A cool spot that I never would have otherwise discovered. TFTF! Found quickly but there were some bubbles inside that have split so everything inside is wet. Tipped out the extra liquid but could use some maintenance
As per the hint, amazing location and thank you for bringing me to an area I would never have seen if it wasnt for this game we play
I've been meaning to do this one for a while as it's one of the closest caches to my house, and I was not at all disappointed when I got a chance to do it today. I got to GZ and looked around and didn't see anywhere that looked like what I was expecting, flat ground everywhere, then I took a few more steps in that direction and knew immediately I was in the right place. Very cool rock formations. Thanks for showing me this part of the world.
This is a great little area to go walking in, nice being up on a bit if a Ridge line
The feature at GZ is pretty amazing, even more so as we would have walked straight past it without noticing it if not for the cache.
Made a quick find and managed to use a handy extraction tool left nearby.
Thanks for the cache!

What an incredibly special place. Thank you for exposing me to this stunning geological feature, loved it
A good natural hide but plays into my worst fears while collecting. TFTC
After several u turns in the car, to get me to the start of the fire trail, i was off uphill. A pleasant arrival to the chorus of a few kookaburras, it was an enjoyable walk to get to gz. So close to civilisation, but could be anywhere or no where. To more bird calls of bell birds, and the occasional whip bird, i actually entered the large gorge and then found the intersection to the smaller one. Easy enough find, needing neither long stick or arms. Though the stick was useful to clear the cob webs. Tftc in this amazing geological formation.
Youngest geokid and I doing a run around the central coast this arvie to do some cache checks. I was supposed to be up at Port Mac today for a gig but this was the day of those terrible fires so the trip was cancelled. We were driving along The Ridgeway from our cache in Narara towards our cache at Forries and remembered we hadn't done Cutrock yet so we took the short detour to a peaceful and lovely walk for a quick find of our first cache find in Australia for more than a couple of months in fact. Nice to be out. Sadly, due to a completely new schedule lately due to work change, which can only be described ATM as busily chaotic, an unplanned day is what we required to get out and about today. TFTC, Six_Stars.

Well placed. Easily noticed and found if you are looking for it, but well hidden from the unknowing.

On my way to do some paradiddling when I thought I would detour here for a nice walk. As it turns out, it wasn’t the last time I walked down a narrow slot for the day

Found on a very windy Saturday morning visit to this beautiful forest. Beautiful spot and an interesting place for the cache. TFTC
Happy Star Wars day! May the Fourth be with you.
My first find with GeoJess. Great local find in my first week of Geocaching. I had no idea this trail existed. Great fun !
Thanks Six-Stars.

Great little cache in a fantastic spot, plus it’s a nice easy find. Took nothing, left nothing. Thanks for the hunt! Matt and Court
A last little trail walk in the area today. Nice climatic change down in the crack and interestingly different micro plants too. Noticed a special coin but no idea what it's about. Research needed. Thanks Six_Stars.
Nice to find an old cache still on pretty good condition, also had been nearly a year since last signed. Tftc
I think I have been avoiding doing this cache thinking it was too hard. I am not sure why . I parked at the bottom of hill and walked up. I saw a kangaroo bound of into the bush and found GZ easily. The cache was found without the use of a torch , I just had to wait for my eyes to adjust. Thanks for the cache six_stars tnln sl
I have no idea why it took me so long to visit this cache. Totally worthy! Simple, well explained, easy to find, but very well hidden! It showed me a track that I really like it. Will come back!

We spent the day caching our way through Gosford and Erina today, to find some new D:T combos, and some other special caches. On our way home now after Harmony Hill and Not So Triggy. A nice walk to GZ, then got confused.... coords to start of search area.... for a traditional? The GPS took us to the southern side of the track, where nothing fitting the description was found. Started again, went to north side of track - ah, I see..... Staring directly at the cache I could not see it without the torch - it blends in so nicely. Great spot too - the temperature in the slot and below was 5 degrees cooler I'm sure....

Today we had a GREAT day caching around Gosford and Tumbi Umbi, we found 19 caches and only 2 DNFs. Lots of big walks and aching legs!

