One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

An hour scrambling around the rocks. Think I covered all hiding spots. No find

Long time to since a legitimate find. Previous needs maintenance doesn't appear to have been acted upon.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

We found a log out in the open, which was pretty much illegible, but no ammo tin to be seen. I have a pretty good idea where the cache was supposed to be, and even spotted some likely cammo in situ, but the cache may have been muggled. Could the Cache Owner please check?

18/4/17 Found with morry9. An afternoon out caching saw us collect the 'Letterbox in the Valley' Letterbox / Hybrid, 'The Borg #1- Locutus', 'The Butterfly Effect? #1', the 'Blue Gum Letterbox' Letterbox / Hybrid, 'The Borg #2 - Hugh (3rd of 5)', '"THE BIG UNIT"', 'Holland - Not Netherlands' and 'Reserved'. Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners.

Found with JordsAU. Went for a drive from the North Shore. Found a bit of paper but no ammo tin. Cache might need replacing. Decided to go caching around this area! Cheers for the cache!

nenosinmud crawled way into the cave, got filthy but came out empty handed

oh been look everywhere not lucky

With whitepaws9, laker63
been searched everywhere but cant find any so DNF for us today.

Found with TOMBI! and grandson. Took the more difficult way to get there, but found an easier way out. TFTC

Found with BillHill531 and my son on a caching day trip to Sydney. Originally we were going to go after rare placed months, but it changed to unique D/T combinations. Of the six caches found today three were new combinations for me, leaving just three left to complete my grid. A bit of something for everyone today.
The car GPSr said to come in from the east, but that was through someones property. So we headed back and followed a fenceline then made our own way. We sure earned our high terrain rating. Cache was found easily, after some sliding. FOund a much easier way out, back to the car.
Thanks for the walk, rocks and cache!

Second time looking finally found WITH ALL7. Loved the bush. TFTC

beautiful Big rocks and easy found with ozuk... Thank

Found it with ozuk and ALL7.. TFTH

Not exactly sure what brought me to this area but once I saw the T5 cache I was intrigued. Parked outside the gates of the sports ground and made my way along the trail towards GZ. Scrambled down a few rocks and had 3m to the cache. Found an easy way to get slightly lower and was surprised to see the container. I won't repeat what has already been said in other logs.
TFTC

ozuk went further down the cliff and I stood on the top of the cliff because I had my hips replacement last January so I couldn't help ozuk by finding the cache which it was shame for me oh never mind and maybe one day I will come back here.

Couldn't find it. Well come back another time.

Had a couple of hours spare this morning, Quick find TFTC

Thanx for taking me to this cool place. A fav from me.

Easy to find track but hard to climbed down the steep!! Gladly I found it, whew... Worth the effort to find it, if I did not I would have screamed and no one will hear it!! Thanks for the organised the cache

After a very easy walk in the track drops away quite sharply to reveal a beautiful location - watch the geokids next to the edge TFTC

Also dropped off highland titles tag, for some reason didn't get logged that I picked it up.

I would have to agree with webguy on this one. No ropes or special equipment required so wouldn't class this as a T5, nonetheless, it was a great cache and a good short stroll through some bush today in the rain.
Thanks for the cache. Dropped of trackable.

Easiest T5 I have ever seen or done. Never seen one of these types of containers before, does not appear to close / lock down.

Couldn't find it

on our tour we found this Cache in this nice park.
Thanks Team sissifalke

Found it, took some time to work my way over to it but got there in the end


updated as the system logged me on the day before I was there

Yep shouldn't be that hard. Had to paf cause I missed the mark. So close. Tftc SL TNLN T5 done and a favourite point from us

Beautiful bushland in the heart of the hills District. Good walk in. Forgot to bring a pen but one was provided. TFTC and pen!

Decided to have a try at this T5 - and walked off towards GZ, climbed down, got to the edge and figured out a relatively "safe" approach. I could see what I was after but needed to manoevre a bit, so I put my backpack down in a safe spot and started to work in....................

