Found as left by last finder. Log is trashed from weather so couldn't sign. Container still wet inside. Took a snap & headed on our way.
With recent forced visits to the nearby medical establishment I have ventured to the darkside in search of caches. After a false start i finally made my way to this cache. Unfortunately the cache was full of water and the log book completely soaked.
I have tipped the water out and left the look book outside the container (in a hopefully dry environment so it can dry out. Cache needs some TLC.

An impromptu caching trip this morning had me driving down this dead end street to where I thought I'd find a place to park for a quick stroll. But instead I pulled up short as there were three blokes down here flying model aeroplanes in the early hours. Not your usual bulsa wood type but polystyrene. Never heard of the concept but they sure look the part and fly amazingly.
Anyway after a chat with a cpuple of them I headed off across the dirt track. I'm sure they're still wondering what the heck I was doing down there at this hour of the day. And because this was a last minute caching trip I didn't get the memo on directly accessing GZ. Oh there's a giant rock wall in the way. Mmm, well it looked to far to walk around so down I went, hoping nothing would jump out and bite me.
Safe on the ground I soon came up with the prize but this old thing is in dire straits. The container was half doing its job I suppose in keeping water in but there was no way I was going to be able to sign it. I took a photo, emptied it out and replaced as found.
Thanx for the cache GraKez

Found it once we got past the drop..needs a bit of attention thou. The whole inside of container is soaking wet and the log book. You cant write your name. It will need replacing
TFTC... 20/2/17. Out with Lisylou and bennyboppers to find the cornerstone of caching.
It was nice that the weather changed to a cool breeze when I was walking through the bush to get to GZ where I was a bit concerned about a couple of huge spiders blocking my path whilst webbing their magic. Eventually I avoided them and make a quick swoop on the prize and was out of there, thanks GraKez and TFTC
Working today, but work involved taking a client to collect cans so incorporated this cache into the walk and the client collected several aluminium cans

Found it though it was very wet inside. Might need a new ziplock bag for the writing pad
after a long hot walk along the path we made our way to GZ found the cache and signed the log which is a bit wet. returned cache to home then enjoyed the walk back to our car.
After ned_q24 moved some nearby rocks and sticks insisting that the cache was not there I decided to have a look because after 10 minutes we hadn't found anything. Looked at the spot he was just at and saw the cache just sitting there uncovered from where he had moved things around. Grabbed the cache out and signed the log. Logbook was soggy but still managed to sign it. Picked up a TB bear and will continue it on its journey soon. TFTC
Don't know the area, went through scrub and found a cliff, not sure if cache was at the top or bottom. A few workman muggles having a stroll so will have to come back and use the path next time.
Decided to drop by on the way to work as it's quite close. It's a beautiful spot here. Took the fake poo for my son and left a pony. Log is completely soaked and ziplock bag has a tear but pen still works and was kind of able to sign. Put a few more rocks on cache as it wasn't covered up very well
A lovely little pleasant walk and the surroundings were bliss. The cache was an easy find however the log bog was soaked. I picked up the funky Moove Me bug and will take it to another wonderful place for someone else to discover!
Not an ideal cache to get in thongs, but fun nonetheless! TFTC. Dropped off a Moove Me bug.
Our GPS had us out by about 5m but once we reset our search thinking about the cache title- there it was! Unfortunately it had suffered in the recent wet weather and was full of water. Tried to dry it as much as possible but couldn't sign the log. Took the TB , which is a little rusty now, and will send it on it's way
Nice Big park and nice walk to there and geodog loved the long walk. Nice spot to hide cache. Dropped TB.
Nice walking track! Found my first Travel Bug!! Will find somewhere nice to leave it on the weekend
It was indeed a very muddy trek from the car parking point to GZ. Took the TB and will move him on. Found at 11.55 am on 13th Jan 2015. TFTC.
We made good use of the pathway today and enjoyed a long walk with the dog. A walk is always more enjoyable when you find a cache or two along the way.
Cache and contents in good condition.
Thanks for the cache GraKez.