What a great spot. Jumped into the cut and had an explore. Eyes adjusted to the gloom and a quick find was made. This one has been on my to do list for ages as it sits right on the edge of the 50km radius from my place on my map. Not any more! Less than 100 caches left inside 50km these days. TNLN TFTC
I've had half an eye on this one for a while, but decided this morning to go and grab it for my 400th find. The gap in the rocks is quite well camouflaged from above, but once down, reveals a whole new unexpected landscape.
The cache was well back into its hidey hole, but there are plenty of stick tools close at hand to help retrieve it.
As Wests Tigers Fan mentioned in his log, there are quite a few caves either side of chute and, aside from constant attack by leeches, my exploration was well worth the effort.
Thanks for the hide and for bringing me to this interesting spot.

Found 3:03 pm. I wanted to get out today and find my daily cache and more if I could. I also had a little mission to do back at a cache in Katandra reserve so decided to look along the ridgeway for possible caches including any GCA caches with one in mind in particular. I had completed my detour to Katandra and headed along the ridgeway and came across this cache as a possibility. I decided I'd take the short hike. I parked the geovehicle at the trailhead and headed up the track. I got to the posted coords and could see the reason for the cache name and looked down through the cut. The cache container was reasonably easily spotted, I am not sure if it was in the right spot but it didn't require reaching in too far. I did the obligatory log signing and then returned the cache to exactly where I had found it.
Now back down the track to the geovehicle. I was a little curious where one ends up if you keep going along the track but I didn't have a lot of time today.
Thanks for the cache.

BillHill531 and I set out early on our way to the Pi event and stopped for some caches. This was the fourth of ten today. The car GPSr said we could drive all the way up to this cache, but it did not know about the gate, so we parked and enjoyed the walk up the hill. We spotted a couple of weather worn rocks showing beautiful patterns of sandstone layers in bright colours. At GZ coordinates are a little off (but now reading the description it makes perfect sense). I went down and made a quick find. BillHill jumped across above me. I like rock formations like this.
Thanks for finding this great feature and sharing it with us!

After a bit of a walk up the hills we found the cutrock, and the cache was easily found - T4TC
Parked at the tops of the road, and walked the 300m up the hill to GZ - a hugs fly bothering me the whole way up but disappeared when I reached the top. When the numbers ticked down low enough I looked around, not seeing any rocks like I'd been expecting, and then spotted the cut rock. Der. Anyway, spotted the cache with the aid of the torch function on my phone and was back on my way downhill pretty soon thereafter. Spotted horse hoof tracks along the way downhill, then spotted the source of all the flies at the fire trail gate, thanks to the horses. I gave it a wide berth and was back in my car not too long after. I had left it. Cheers for the cache Six Stars - I've never ventured this far in this direction before
As I approached the end of the road I read the description saying "a short walk" and thought that the dirt trail was driveable. I drove up on it for 10m then decided I would just walk as my vehicle had the potential of getting stuck. As I walked up the track a locked gate ahead was revealed - thankfully I didn't drive further as I would have had great difficulty getting back down in my vehicle.
The GZ was pretty cool with the cache found very quickly and in plain site when inspecting thje rock formations. I explored a little further along the track and found 3 very cool caves. 1 had a bit of a crawl to get into (at which stage an owl flew out) and opended up into a decent style cave - very cool and worth a look. The next cave was much bigger and had a campfire set up inside of it. Another owl was spotted flying out of this cave as I approached it.
It is a must to explore the caves just past the gz when you come here!!
TFTC cheers

There was semitrailer stuck in a driveway at the bottom of the hill, not sure if he was trying to get in or out but he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon and had the road 100% blocked. My in car GPS said 950 metres to GZ so I thought I will walk it......!!!!! It didn't say it was all up hill...!
Found cache without much trouble and SL.