BUT!............................. my backpack wasn't as safe as I thought and from behind me I heard it slip & go rolling down the cliff.................. *^#%!!

I couldn't see it - I was pointing in the wrong direction but all I could think was "Please don't have gone over the edge!" - it had my phone, gps & car keys in it! I was committed to where I was heading - so moved onward - signed the log.

The lid appears to be missing a catch so doesn't quite close fully, but I did as best I could. The noted TB seems to be missing too.

Eased my way back out dreading what I was going to see but thankfully my bag had only rolled a few more levels before getting stuck, so I was able to get it back............... BIG sign of relief!!

Made my way back up to the top & picked up Holland -not Netherlands on the way back to the car.

Out today with Team Merlin to find the Reserved cache that we have been watching for a short time. Parking as close as we could to the stated coordinates it was time to go find the GZ.
As we approach the GZ a path became evident which made its way down over the hill where a likely hide appeared. This is where the cache was located. The log was signed and returned as found. Both the cache and container was in good condition.
Great view.
TFTC

Our mission today was to travel from the Northern Beaches to Glenhaven, to reach this cache and therefore qualify for the T5 souvenir. So after dropping off geoson#2 at school in Forestville, it was off through St Ives, Turrumurra, Pennant Hills, Cherrybrook and finally Glenhaven. About an hour or so after leaving home we had finally arrived at Holland Reserve.

Parked the trusty geomobile at the reserve entrance and headed off across the playing fields and through the bush until reaching the cliff line. GPSr was indicating GZ to be at the top of the cliff, but after a quick look around it became obvious that it was more likely somewhere "over the edge !".

Found a good descent path down to the lower level and then spied a likely hiding spot. Scrambled upward, then squeezed through a rock opening to be greeted by the wonderful sight of a large metal ammo box. Yes we had found what we had come for. Signed the nice big logbook, collected the "Hip to be Square" TB and left a 1962 Australian Penny to add to the stash.

Thanks perry.stephenson for the nice little adventure, the T5 Souvenir and for the cache itself. Our 1st find of the day.

Find #628

This entry was edited by vk2df on Monday, 03 August 2015 at 21:53:56 UTC.

We parked the car at the entrance to the sports field as the gates were closed at the time of our visit. Setting up the GPS before we left the car, the direction had us heading into the bush from start, but we walked up to the field and headed for the back. A small path presented itself which we followed into the bush which wasn't as thick as we had expected due to a fire / back burning which had taken place in the last 6-12 months.

Negotiating ourselves along the path we ended up at the top of a ridge line but we still had 30 metres to the cache and from where we stood it looked like GZ was going to be around the next steeper cliff that we could see. Working ourselves down the hill we were soon standing on top of cliff which dropped down 6-7 metres. A likely path to GZ presented itself and we worked our way down and around, finding a small cave which the cache container located within.

We both signed the log (found with JJCC) and returned the cache container to enjoy its majestic view over the small valley below. TFTC perry.stephenson

Nice morning out with SSSonya, with mission to "get that 5". Previous logs not spoilers, but indeed helpful to show the right way down to GZ (even if I enthusiastically went a bit further down than necessary ). SSSonya looked in the right place, so we soon had CIH. Great location. Would never have come to this part of Glenhaven if it wasn't for geocaching. Excellent hide, thanks PS & O117 for going to so much effort ...... really appreciated. TFTC

Found with dad for my T5 souvenir (and his >10fav points one). Enjoyed the walk and the rock hopping around GZ Placed a trackable I'd been holding for a little bit. As other people have mentioned the lid isn't shutting properly at the moment, but the cache is in a dry spot, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue (contents are currently nice and dry). TFTC!

Nice way to get the T5 souvenir! Took a decent hike through the scrub to get there and a scramble at the end. Took Snowball Fight Geocoin. TFTC!

