Logs
As here are unresolved notes amongst the logs about this cache being on private property I'm disabling it until the owner resolves the land ownership position.
A scramble past a section of broken chain link fencing near a driveway soon had me cache bound. Heard a thumping noise nearby as a wallaby bounced through the bush. The cache was easy to find with the clues given. TNLN, SL, TFTC

What the heel is up with that massive round thing??? not quite sure of what to make of it.

Well, that was interesting. Came in from the cache site further up the hill, wandered down and around many paths, past some old mine sites, all very interesting. Then found the tank, then the cache.
Now, where am I and which track did I take???????
Ok, I just wandered up some more tracks and eventually found my way back up the hill to the car.
Thanks for an interesting cache.

where to start ,
we started at the hole in the fence with two very clear DO NOT ENTER and Abononed Mine Sight signs. we follow the track leading around the place and come to some "large rocks" and come across a very obvious and disappointing cache. Why would you pile rocks on top, it gives it away, and the cache is not in that good of a condition. Advice to anyone thinking of going, DONT. Tresspassing for this is not worth it.
You can do better buddy
TFTC anyway

Some one needs to check if this is on private property or not, as the gates at the begining of the track quite clearly state that it is private property. Just because there is a large hole in the fence to walk through does not give permission to enter.
The second sign backs up the abandoned note in the cache page.DO NOT GO OFF THE TRACK! THIS USE TO BE AN OLD MINE SITE!
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE FALLING DOWN ABANDON MINE SHAFTS!

This is definitely on Private Land. The sign says so as you climb through the gate when coming from Rocky Railway Railway.
Nice walk anyway. TNLNSL

Found this one at 11:15 am. on a very pleasant sunny day. Once we found the right entrance we were of on a pleasant little stroll in the bush.
Took: Excavater. Left: 3 velro ties and a bee.
Thanks JAMAKAMAN3 for the cache.

A nice cache with a walk on my b'day. Had a bit of trouble locating the trail but found it eventually. Don't really see how it is private property.

Sure looks like private property.
Good hide JAMAKAMAN3.
Took TB to hide elsewhere.
Just a tip for all the cachers thinking of coming up here: "Take lots of Aerogard cause the leeches are thick at GZ"

My gizmo had me going every which way, then I decoded the hint, which helped a little bit. Then I started to search for foot prints, and was able to find faint prints leading away from the cache site - some quick back tracking and I soon had the cache - well done on hiding such a large cache in that location, its a good hide. And Happy Birthday!

A nice little walk to the cache. Signed the log and grabbed a TB while I was there. Mrs Gribbly didn't join me as she was not to happy about sign at the entrance. KC gave me a hint too.

After a huge weekend of caching it was nice to get home. No time to relax theres a new cache in town.
Found it after a pleasant stroll and a short search. Thanks for the hunt. Took the coin.

Just love these caches that pop up on my days off!!!! Another beautiful day in the Gong so off to the bush we go!!
I went in a slightly different way to the way I came out. That is where I say a sign about tresspassers that I did not like!! A great stroll though the bush and a bit of a tricky hide. Co ords were about 5 mtrs out by my Gizmo but found it none the less.
