Stopped by yesterday to look for this one, but it is no longer there, three of us looked for it to no avail.
looked with MrT and rogerw3 on our way back to Blackheath, but none of us found any sign of it.
Not sure whether it was cache blindness or whether the cache has rocked on. I couldn't find it today sadly 
Great start to day 3 of our Blue mountains trip...as the drive down to this one was wonderful. Lovely and green and the place looked a million bucks. Once at GZ the cache was soon in hand and all was good. From there it was back up to the "town".
Thanks Team Canary.....*Recommended* for the drive through the area.

Found on a weekend geocaching trip to the Blue Mountains with Sol de Lune. First cache of the morning - this was a nice one to start off with. It was lovely to drive through the windy road with all of the beautiful bushland around it. Once we got to GZ, it was a very quick find. Fantastic views of the cliff faces! TNLNSL. TFTC Team Canary!

A drive down to the valley on a sunny winter's afternoon and a stop a little further along the road for a full vista of the eastern cliff lines. An easy find, the cache a tad exposed but all was well. TFTC Team Canary

A very pleasant visit to the valley for bushwalking around the Breakfast Creek area, up past Dunphys. A quick stop here on the way out, before heading home.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,

I stopped of on return from splendour rock dawn service. Great view of the hydro and if you cross the road you can also see the route up to radiata plateau known as blacks ladders. TNLNSL TFTC
Heading back up the road after a brief visit to the valley we pulled over for this quick drive by. Impressive escarpments all about.
It has taken a long time, but I did finally get to log this cache.
On a caching day out with the CO and pjmpjm, we were driving by this cache so as the only one who had not found it i was quite pleased when the CO said to stop here and the cache was soon in hand.
Thanks for the cache and I was not stumped by it. Amazing views back up the cliffs.

It was a very interesting drive into the Megalong Valley - the trees in particular were magnificent in places and in some areas, the rocks outcrops were spectacular. Once near GZ a quick find was made. The cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC.
After getting Daylight, we were driving back and stopped to get another ICEM cache. I made the find quick. Thanx.

After a nice drive down into the valley the cache was an easy find for the birthday girl. Nice one.

We were up at Blackheath for the market and decided it would be good to come into the valley to score this one after the talking to Canary on the phone about his son, who unfortunately broke his arm. Hope all is well. Cheers.
A joint find while out today with bikerbuddy, NickoHeap, Garks & Rowboat. Rowboat made the find here, she was very pleased with herself.
You chose a great spot for this one, lovely location .

.You don't normally see a geocache sitting around for a month, waiting for the FTF.
But I was taking Mrs. pjmpjm for an outing down into the Megalong Valley and so it was . . . discovered a completely empty log book!
All was in very good order -- nice and dry -- and from GZ we enjoyed the views of the cliffs in the sunshine and the famous Hydro Majestic sitting up on top, far away.
Many thanks to TC and Tiger!
