Took a detour up here...what a spot. Wasn't even looking for this cache. Stopped to enjoy the view... thought..I bet there is a cache here..and there was 83mtrs from where I had stopped. Cache is a bit rusty insite...new container not required but wouldn't be a bad idea and pencil. Could sign log.
Nice one! TFTC.

I've been meaning to do this one for a while, but its always getting late and I dont have the time. Today, I was a here a bit earlier, so went for the drive up to this great spot. Nice to see some water in the dam, and the grass trees are nice. Cache found quickly and all OK.
Thanks,

**Cache Condition:** Average.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
**Trackables:** None seen in this cache today.
**The Cache**
The cache was in fairly good condition although was soaking inside and partially rusty, so it probably needs replacing at some stage. As I didn't have a big enough replacement with me so I have left this one as is but undertaken maintenance such as some cleaning up and added a mint tin in a plastic bag. That should do until another time. Awesome view.
**The Day**
OCW *Mr ToC*, *Little Kitten* and *DustyJapserJet* for a quick weekend caching and cache maintenance, and WOW, what a weekend it was - Absolutely AMAZING !!! We had a fantasic time. A bit sunburnt [:o)] on the drivers side arm, tired, exercised and very happy from a journying through some amazing countryside. We found a bunny among bricks beside a cache , sheep running loose outside fencelines, fortunely No snakes . A hot day but a nice breeze is blowing.
51 = 45 2 4 [8)] not attempted.

Found while OCW *Throsbyonchurch* and *DustyJasperJet* Thanks for the cache hide. SL and returned cache to where we found it. ♡♡☆☆
Todays solo geo mission was boorawa, hovells creek, reids flat and up to whyangalla dam. A handful of caches, a few dnfs, plenty of roadkill and a near run in with a monster goanna. What a great day and enjoyed such scenic drives around too.
Amazing views here wow!

We arrived at GZ to find a muggle fussing about and enjoying the view (who can blame her.. the view is pretty impressive). So onto some other caches, grabbing this with a nff on the way back through. In the end our 7th find of the day on our unloved cache tour. Beautiful day out with minniek!
Headed out with nibletricecakes for a day of collecting unloved caches.
Such a lovely drive out here. This time past muggle was gone so able to make the find.

What great views as we toured around with mnjontour today. Glimpses of the dam as we signed the log. Thanks again wbfoto
And what a view it was in all directions. Aren't rocks amazing!! What a great way to get to Wyangala Dam. Both us and the Stormcatchers are enjoying our little caching trip up to Wyangala Dam. Thanks for bringing us,up here wbfoto.
Last time we came through there was an excavator sitting right at GZ. We didn't want to play with it so kept going. No one around today and we enjoyed the cache and the wonderful views. Thanks.
Was a bit worried by the number of possible hiding places, but in the end we picked the right one. We were happy to find the space was not occupied by a large machine (as it was a couple of years ago), but it was beautifully quiet and the views amazing. TFTC
I know I have traveled this road berfor in search of a cache or two

The view here is as promised, "What a View" worthy !! [:o]
The lake on one side and the wide sweeping landscapes on t'other [^]

WOW! What a view! Parked the car under a tree and enjoyed the view whilst having lunch. Even Santa and his reindeers were out on the neighbours fence to admire the view. TFTC
Found at 11:56:00 AM.
A day of caching around and above the dam with the family and camping and caching friends.
Not a bad view, but not a patch on yesterday's. Some nice flowering grass trees at GZ.
Found with DogBoyOz and the JmanJezzas

Out with the family and Noikmeister's family on a camping weekend at Wyangala Dam. This one was found by my daughter. Views nice over the back of the dam. Loved the clump of blackboys near the cache.
I hate to say it, but... What a view! Lovely spot up here. Found as took some very back roads home.
Stopped here and was shortly followed by an interesting couple in their sidecar with Itchy and Scratchy the wonder duo dogs. Had a good long natter about caching and biking etc then off to find the cache.
Found on a run out this way with Sol de lune. A nice quick find after a dash up the hill. Fantastic view in a nice spot. TNLNSL. TFTC wbfoto!
Yep, great views over the valley....so well worth the trip up here.
Thanks wbfoto.....more than happy to visit this area.....

A nice green view to the south after the rains of the recent weeks and with the dam at about 85% the view to the north was pretty good too.
Lots of boats could be seen out on the water.

Interesting grass trees near GZ.
We were getting a little wet as the rain was becoming more persistent.
Found after a brief search, then back to the dry car.

It was getting darker and the rain was getting heavier. One good thing was we had phone coverage, so it was time to catch up with our better halves. Cache was found and log was signed.
Grass trees might seem a little out of place, but it looks like a small parcel of remnant bushland behind them.
Cheers.

very nice view of Wyangla dam up here on the hill, good to see the dam full again. I thought that the blackboys near GZ were unusual but there were heaps more ove the fence, perhaps that is what the whole area was like before grazing took over. Thanks for the cache wbfoto, have never been down this road and am enjoying it
What a view!!! Co-ord's were spot on and then we stood an enjoyed the view for a while before moving back up the road for some more caching.
I thought this was a strange place to find a few grass trees but anything is possible. Decided that this is a wounderfull way to spend a day outing via going on a 36 hr road trip. Some fantastic views and stunning scenery. Thanks for a reason not just to drive this road but also stop and have a look around.

Out caching on an ACT public holiday with three other cachers. I suppose there would be a good view if there was some water in this end of the dam. Thanks.

Must say this view was the best for the day. Great to see watter in the dam. Nice spot TFTC
Yes a good view of the dam, lots of water. Easy find for the group. Thanks.
Views of water, views of rolling hills and a cache - what more could we ask for. TFTC
Quick find with Black Bunny and Candy Cane 101 on a day out caching. We've all been feeling a bit deprived lately, as life has been getting in the way of caching.
The view was worth it! Fantastic!

When we were looking for this cache we made a discovery. MR SPOOKS GOT OUT . But he was next to the cache so no harm was done. LOLZ GREAT VIEW
Thanx so much for this view ! the cache was found quick, which allowed time to take in more of surroundings, really cool "Black Boys" well worth a photo ! naughty aren't I !! hehe.
Thanx once again for the most groovy series, and we thought the last one was good ! we know have some amazing track logs of this area ! WAY cool.

What a view indeed. As I drove up to the parking area all I could think was WOW!! Followed the GPS to GZ, looked down, and there was the cache, well hidden of course. Quickly logged, replaced and back to the car as daylight was starting to run out. I didn't fancy driving this road at night in a 2WD. TFTC and the FTF.