#396 – Geocaching Live for Windows Phone

This was the fifth of five finds for today. After finding ‘Holland – Not Netherlands’ Rheneas again asked about finding more caches and although this was not a park and grab, this cache wasn’t too far away. I didn’t realise the terrain rating until I brought the cache listing up on my phone app and I was even more intrigued. Rheneas, who had found it previously, advised me to check the logs and I realised it wasn’t really a true T5 but it would fill another D/T combination and a missing date on my ‘dates hidden’ calendar so I was keen to find it. We made our way down the path and then encountered the tougher terrain. I immediately regretted leaving my backpack with my Garmin in the car and I was a little worried about dropping my phone. We made the scramble across the rocks with Rheneas saying he could see it from a higher level. I was slower in my progress but using my slower speed to allow the compass to settle. With Rheneas checking a lower level and I on the higher level, I was able to get to within 2m of GZ although this did take some backtracking over previously explored terrain. Again Rheneas spotted the cache but realised that it had been pushed much further into the hiding spot than when he found it so it wasn’t immediately seen from above. Again, I had to wait until Rheneas appeared with CIH and realised it was ammo box #4 for the day. I was starting to tire so Rheneas brought the cache up to me to let me sign the log. We also realised why the box doesn’t shut properly anymore. TFTC.

First T5 cache! First we managed to find a small snake near GZ but after a little bit more inspecting, we soon had the cache in hand. Perfect weather for a great cache like this!

Woohoo a T5 under my belt - hard to believe these nana knees can do that but alas they did - with the final metre covered by geoboyfriend, he's such a good bloke. For those cricket connoisseurs out there, the pitch in the middle of the oval is small, suggesting it's a junior pitch, and probably related to the junior size cricket ball in the cache. Another souvenir down!!

A quick find in a very nice spot. We thought the terrain rating was a bit on the high side given that no special equipment is needed, but it was the 5* that attracted us, and also the souvenir is now done & dusted Great place for a cache. Took TB, left 2xTB's. TFTC
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Sorry, forgot to drop off the TB's digitally.

TFTC more later.

Yayyiii a T5 with Jendid and her doggie!
We brought pliers and an wire hanger to make the ammo can work but the cache has been neglected and each moving bit is now rusted
To get to cache, we followed KidRonSatan's instructions on his logbook and got to 3m of the cache. Jendid plunged first. Followed by me.

In order to claim the D5/T5 souvenir I did a search and this cache turned up close to home. I've previously avoided T5's thinking I would need special equipment. I'll take the find for the T5 but it is really only a 3 at most. I can't believe the local kids haven't muggled this one long ago. What's wrong with kids these days, they just don't go exploring like I did as a kid.
As previously mentioned the lid won't close properly.
TFTC

Hunting a T5 for the souvenir this month, this was one of three closest to home. I long suspected it was not a true T5. Confirmed. A walk in the park, literally. What a lovely park too, grounds were closed no doubt all games cancelled as was mine. Had the place to myself as I strolled across the field. Found the track that led all the way to within about 20m of GZ. Nothing too hard about navigating through the cliff line. The fires had cleared it out and the way I went was super easy. Got to within 2 m of GZ and found the perfect spot to descend. That's when I saw the cache with its broken lid. A relatively easy scramble to GZ and I had the cache in my hand. Top spot for a cache. I completed the caching business and left a TB. I tried to fix the lid and realigned it but unfortunately the metal wire that seals it has snapped. If a kind cacher was willing to replace this, if they were planning on doing this in the future, it may save the cache from deteriorating. I believe the owners are no longer active. I climbed back up and strolled on back to my car. The easiest T5 ever. In my opinion, I'd only rate this a T3.

17/07/15. 9:45 AM. Cache #2693. Streak day #390.
A few of us had earmarked "Feeling Wrecked" and "Still Feeling Wrecked" at Homebush Bay as our target caches to earn the terrain 5 road-trip souvenir, but logistical issues and the threat of rain pushed back our trip. However, I still had this easy get 'in reserve' and wondered if it was worth heading out for a cheeky grab this morning. The weather suggested not.

