With a big walk around Goorooyarroo canceled due to key players being on COVID isolation, I decided to target the caches in the reserve that were not on the general walk. I did the original VC series along the Gas pipe road soon before they were replaced by the CCT series. It has taken me this long to get enough motivation to get to the inner ones. It was a fine if chilly morning and I had a great walk.
On my back to the car I detoured past here to collect the remains of the cache for LuckyL10n as it has reached the end of its life.
Thanks for the cache

Whilst I was out caching after work, I had a look for this one. It looked like a very likely spot, with a few options, but I did not manage to turn up a cache.

So much for the sleep in!! Up early to beat the heat, and so I could get to the event this afternoon, and headed over this side of town to go for a walk in this area. I see the 'predator' fence in the area is being update....and looking at it, it may keep a....actually no....I don't think it will keep anything out. If that's someone's idea of a predator proof fence, they need to take a good, long, hard, look at themselves. 
Anyway, as for the cache, I parked the car in a familiar spot and headed off. Through the new gate and on a bit further til it was time to head bush. Once at GZ the cache was soon located and the log signed. From there it was back to the car to head home. Even at this early time of the morning, getting back onto Horse Park Drive was an effort.
Thanks LuckyL10n...I now know more about distances in this area.

It was a nice walk in this afternoon for a quick find at GZ. Not many GCA caches left in the area now !
TFTC LL !!

I'd stopped for lunch at the nearby VC rest stop and noticed some GCA mystery caches nearby. Awesome. This will help get me started for the Christmas in July game. So while I ate my lunch I set about solving this. Thanks for making these puzzles easy to solve in the field. Lots of interesting info too. And I discovered an area that I really want to return to. The location of GZ is lovely. Not a breath of wind and not nearly as cold as I thought it would be.

928. Another find in a string done with Winglen plural. I hadn't really paid attention to the GCA flurry that occurred but once I decided I might start caching more regularly again these GCA puzzles were everywhere. SO I now have over 100 unsolved and almost the same number solved... It's gunna take a while.
TFTC and the java.

A nice little puzzle, quickly solved. A pretty little spot for GZ too.
Thanks for the cache, LuckyL10n.

2nd mystery of the day (of 6!). I've been past here many times, but didn't realise this great little dam was here (complete with great logs for sitting)