Ran up to this cache in the very fading light. In the end it was a pretty straight forward cache. Took the TB to move on tomorrow. We've had too many TB's in our possession for tok long so it's time for an offload.
Easily found. Nice area! Signed the log and left a 'Frietjes from Brugge' TB. Thanks for the cache!
Quite odd really. This one is the sixth closest cache to my home (not including my own ones) but yet ive cached in adelaide, melbourne, along the hume, in sydney, around hornsby, Port stephens, and the pacific highway north and also the new england. But it took me this long to get to an easy local cache that i could walk too. TFTC!!!
Too easy

I found this to be the most difficult to find so far. My GPS stopped me short of the search area and I couldn't even see a cut rock in the area I was searching. Had fun with my grandsons.tftc
A nice walk up to some geological goodness. We soon had the cache in hand. TFTC.
Found easily in a nice area. Will have to explore it more one day.
Found it while going to a friends birthday party.
Enjoyed the short walk
TFTC loved it

Tricky hiding! We missed the first time and then searched all over for other cut rocks in the area, when we looked harder we found it!
Reperio at 1635. The last cache for the day, and what an enjoyable way to finish off on. Parked down the road a bit and walked back up to GZ where I came across a couple of young girls who were probably wondering what the heck I was doing. After a quick hello, they turned back around and I was left to find the cache in peace. Whilst the GPS had me slightly elsewhere, I soon spotted where I should be searching from the description, and getting down to the right spot, the cache was located. All you need now here is a really big boulder to go in between the crevice...
Gratias.

Treked up to this one after wondering where the road was taking us. Tried to follow in the footsteps of Indiana but found it a little too hard to run down the rock cutting...
Grabbed the cache and completed the duties.
Have favourited this cache as I really enjoyed the walk and peacefulness of the location.

A narrow little road took Smurfyguy and me to the start of the track up to the cache. Lots of evidence that horses are ridden along here. Even though it was a cold day, the climb up sure got the heart pumping. Arriving at GZ I could certainly see the reference to Indiana Jones. Cache was easily retrieved, no need for long arms today. I enjoyed the lovely walk through some nice bushland. I liked the return journey back to the car too.... it was all downhill!!
Thanks Six Stars for placing this cache for us to find. This was a most enjoyable adventure.

A quick find after a nice walk. Took chipmunk and ben ten toy.left pterodactyl and compass ring. TFTC
Found in the pouring rain. Don't forget the torch and the salt. Took cow, left chipmunk.
A very pleasant walk through the bush along a good track to find this cache.
Obviously every other cacher has been reading the description well before getting there, as there are plenty of long sticks dumped at GZ, so new finders won't need to bring their own.
Left TB cow, some toys, TNSL TFTC

We were very excited to find our very first cache, and unbelievably just as we were putting it back in the hiding spot, some other geocachers arrived searching for the treasure (lucky they weren't muggles!). Thanks for the case, it was most enjoyable.
Enjoyed coming here again. Used to ride through this area many years ago on horseback before the time of caching. Knew it's hiding spot well. TNLNSL. TFTC
2nd for the day with the geonephew. Nice sneaky location very close to where I grew up.
Many thanks for the cache, great location!

Past it once before finding it. Collected 4 leeches and got bailed up by muggle living nearby!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious of a cache, we loved this little trek, and wasn't my apprentice absolutely stoked to call out 'found it dad' while I was looking on the other side. I was surprised this one hasn't been attempted for a while and was chuffed to pick up the TB to help on it's way. Thanks for a nice find, much appreciated. Oh and we picked up a few leeches while we were there, obviously hungry little critters from lack of cacher blood. Left some nice toy swaps and key ring etc.

Took the walk up the trail to find GZ then started looking. MrsFish couldn't find it until the magic light was brought forth, then we logged the find and left a TB and starfish from our school, but TN. The trail is popular with dog walkers and we saw other examples of the geology further up the track. Thanks to Six_Stars for the hide.
Beautiful spot on a stunning day. Will come back here and have more of a look around.

Very pleasant jog (it was starting to rain) to GZ. I am still amazed after so long living in the area these type of places pop up.
Found ok. Enjoyable short walk from where we left car.
Top spot. Great track for mountain bike riding according to my son, a local who guessed where it was from the clues. Turned out he was right. Took Metro Fire Service Badge from South Australia and will make sure it travels further.
Left orange marble & Rotary card.

Lovely place, great walk. Didn't know this place existed and I'm a local - that's the great thing about geocaching.
We were starting to wonder where this cut rock was - the Mio (which had been very accurate at other locations) was a little out, but the iPhone was spot on the money and lead us to the precise location.
Signed book, left yellow Indian from Bradys (GCT2V1), and took a little metal star.

Very nice walk in along the fire track to this cache, the location was obvious once we got to the listed co-ords. So many beautiful rocks in this location. Located with geo brother.