At around 0830 I thought I'd see what the GWS Geocachers on Facebook would think of an assault on Reserved in the rain and one quick replier said it should be OK provided I had the right footwear. That was enough encouragement. I finished breakfast, donned the good boots and wet weather gear and by 0915 I was parking near the oval. I'm sure the blokes in The Hills council truck - the only other people here - were wondering what sort of crazy would be coming here in the wet and walking off into the bush.

I found my way through the bush easily enough and the rock hops closer to GZ were OK with caution. Once I made it to the top, I made the right guess of which way to go down and picked my way down carefully, seeing the cache almost straight away. I got down next to it, opened it and before I'd even signed the paper log, I did a temporary online log to get what might have been the easiest T5 souvenir.

"YOU WERE GEOCACHER #191 of 247 TO EARN THIS SOUVENIR. NICE JOB!"

Not quite as good as the #101 I scored on June 19 for the 10+ Favourites road trip souvenir, but not bad. Odd to see that only 56 worldwide have earned the souvenir in the 5 hours that have passed. Is the weather bad all over the country? And NZ?

I returned to the car and then checked to see what other caches were nearby. I hadn't found "Holland (Not Netherlands)" yet and that was only 36m from my car. Back out again!

TFTC.

Wow 7am stones wet bit scary after rain dropped my phone down further and saw it after retreiving my ph yay got it

Thanks for the find I think is a 4 for difficult

I'm not sure if we went down far enough by the sound of the other logs. We had 3 kids in tow so well come back another time.

Rode my bike down the track to the last 50 metres and walked the rest of the way. I went past the cache then checked my GPS and doubled back. If you go the right way this definitely only meets T3 criteria. Don't be put off by the T5 rating unless you are searching at night in which case take care.

TFTC.

King of the caches again

Beat Daisy to it bit scary in the dark but TFTC !

A nice easy find today. I was looking forward to a t5, even though previous loss said otherwise. So i brought some rope along just so I could make use of it to qualify for the terrain rating. So such luck there.
Cache spotted and retrieved. Note that a bit of the locking clamp has broken.
Thanks for the cache.

out caching with goingplaces2 yesterday and they spoke of this T5 which we decided to tackle today. My first 5 rating on the D/T grid. After walking across the oval then a bush trail for a little while we could see that the last little bit of getting to GZ would be tricky.

We took in the view whilst inspecting GZ with a little bit of coordination one went down to the cache level, who was then able to pass it back up to another part way down who in turn passed it back to the top.

This allowed signing duties to be performed by all, I took the TB, before it was passed back down to be re hidden. tftc a favourite for the challenge

Decided to attack this one with lucky1955 as the terrain rating was a bit daunting. After a pleasant walk down to near GZ it was then time to asses the situation to try for the best approach. Fortunately the first choice was the best one and the most agile one went down and handed the cache back up for the others to sign the log and check out the contents. After signing, the cache was then handed back down to be replaced in its position. Worth a fav point for being able to achieve a 5 rating successfully. TFTC.

Great find, no disposable camera:(

Nice challenge to get to. Nice big ammo can. TFTC

After a quick find at 'Holland - Not Netherlands' on the other side of the park, I decided to head down to this one. After reading the previous logs, decided that it wasn't a T5 and headed down the hill for a look. It was fairly easy going due to the recent fire through here - easy to see the track and the path ahead. I reached GZ (great co-ords) and after a quick search, headed down. I had descended to just the right level and had spotted the cache out of the corner of my eye when I accidentally knocked my sunglasses off my head. They landed a few more metres below. So, I proceeded down past the cache, grabbed my sunnies, and then back up. Found the cache container lid open about an inch, seemingly because the opposite hinge was stiff. SL, TNLN, then loosened the hinge with a few wiggles, and was then able to close the cache properly. If I'm in the area again soon then I will return with some WD40, as the CO doesn't appear to be active anymore. Great location. The actual GZ reminded me a bit of Sir Mitchell's Rest (GC14GKY). Anyhow, I enjoyed the climb back up to the top where my patient wife was waiting TFTC!

