Description
So, are you off to a GZ at the top of Urambi Hill, or will you just follow the trail around to a GZ a bit lower? Either way, you will have some nice views over the lake and the Tuggeranong CBD area.
To find out which path you need to take, simply work out the answer to this question:
At the posted co-ords, is the gate you need to go through, a step through style, or do you need to actually climb over it.
If a step through style, then GZ is S35 24.344 E149 03.750
If you need to actually climb over the gate, then GZ is S35 24.183 E149 03.322
Have fun...and enjoy whichever views you find yourself at.

Logs
After attending a nearby CITO, I came here to start grabbing multis for my Research task. This was a quick find and after adding my name to the log I replaced the cache where I found it. The log is slightly damp but able to be signed. TFTM Sol de lune.
Cache has been damaged by water as it wasn't sealed properly. Unable to sign logbook. I'll return here and put in a new log book and plastic bag.
A long day caching in Canberra that started with a park run at Lake Tuggeranong, some caches in the lake area and then a move all over Canberra to end up at the event at the southern cross club. Lots and lots of walking and even more hills, but that's no surprise in Canberra. Secretly I actually like the hills and the views that come with it. Only a few DNF's today, my bad and all caches were in good condition! Thanks to all the owners for placing them.

Coming from above, I managed to get a view of the gate without having to go all the way down. Headed over to GZ for a quick find.
Thanks,

One would think this was a relatively straightforward multi. Yet Loki still managed to misinterpret the instructions 
. Good thing we were visiting both Top and Bottom today anyway. Thanks Sol de lune
. Good thing we were visiting both Top and Bottom today anyway. Thanks Sol de luneWell, you know me! If there is a fence or gate involved, something ungainly is bound to happen. I have no idea how I managed to squish my gnads, could have something to do with the bleeding flies who were up every available orifice. Nice walk to the cache, didn't really need to trouble the Runkeeper (but I did). Pleasant views and an eligible scavenge - Go Cerberus

#GA1058 - 16:20; I was at the movies last night when these were published, but it was past my bedtime by then anyway. No such problem this afternoon, although the weather looked threatening and there were a few showers on and off as I made my way around the CO's newer caches and a couple of slightly older ones. This was the fifth stop and the oldest of today's finds. Naturally this one has been on the 'to do' list for a while and being double points was enough to entice me this far south for the hunt. Gathered the required information, calculated the corrected coords and made my way along path and track nearly all the way to GZ for the find. TFTC Sol de lune

The gate: well, that's all a matter of opinion, what do I do with the Mountain Bike?????? Had to think like a walker! (That's a weird sensation!) .
Coordinates derived, then off to the cache, and yes, nice views too, Thanks.

Nice quick find after arriving at GZ, which was easy to determine once at the start! Yep, some nice views. Nice large container. Interesting swaps in there, but didn't make any swaps. Thanks SDL.
Found on a lovely morning on Urambi Hill. Well, this was a case of misreading to the absolute extent! We misinterpreted the meaning of "style", so after walking a reasonably hard distance, we went to a GZ where we found nothing. Luckily, there were other caches nearby, so it wasn't all a waste of time. Then we decided to go to the other coordinates, where it was a very quick find. Nicely sized container! Lovely views from here. TNLNSL. TFTC SdL!

Had a feeling from the beginning I knew which point it would be but figured I would check anyway. Sure enough my initial instinct was correct. Was hoping for a first to find on this but alas GA cacher let me down by not updating logs (either that or Boot logged it online really late) so I was somewhat disappointed when reaching GZ. Still a 2TF ain't to bad.

After spotting a few new GCA caches on the web site, I thought I would take a look. This was the third. The WP was soon sorted and I was off to GZ. After some slight geomobile adjustment, I made a quick stroll to GZ. Another blank log greeted me for another *FTF*. Sweet!
Thanks Sdl for another neat little multi.
