Needs new cache container. Will fix it ASAP
 
12-Aug-13
Spent about 20 mins looking around. No Dice. Based on the last few logs Needs to be fixed or archived.
 
11-Aug-13
Looked around everywhere & couldn't seem to find it - also noticed that all the logs from 2013 are DNF's. CO may need to check it out.
 
11-Aug-13
CO may need to check if its still there given that all this years logs are DNF's. Will keep watching this one in the interim.
 
11-Aug-13
This one has been muggled more than once in the past, and it looks like it's gone again.

I'm not sure if the CO is still involved in geocaching.

Ought to be fixed up or else archived.
 
15-Jun-13
No find here. After a lengthy look, nothing was found. Will return and try again.
 
22-Mar-13
Been here a few times this year and don't think it's here!
 
04-Jan-13
Didn't find it, with no-one around I had plenty of time to go over everything at the structure but I couldn't find it. This hasn't been visited for 5 months now - or maybe the dnf's haven't been logged. Hope it's still there.

Took a bit of poking around, but found it eventually. Didn't have any gloves with me, so used my pen to encourage it from its hidey hole. TNLNSL TFTC.

Still got it though.

Took me longer than it should have on a very cold and rainy day. TFTC
 
28-May-12
Found with Browngang on a footy and caching trip to Sydney. Look given the choice between birdwatching or the mountains I'm choosing the pub everytime. This was a nice easy find for us, nice location. Thanks for the cache timlioli.
 
28-May-12
Nice spot, though not worth sitting here all morning bird watching. Is there supposed to be a swamp here or something? TFTC
Cheers from Browngang
 
28-Apr-12
Found it after a quick search. Nice spot for an early morning walk or bike ride. TFTC!
 
24-Apr-12
Woo Hoo was about to walk away and DNF this 1 when I said to geokids let me try 1 last spot. Bingo!
With the fading light I got out the HID and spotted something tucked away in the most likely of spots. I had looked here already but it was tucked away rather well and I must have missed it, with the warning of huntsmens in the hide I put on the gloves had a feel around and soon had CIH!
SL and returned.
TFTC Smile

Awesome little watchtower. Thanx for bringing me here. Found with happy paintball. SL TFTC

What a great spot for a cache! beware of huge huntsman living at GZ
 
09-Mar-12
Surprisingly a good view to the mountains. TFTC
 
27-Feb-12
It's there, but another for the HID ('canned sun') torch. Took a while here as well with many places to hide. That hint is the savior for this Smile TFTC
 
20-Feb-12
A nice place for a cache, especially now after all the recent rain.

13-Feb-12
Three separate attempts over the past 2 weeks and I've failed to find this cache. Either the difficulty is off or the cache may have been muggled.
 
29-Jan-12
hint made it easier to find
 
23-Jan-12
So many places a little cache could hide but thought "where is the best place?" And that's where it was. TFTC
 
22-Jan-12
What a fantastic location for a cache. I'm constantly being impressed by the land set aside in this urban sprawl for park lands and nature reserves, not to mention the effort and money that has been put into developing these areas.
Nice hide, thanks for bringing me here.
 
17-Jan-12
Nice easy find great walk in with Santacruzers
 
17-Jan-12
nice area kids loved it
 
29-Dec-11
There was quite a few muggles out and about in the area today but thankfully obody was in the watch tower.

A nice simple find in the first place I looked.

Thanks timlioli for the cache.
 
21-Dec-11
Realised I could just another one in for the day but was not prepared. Just had nearby co-ords but no hints etc. Got to GZ and swa lots of hinding spots and guessed the cache type. Let the GPSr settle to see if I could narrow the search and also though where would I put the hide. Looked and then touched something on the first area I searched in. Talk about being lucky. SL and returned as found.

Found it after 5 minutes!

Nice area.

This was, the second cache of 51 finds for the day, On day two of the MCBC raid on Sydney. My thanks to timlioli for the cache.
 
13-Nov-11
Grabbed this one early in the morning but there weren't too many birds around. Found a cache though!

Found while spending an enjoyable weekend finding caches around Sydney with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, lochb, La Kedi, Tassiegirl13, bedmaker and Rebel Acts.

Out and about with fellow interstaters, we headed in for an early morning hunt on this one. No sign of muggles, very few feathered friends and not much else to look at really. So, we figured we'd search for a cache... Well, it made sense while we were here... Wink

We scanned the area and probably missed the cache on first pass. A couple of minutes later, Kaisho53 pulled the container from its lair. Aha, there it is... Big Grin

Cheers timlioli.
 
13-Nov-11
Found in the company of the MCBC - 2 of us from Vic, and 6 from Qld - on a weekend raid of Sydney caches.

Kaisho found the cache quickly. TFTC
 
13-Nov-11
Nary a bird to be seen, but a few cottontails bouncing around gave us something to look at while we signed the log. Found the hint helpful, as was the absence of all muggles until we were leaving the area. TFTC. =^.^=

Found the cache half hanging in there, so it was an easy find.
Thanks for the cache.