Left a prize

Awesome cache

TFTC it survived the back burning.. But a little dangerous to get to..

Found it

Two for two at holland reserve. Loved this one. Haven't been able to do some scrambling over rocks in ages. GPS took me to ground zero but nothing there till I realised I was right on top of it. TFTC TNLN

Co-rods all over the place. Finally found cache. Don't know if this was original spot but think this dangerous place to hide cache

What a beautiful place to take us. My GPS app may have been a bit off so we had to widen our search a bit. Glad I had some sturdy shoes with good grip to retrieve this cache.

Awesome spot. TFTC.

Walked straight over from the other one close to the car park and like that one, this was a quick pick up. This was one of six collected smileys from the area. Thanks PS&O, awesome hide

No. 338

Parked up near the gate, and made the relatively easy walk down to GZ. Looked around the top for a little while, but then remembered the high terrain (a bit high in my opinion), and started making my way down a little, and there it was! Take a favourite for the wonderful views and cache location itself. TFTC!

Found this one this afternoon whilst out on the calendar gap and DT rating cache hunt which brought me back out to the Hills District.

As CJ is away, I did this one solo on the way back. The month has ticked over to winter and so has the weather. It is much cooler out here now, but bushwalking and geocaching are great ways to warm up.

I parked the car at the reserve at the end of Edgecliff Road and walk across the oval and down the track. Once in the GZ, I knew exactly where to look after doing several similar clever ammo tin hides up in the Blue Mountains. The cache is all good and the log is dry. I signed and replaced it exactly as I found it. There was some real junk in there. I'm always puzzled why some cachers place useless flotsam in caches. To get rid of loose stuff in pockets? Hmmm

It was cool to find another T5 cache. Thanks perry.stephenson for your cache. SL TNLN TFTC

Having dropped off the geofamily at a nearby kids birthday party in the early afternoon, I had a couple of hours to myself, so I decided to find a few geocaches in the neighbourhood. I'd had my eye on this cache for a long time, having found the nearby Holland - Not Netherlands back on 2013-10-19 but being put off by the difficulty rating (and having the geofamily with me at the time).

This time round, I'd had a chance to study the previous log entries and gallery to determine if there were any great safety concerns, and reviews on the difficulty seemed to be mixed. It was late in the day and the sun was low on the horizon, so I was keen to ensure there were no mishaps. As directed in the description, I followed the bush track at the far end of the field down towards GZ, watching out for cliffs and other steep rock formations. I deviated a little to the west, given the reports of previous finders of easier access to the cache, and headed down between some rocks. The descent was fairly straightforward, the only concern was slipping on the fallen leaves and other bush ground litter. On reaching a certain level, I headed east towards GZ and managed to overshoot by about 15m probably due to poor GPS reception so close to the cliff face.

Backtracking a bit, I decided to put away the GPSr and begin the search in some likely places, which eventually led me back up the rocks towards the top again. I was surprised when I eventually spotted the cache container in a quite easily accessible location, it seems I made this find a lot harder than it actually should have been! (or someone has moved the cache to an easier-to-get-to location?). I loved the natural bush surroundings of this location, very peaceful, and future finders need not be concerned if the forget to bring a pen, there are plenty in this cache!

Signed log and replaced, must agree with previous finders that while not trivial, it's probably not a T5 cache, which was a little disappointing, but still a beautiful place for a cache. TFTC perry.stephenson!

#492 (1 of 8 today) (streak day 86)

Oh wow!
Decided to tackle two caches on my D/T matrix today that were fairly close together. This was the first. Now you's think I'd go for the 1/2½ or 1/3 I still need. Naaaah. Decided to go for a 5 terrain all by myself, didn't I?

Parked at the nearby oval and walked the trail at the far end. Well, with the two phone towers doubling as oval light towers, if something went wrong I knew I'd have good phone reception. Then the track faded a bit, so a little bushbashing was required.

