Unfortunately because of all the new houses here the cache is no longer safe & has to be archived.
Thankyou

Found this one today hoping neighbours wouldn't see me. Unfortunately all that was left of the cache was the container (refer to photo) my guess is that the nearby house has found it. Could not find logbook but left container on the ground.

TFTC you may need to relocate.

Refer to my log there is not much left of this cache

Nice area. Just do not worry about the private road sign. TFTC
 
24-Aug-13
I'll take any of the nearby houses, please. When can I get another lottery ticket to pay for them? Absolute spectacular views!

Gps wanted me to approach from Menangle Road but relying on the description, finally found my way to Finns Road. The description needs a few more directions though as there’s at least another right then left (depending on direction travelled). It was moosetash’s log however that confirmed I was finally on the right road with the arrow now pointing directly ahead a reasonable distance.
 
07-Aug-13
Nice views. Some locals thought that I was lost and offered to help me find my way back to Menangle road (Nice People). Quick find.
 
01-Aug-13
This may need moving, once this house is finished it will be found Sad The geokid found this one with me.
 
31-Jul-13
Great views from here, a little worried about the new house being built so close-by I hope this cache stays around. What a beautiful spot, thanks Bulba's
 
18-Jul-13
Many moons ago I used to often ride along Finns rd, a pity I never came down here to admire the fantastic views. Thanks Bulba's.
 
09-Jul-13
Certainly a spectacular view here! We were a little worried about the sign that said private road, but clearly that didn't stop us. We did discuss where we would build to maximise our view if we happened to live here. Thanks for the cache.
 
07-Jul-13
Last cache of the day. What a view. Totally worth the drive out here.
 
19-May-13
Found this cache today while on our way to the Steam Museum for a display day.
The Views from up here are spectacular. There are so many new houses and properties with some very challenging lawns to mow.
NO TB's to be FOUND.
Thanks for the trip and view Bulba"s

Wow, what a stunning location! If you go to the vacant lot a bit further up the hill you get almost a 360-degree panorama. Anyway I was a little wary because of a car parked right near GZ and the house obviously under construction. Found the object in question but no sign of the cache - but I did spot a redback, so be careful turning things over here. Just about gave up and then realised it was a little further afield and made the find. Took some photos of the views - TFTC!

Love the view
Nice spot

Great spot. You can almost touch the sky here.
 
14-Jan-13
Up private driveway however a nice spot
New earthworks for house and driveway nearby, hopefully this cache will last
 
09-Dec-12
Got to this one today and was abit worried about the sign saying private road. We went up it anyway and was surprised how close this was to a house. Found the cache uncovered so covered up alittle. TFTC
 
11-Oct-12
What a spectacular view! I am one of those locals who never knew about this place, thanks for bringing me here. The GZ has been slightly covered with building material as a house is being constructed nearby. Not sure if the cache will last here much longer in its current form. TFTC
 
01-Oct-12
Wow lovely view, this is a hidden Jem.

Found the cache and stopped to admire the million dollar view.
 
23-May-12
Wow what a beautiful spot!! And Bulba's is correct I am a local and never know this place was here.
TFTC.
 
20-May-12
This area has some fantastically beautiful property's, i particularly like the free dump truck with its 'water feature'.
A nice view from GZ, found the cache, the neighbors are building and have got their building material hiding the cache!
SL and replaced TFTC
 
29-Apr-12
Bit worried about the private road sign, but like everyone else I chose to ignore it before heading up to the GZ. Had the cache in hand quickly. Great view up here. Thanks for bringing me to this place.
 
24-Apr-12
Beautfiul views from this cache. Birthday cache no.1 for the chilly afternoon.
 
21-Apr-12
Expected it to be gone with recent building works but it was a quick find. Contents were a bit wet so dried everything. Log book was dry. TFTC
 
07-Apr-12
Still here, but no 'TB'. Nice place for a rest and to plan the next find. Found by 'J' of JYGE?
 
18-Feb-12
Please verify that cache still exists as someone was taken down the fence and put a driveway in.
 
07-Feb-12
Found this one today following a nearby meeting for a new job site.

I was a little concerned about the Private Road signage but like those before me I proceeded along the road to a magnificent view and a simple find.

If the concerns over the Private Road signage are unwarranted I would suggest adding a note to the listing to advise of this.

TNLN and thanks Bulba's for the cache.
 