Another nice walk and a good hiding place, everything in good condition TFTC.
This cache was just what I needed after a busy day at work. The walk along the path was lovely in the afternoon. I was the only person down here, it was windy, and there were lots of great noises happening in the trees as I strolled along. I eventually made it to the GZ, and located the cache without any problems. The container is in good order and the contents nice and dry after the recent big wet weather event. Thanks for bringing me down here. TFTC. SL TNLN
Co ords were a little off. If only I paid attention to the description etc. Tftc
Last one for the afternoon solo, it was time after this one to get to a little get together with another to make a find on a nearby Multi. Well had to make it quick, as I was almost running late.
So the first street I drove in had a couple of guys hanging out at the end, and more rubber on the road then on most people's tyre's when they are new I think. So I saw another approach and headed for that. Better as it was deserted, parked the car and headed off at a reasonable pace. Could see the reason why this approach was better then direct approach, climbing down could have been interesting.
Anyway soon enough got to GZ and well it was a kind of interesting spot. I figure where the cache should be, and it was just a matter of examing the many possible places. Thankfully it was a decent size and was quite quick to find.

I tried this once before on way home from golf, not going down that drop, worked out the nice path in and today on way home once again from golf had a lovely walk and grabbed the cache. TFTC
Had a call to make down this way, so managed a couple of caches. This one all good.
In Brisbane for a couple of days work (up from Melbourne) and some after hours caching.
Had a look at this from the top yesterday and decided to come back today to walk around. Quick find in a nice quiet location.

I was out on a caching day with my Miss 5. We did approach this one from the wrong angle, and Miss 5 decided we should change our plan of attack. The walk from the parking spot was much longer than we had expected, but an easy pathed and safer choice. Once at GZ, it wasnt long before we had the cache in hand.

A 5m rock wall hidden away on the outskirts of an industrial area. I love it! Thanks for bringing me here.
Once we found a way to get down the wall, we found our way to GZ, and had the cache in hand in no time at all. TFTC.

We came in from the wrong direction - looking down from 5 metres up. Shall I climb down? If I do and break something I'm going to have 3 kids at the top looking down and panicking...Maybe not a good idea.
Thankfully a bit of scouting around found a way down that was nice and easy.
All good, nice and dry inside. This cache would survive any bushfire.

Checking in the United Kingdom Flag Micro Geocoin to my local cahe before sending it off to the USA.
Out and about with Aussie Liahona on our first hunt together
It pays to read the Description before you start!!!!! You'd think I'd've learnt this by now We parked at the wrong spot, then struggled to find a way through, then ended up at the drop and figured climbing down in the rain wasn't too smart, so in the end Aussie Liahona roamed around looking for the path she had used when she made the find Ahh, that's easier [^] A little wander then carefully stepping through the udergrowth and I found the cache. TFTC, GraKez.

TFTC This has been popping up as second nearest for a long time and today was the opportunity to wipe it from my map. It was also the day for Miss Chick to have her first crack at the scooter I bought her. I forged ahead with Baby Chick in my backpack, while Rooster and Miss Chick persisted with ill fitting safety gear, and typical first time jitters. I kept wondering what the significance to the name was. This is a surprising patch of forest, with beautiful trees and emerald green grass poking up. Lovely peaceful feel to it. As I neared to GZ, the inspiration to the title became clear. Wow, my neck stretched up and I felt dwarfed. I signed log, did a few little swaps and carefully stepped out through the growth. I walked back with Baby Chick now tottering beside, darting off into the bush every 10 metres or so, like an after a mouse. When I crossed paths with the Rooster and Miss Chick, she was well and truly getting the hang of this scooter business. Thanks GraKez for introducing me to a lovely paved path that I get the feeling is going to be getting a bit more foot and scooter traffic from us in the future.

Found with goldielover. We were amazed how recent the fires were that went through this area. You could still smell the smoke. We made our way to GZ and I spotted the container. The log is safe and dry. Signed our names then headed out. TFTC.
Found with stairman1 and geodog. This was a pleasant walk along a burnt out area of the path. The fire must have been just recent as the smell of the smoke was still present. We headed down the path and then along the geotrail. Arrived at GZ and stairman1 quickly located the container. The log is nice and dry. Signed our names then headed back to the car. TFTC
Recent fire in area has not affected cache.
Definitely follow path until you are very close.