Got near GZ and looked at the task ahead and my options... If there was an easier way to grab this cache, I missed it. Picking my approach, I slowly and carefully moved towards the cache (checking and rechecking each move before I made it), and was relieved to spot it early enough on the descent to know I wasn't going this way for nothing.

There was one small rock that took all my weight on the way down and the way back up. Many thanks to that rock.

Signing duties were completed in a cramped, but safe, spot. I think it was harder going back up - which I often seem to find the case.

So glad I pushed myself for this one - definitely out of my comfort zone.

Quick find and scramble 3.5 t only TFTC

So glad I had my hiking boots on for this one would not recommend doing this cache without sturdy appropriate footwear. Took geodogs in with me and once we got to GZ I PAF to gauge how serious this was going to get. Also doing this on my own it wasn't a bad idea to let someone know where I was. Left all my belongings except for a pen in a safe place and told my geodogs not to move. Went gingerly down to check out what I was in for and realised I needed one more piece of PPE. Went back to my belongings and geodog #2 who is very obedient and an over pleaser had not moved at all, unlike geodog #1 who is going to die of curiosity. This time I grabbed my phone in case I got in trouble and put on my knee pads, threatened absolute death to my geodogs if they dared moved and headed back down. The sand made it incredibly heart racing and I was looking in an area I would have placed the cache only not to find it. So I turned around and couldn't believe I hadn't spotted it before this as it was sitting in plain view. Crawled my way to the cache which had not been sealed properly but all the contents were ok. SL #1184 closed the cache properly and was careful not to slide on the sand and off the edge. Returned to geodogs who had both remained exactly where I left them. Good girls! TFTC and for my first 5T.

Love the view . Left a penny although there was room to leave a load more.

Always love a good rock scramble or climb.

Lovely location, great weather and a fun cache to find.

Thanks for the cache!

After a long bush bash, and a read of some older logs, we realised that we had not taken the well trodden path that everyone else uses... A perfect GZ with nice views, and an exciting climb and hunt to find the cache. Definitely a favourite. I think we will be back to visit this one.

What a gorgeous spot! The view was stunning. Really enjoyed the trek out to this cache & made a nice quick find. Really need to be careful of extremely steep drop-offs etc. Thanks heaps for bringing me out here! TNLNSL / TFTC

We had a pleasant walk, some rock scrambling and a good stretch to get this spacious cache then we sat on the flat rock above and enjoyed surroundings.
Thanks perry.stephenson for taking us to such a nice place!

Found with one half of Sensible Shoes.
My first 5 star terrain cache but have probably done harder ones so don't think this is really 5 stars.
Nice bit of bushland and a quick find once at GZ.
SL TNLN TFTC

Second find of Mr S's day of caching with Sensible Sis. After a nice walk to GZ and a bit of a scramble down, the cache was in hand. We heard some wallabies or kangaroos in the valley below, but didn't see them. Nice to have a 5 star terrain cache under my belt. TNLNSL TFTC.

after finding the other one nearby I wondered over to grab this on a coolish summer day. after checking a few spots above went below for a quick find and sign. when placing back the fun began the cache didn't go back but slid toward the edge stopping just before the 3mts drop. so I had to go in from the other side to retrieve it and replace it. just a little harder than it was before.

still not a real five star but at least a three and a half , possibly a five star if you were in a wheelchair.

Lovely bush walk. Geoson 1 made the climb down to it. Dropped off Escapees RV TB and Starfish TB. Nice one for a late sunday afternoon.

This is one of the times I should come prepared as this would have been the ideal spot to drop off some TBs I picked up yesterday.
I saw this and the nearby one come up on the car satnav as I was driving home. As the iPhone has the geocaching app on it I was able to pull up the details and use it to navigate to the cache.

The coords put me within a metre of the cache and it was an easy find from there.

The cache container could do with a bit of maintenance to its hinges. A bit of oil or WD40 would make the lid a lot easier to close.