Sneaky little spot, very clever hiding.
 
19-Aug-11
Nice easy find, needed a quick fix to keep my streak going TFTC
 
11-Aug-11
Reperio at 2200. Parked nearby, but with the construction fences, had to walk around a bit further to get to GZ. A very open spot, but no one here at this time of night. After a solid 5-10 mins of searching, the cache was located nicely tucked away out of sight.

Gratias.
 
06-Aug-11
For some reason after Go No Further #3 this was next on our list but there were plenty of others in between so I must have stuffed something up.
Anyway it was nice to get away from the neglect of much of the Riverstone area and see a nice looking new suburb. Saw plenty of little thornbills in the bushes and made the find quicker than I expected here.
Thanks!
 
05-Aug-11
Smile Nice. Saw more dogs than birds though.
 
05-Aug-11
Found....after a bit of looking. Great cache and a great day for a walk!
 
24-Jul-11
nice quiet spot for a sit down. tftc
 
09-Jul-11
number 3 of 6 finds for the day (plus a couple of GCA locationless finds), and also the 3rd find in about 12 minutes - nice to have some close together like this.
I had a choice of levels, and was fortunate to choose the right level first, giving me a find within a minute of arriving.
Thanks, a nice viewing spot, which was busy with muggles looking for a peaceful spot together when I went past 20minutes later (after not finding the next cache I went for).
Find #827, on a Sunny winters day, thanks.

Thanks all for visitng.
 
16-Apr-11
Went looking for this one and like previous finders have said it seems have gone missing in action.
 
26-Mar-11
I went there before reading the logs!!! when I looked around, I found a black piece on the ground, reading couple of logs I realised that I wasted my time Big Grin
TFTC
 
26-Feb-11
I guess i'll log it as found.. It is just on the ground smashed up now. Wish id had something on me to replace it with for you. thanks though. Smile
 
19-Feb-11
Cache has been smashed, parts of it under stairs , no log left, no lid left:(. Observation platform is a great idea for cache though! Pity about mindless grubs.
 
18-Feb-11
Like the other log said, the cache has been smashed to pieces and all that's left is the bottom of it
Sorry, you have had your cache muggled.
 
12-Feb-11
FIRST FIND EVER
Although online logging has been very late haha
Went looking for it at night, not the logical choice at all, but INCREDIBLE feeling when we found it =)

Such an easy find that took so long, climbed all over before finding it where I started. Tftc and taking me to this spot
 
22-Jan-11
Nice location.
 
18-Jan-11
Similar hide to one I'd just come from and again just out of reach from below. Luckily charligirl had a slight advantage over me for a quick retrieval. Log book soaked so signed the best I could.
 
18-Jan-11
First find! TFTC!! Pretty wet and couldn't unroll it, nice to mark off that first one though!
 
14-Jan-11
Nice micro cache, close to home, and our JRT TimTam enjoyed the walk too! Cache has got a bit wet however. Left a note inside as couldn't unravel the soggy logbook. TNLN
 
08-Jan-11
I'm new to Geocaching this was my first find. Left a note in the cache and replaced to it's original location. Nice spot all very new will only get better with time.
 
05-Jan-11
Nice area and we stayed there for our lunch, Found it - need TLC and the log is wet see pic. Signed the log. Thanks timlioli.

Team Bullfrog found this one.

Nice little spot, lots of McMansions going up around here, never knew there was so much development in the area. Oh well, it's progress.

Signed the log.

Thanks,
 
Found it tonight. Cache was poking out a fair bit so put it further in. Nice hide TFTC
 
14-Nov-10
Nice easy find, 3 of 4 for the day, didn't see a magnet.
TFTC Smile
 
14-Nov-10
Went to replace the container today with one whose magnet is still attached but found a group of teenagers inhabiting GZ. Next time.
 
13-Nov-10
Found it. Magnet has come off.

TFTC
 
13-Nov-10
Easy Find, TFTC
very warm day
The magnet is loose and no longer attached to cache
 
31-Oct-10
Magnet has come off cache, and needs re attaching.
 
31-Oct-10
Another close one on the way home. Got to GZ after a short walk and with hint knew geokids probably wouldn't be able to find this one. So I searched and at first found the magnet...huh...then near it, found the cache minus magnet. Tried to re attach, but needs attention. SL. Placed back where cache was found, even though magnet was in a different spot when I found it (I blame the magnet on Steveishere, being the last one to sign...hehehe) Great place though. TFTC.
 
22-Oct-10
Watched the storm come over and blow away.
Found it and thought what a nice place to live.
Thanks.

Geocaching this evening has been my way to fill in a few hours. Not that I really mind, it's as good an excuse as any. It just rained and the new roads and the red lit bridge look very sparkly. TFTC, and for taking me somewhere I otherwise wouldn't have come! Found after about two minutes of using my phone as a torch.