23-Dec-11
An easy find in a great location. What a view! TFTC
 
20-Dec-11
Nice views no TB in cache
 
20-Dec-11
Found with Teambooo, Booo Booo and Glenwarra

Was still a bit nervious with the private road sign but the development of an new estate was encouraging. Cache was found quickly by Teambooo. TNLN-SL.

TYFC!
 
07-Dec-11
Ive lived in Douglas Park and now Camden my whole life and have probably driven past this road a million times yet never realised anything was out there, thanks geocaching for showing me new places.

Was a bit put off by a Private Road sign coming into this one but like any good geocacher i ignored it and pushed on Smile

Also grabbed a Travel Bug out of it, however it stated there was 2 in there but there was just the one so one has gone missing along the way.
 
06-Dec-11
Thanks For The Cache
Great views here thanks for bringing us to this place
No TB in cache but I dropped one in
 
06-Nov-11
Wow, I wouldn't mind having a house build here. TFTC no inventory
 
05-Nov-11
What amused me about this one was that the property next to the cache is actually For Sale. I imagined that in future wiley real estate agents might start planting caches like this near prime real esate they need to move. Anyway, as the title suggests, there were some great views from GZ. I noticed a cutting being made through a hill about a kilometre away, ith a new road going through, as well. Anyway, a nice easy find. Thanks
 
05-Nov-11
Iu felt a little uncertain driving up a private road to get to this one, but figure the owners must be nearby.Yes, some great views and a simple cache to boot.Thanks.
 
05-Nov-11
Found with the family.
 
05-Nov-11
Woops- accidentally missed this one from our trip today, so it's out of order. Not to worry Its not a milestone) but I'm getting close to 1000 now. Thanks- top spot, great views!
 
19-Oct-11
Nice easy find. No need to worry about snakes or leeches or mosquitoes. Climbing further up the hill gives even better views.
 
12-Oct-11
I was here six months ago and turned back at the "Private Road" sign. This time I just did what all of the others geocachers must do, I closed my eyes and kept on driving. Once at GZ the cache was out in the open, so I signed the log and returned it to the obvious location.

Cheers

Easy. Trackable missing!.

Wow what a fantastic view from up here - we see there are a couple of blocks of land for sale as well. I think they'll be a bit beyond our price range. This is now our favourite lookout point in the area!

Left a TB " Skeletons in your closet".
SL. TN. TFTC!!!

Ps. For anyone worried about the "Private Road" sign, given its in the street maps and there are "For Sale" signs out the front of some of the land, I don't think people will be offended if you go up there.

Ignoring the Private Road sign I zipped up to this cache with great views. A nice spot and the cache was quickly found. Thanks!
 
Lid was off and contents were exposed to the elements. Log is damp, and needs replacing. I put it in a zip lock bag, replaced lid and hid it a bit better.
 
Found with Daddy to Mini Moffs. Was exposed and the lid was off - log was wet although I put it in a zip lock bag. Hid it a bit better (as well as I could). Gorgeous spot, and I think the 'private road' isn't really private as it's on the GPS...
 
24-Mar-11
I could not seem to find a way to get to this cache other than along a road marked 'Private Road.' It looks like other finders have just ignored that sign.
 
02-Jan-11
A quick detour on the way to Campbelltown with Limesugarlink to take care of some unfinished cache
business.This is one great location for views of the surrounding areas will worth the detour thanks
for bringing us here Bulbas..TFTC.....SmileSmile

Smile What a view, we travel along Finns road at least once every two weeks to the nephew's place at Douglas Park and never thought to take a drive up the side streets we will have to take a few more back roads in the future. TFT VIEW

Awesome view. So didn't realise that this little road existed. Such a different view from the road we usually travel below. Thanks so much for this one.
 
26-Sep-10
Location location location, isnt that a real estate slogan and if you live near here you've certainly got great views.
Cache has been found by some muggles who have signed their name, maybe they're the neighbouring house.
Thanks
 
25-Sep-10
For this one I clocked up a lot of K's.Went up the right road to start with and there was a small sign " Private Road" So I used my Tom Tom and put in the co-ordinates it took me 17k around to Menangle road.Nearest point was still 600 mt across paddock.So back to where I was before and ignored the sign.Easy find then.Gotcha.Great view from up there and worth the effort Gotcha16

Thanks, been in Macarthur for 30 years and didn't know these views were here.
