Description
Cache is NOT at the published co-ords......but it is a little higher up the hill.
Another cache placed for the SSS game of 2016/2017. GZ will give you some neat views over the Canberra suburb of Conder, as well as the rest of the Lanyon Valley and the southern end of Tuggeranong. To find GZ, which is at S35 27.ABC E149 07.DEF, you will need to answer these few questions based on the area. Wikipedia will be your friend.....an once you have GZ and you make it up there, you will be able to find a few other caches as well. Hope you enjoy the walk/climb.....along with the great views.

I don't know if we picked the hard way, or what, but what a climb!!!
We got separated on the ascent (Teeven initially didn't want to climb, but did so about 5 minutes after I did).. so Finding each other at the end was fun..
TFTC SDL!
Being a local, I know the easy way up here, far far easier than the direct assault. A mere 45 minute walk from home and I had the cache. Then went a bit further up the hill to check on my GC cache, and took a pic of the 3 suburbs, Conder, Gordon & Banks. Thanks Sol, a pleasant early morning walk indeed; now to go and do some real exercise for the day .....