Definitely some major hooning going on here. I parked in the lot near the dirt path and followed it to the GZ. Started looking in the rocks and found where a big python had shed its skin. Not liking snakes much I made geowife grab the cache.
I approached this one from the top not realizing what was around the corner.
I was soon climbing straight down the wall and soon found the cache. Then it was back up the walk to the car.
Thanks for the cache

Tackled this one in a whim after work. Approached from higher ground and realised it wasn't going to work, then read previous logs and descended via rocky slope near power lines. After an unnecessarily long hike through scrub, cache was found. Looks like the higher ground is a real party place! Am I invited??
We found it, Was a decent walk and good exercize,Beautiful path in the forest near a flowing creek.. Had no problem with snakes or spiders .I only say that one should wear long pants to avoid getting itchy legs.
RubyKitten found it first and I took nothing but left a large decorative button

A nice easy find this one, found with my brother brenthegorgeous. Took army man left $1 scout coin, SL. I believe the terrain is a 2, the grass is rather high and very itchy. TFTC rubykitten13
It was very wet under foot today and the GPS was not helping as it would not settle on gz today. ManicWombat was the one who found the prize. TFTC.
Very wet underfoot today, abd the GPSr just would not settle so GZ was bigger than usual. Took a while but eventually found the right spot. Rock on!
Along with some of Allofus7 we head along the path having taken the good advice about hugh drops. Very impressive wall. one of Allofus7 comes up with the prize and we scan the contents TSLS Left Trackable SL TFTC

Every good cache should have a burnt out car! And what a wall! Thanks for bringing me here. Cache and contents in good shape. XN, SL, #720.
Nice retaining wall and a nice walk but to my dismay i went there to collect our pink t rabbit T Bug to relocate further up north but was not there as it was said to be,are well another stolen 3 outa 6 aint bad TFTC CHEERS
It's a little dangerous to have a cache in a place where various spiders and snakes and other harmful creatures hide. Not to mention the stuff falling off the wall! !!
Do not climb down the wall, follow the power line to walk down a small easy rock slope then along the bike path and into the hide. CITO
Drove up to about 60m from GZ and Mr Bushies2 went there with our dog while I waited in the car...a bit hairy for him to climb down and he kept telling our dog to wait on the edge which he obeyed faithfully Mr Bushies2 found it quickly then climbed up and our dog got excited to see him back! Took a TB.Thanks GraKez.
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, I had to find 1 cach, happy birthday to me. Left a TB and took a magnet. Nice clean and dry cache.
Had to come out to do an inspection for work near here, and dropped in to find this cache. Now that is a retaining wall! Very impressive. After sloshing through some mud I had the cache soon in hand. TFTC! Took TB
What a excellent hide. Why is the wall there?? Nice walk along a path but the grass as we moved closer was getting higher and higher. Sometimes I wish we were a bit taller. Lots of new growth and puddles due with all the rain. Took nothing left magnetic clip.
In the area for work again this week (up from Sydney) and finally got close enough to do this one. Had approached from the wrong side of the river before but knew it was the wrong way. This time I found myself at the official parking spot and then just followed the path. About halfway along there was the weird sight of a cane toad just sitting there on the path - ants crawling on him - he was dead! But sitting in a live toad position!
Walked on and soon found GZ - no wonder you'd get a shock with a direct approach! The great wall indeed. So many potential hiding spots, many of them very evil but using my brain I found the right spot and the cache. Swapped TBs - the new one is off to Sydney and this one just came from Sydney. Cache all in good nick.
Thanks!

Our first cache in along time, and only one for the day. Had told clockdoc52 and his daughter that i would drop their new TB off into this cache sometime ago and finally got the chance today!!
Has a great stroll along the path to GZ and quickly located the cache nice and safe and dry. Signed the log popped in the TB and geo-daughter took the sheep before trekking back to the car.
