only on GA.
Cheers.

I'd found this a few years ago, but back again to visit from a GCA perspective. Dropped by on my way to the Cuboree at Cataract Scout Park to visit youngest son Jeremy who was having fun despite the leeches and wet conditions.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache homedg!

Out here today to do some re-con work on getting from the 10B to the 10A fire trail without having to walk along Appin Rd as I have another bushwalk in this area coming up soon. Was stoked to discover someone has marked out a track from almost directly opposite the 10B information sign all the way over to the 10A trail.
Did the cache, headed over to the 10A fire trail and decided to keep going and do the whole Iluka Creek circuit.
8km bushwalk and two caches. A good day.

Found on 16th August 2009 as a GC cache but figuredif it moved to GCA, so could my log!
This was a nice stop on our way home. I was sorry to see that the nearby information board was totally empty. National Parks don't seem to have enough funds for the upkeep on lots of these important bits and pieces which is a real shame. Luckily we have cachers like homedg to show us some of the good spots though

This cache has been transferred from GC.com and contains a trackable item from that site. Would appreciate the next finder collecting it and relocating to a GC.com cache.
Thanks in advance