TNLNSL

Thanks for the walk and cache perry.stephenson

I spotted it quite quickly but more through luck than design. The access to the cache is fairly precarious and requires a bit of a stretch to grasp it, I wouldn’t recommend small children venture too close. Nevertheless, it is an extremely attractive piece of bushland. I have been to Holland Reserve many times in the past, as my sons played cricket on the oval in their junior days, but I never explored the adjacent bush. It took a geocache to lure me in, thanks. SL, took TB.

Another easy find.
I think only the last bit of the track(terrain) warrants a 5.
TFTC

Second attempt at this. I was nearby today and thought I needed to try again. Got to a spot where the GPS was showing only a few metres to GZ so of course continued on trying to make it more difficult. Scrambled round little ledges and slopes for a while before deciding to return to the spot where I had the good GPS reading.

Had a thought then that I hadn't checked one obvious spot. Sure enough spotted it and then worked out the safest way to get to it. Certainly wouldn't want to attempt this in the dark. Thanks P.S.

Just dropped in to leave a bug. Was hoping on getting the coin here too but it's not there...

We have not attempted this one for a long time due to its difficulty rating. Turned out to be much easier than anticipated.

Parked at the suggested place at Holland Park and made our way across the playing fields and into the path at the top right hand corner.

Found the trail quite easy and GZ soon had cache in hands in a matter of seconds.

Definately doesn't warrant a terrain 5 but glad to have one on my stats!!!

Beautiful sunny day and I was on a mission to find a container to drop off some TBs. This caught my eye and off I trotted across the field to find a short path down towards GZ. Had some sort of 6th sense about exactly where it would be so lowered myself down, shuffled along and retrieved it without too much bother. Sat at GZ to enjoy a sarnie and it was then I looked down to my right and noticed I was sat right by a precipitous drop. Luckily I managed to hold onto my lunch and once it was eaten I climbed back up to safer ground. TFTC x

Well I'd not tried for a terrain 5 before, and this seemed worth a shot. Found without too much difficulty, but it is somewhat precarious in parts. Thanks perry.stephenson.

I don't care what some may say. This is my 5 and probably the only one I will ever get considering I have this ridiculous fear of heights.

It is amazing to think that this is only 300m or so from Holland park - if you had been dropped in here by helicopter you would not have a clue where you are.

I am so glad I did it! A BIG TFTC!!!

Was prepared for an epic find, however I don't think that this should be terrain 5 - perhaps 3.5? In hinsight I could have taken my geoson to GZ.

To be 5, I think needs either:
- specialised equipment
- a big mountain climb (1500m+)
- a big descent
- or a decent swim

But anyway, enjoyed finding it.

Found on second attempt ... Dryer here today ... A bit easier under foot for scrambling around ... TFTC!!

Keen to see what the Terrain 5 was all about we pulled up at the oval and saw GZ was only 300 odd metres away so off we headed. We found some trails and took the right branches to get close to GZ. A small rock hop and the GPSr showed we where just about on top of GZ so that only meant one thing it was somewhere lower on the cliff. Avoided a few wet slippery areas and then found a short hop down and along a little ledge and bingo we spoted the cache in its hidely and all nice and dry. We opened it up, read the logs and looked at the great valley views with all the trees. We packed up, replaced and headed back. TFTC

I was looking for a spot to hide the TB for my latest/first cache creation and Geodad suggested that this would be worthwhile. We headed off into the bush as soon found ourselves at the cliffs, I sacrambled down and around a little and had cih without too much fuss. A great view and hide - An excellent little adventure all 'round.

Geodad left the "Hornet TB"

Visited here with L0ckSmith this afternoon and made a TB drop, after he made the find.

Took a stroll through the park to this one, we were wondering when the terrain was going to change, we didn't have to wait long. The going wasn't all that tough until we got the the wet bit. (Definitely T5 in the rain or other bad weather). Just managed to get to the hide, and back out in one piece in the wet. Great area and TFTC.

Found with Team Unibolt on our caching adventure.....when for a walk down to this onesoon found out why it is rated 5 the last bit is slippery and some big drops the container needs a bit of TLC TFTC

Yep this shore is a t5 when doing it the hard way,tftc.
