Wow!!! What a cool cache!!
Needs serious maintenance though the cache itself doesn’t close and everything is waterlogged inside. Log is ruined.
What a cool adventure though!!

Container is a little broken so not sealing correctly, log is wet and not usable. Still a fun find x
Wow a really tough one! Didn’t wear longpants though I ought to have. Surely it wasn’t meant to be in the picture?
A DNF but TFTC

Very hilly and rough to get into on bicycle with muggle blockages as well. Car based walk in next time.
No luck.
We had a beautiful walk in this wild regrown valley. Amazing fungi, lichen and autumn flowers.
On the other hand, there are a lot of trees down, a lot of muddy sludge, hordes of ravenous mozzies, razor-sharp grass…
and no sign of the cache.

Found the cache, it was a challenging find with lots of great bush to surround it. TFTC!
As described… our first cache! Forgot to bring a pen but left a coat hanger! Cache could do with some maintenance.
Tried to find this after work on Thursday, then j decided that Shorts and flip-flops may not have been the best attire for a Geocaxhe named “Bush-Bash”
Returned today in much more appropriate clothing and after maybe too much bush bashing than necessary (I didn’t realise there was a specific path to take with only minimal bush bashing at the end ) the cache was soon in hand!
Took nothing but left a guitar pick from my nearby place of work: Kingsgrove School of Music

A nice little bit of bushland in between houses, after walking up to gz, I spotted the cache out in the open. I placed it back in its hidey hole after signing the log, thank you!
Being eaten alive by mosquitoes and was about to give up and finally found it! Great hint, container needs replacing as all logs are wet and falling apart.
Good find. Unfortunately the container does not close properly and the elements got to it
This one was pretty tricky to get to as the path isn’t as clear as it probably once was. Found what I think is the right tree and the right rocks, but couldn’t find it!
My goodness too me a while to find as a tree has fallen disrupting the path, also the container is compromised and log is saturated
We lost the path on our way in and ended up finding GZ before we found the path again. The cache was then quickly spotted by Sandysa. Thanks!
A little bit of bushbashing with my geo-friend. Ended up finding it definitely needs a new container, and log, the little
Clip is broken. TFTC anyways.

Nice hiding spot in a quiet little wood. I think the container may need replacing, it doesn't close. Great location. Thanks for placing.
Need to find right path and tree as there are a few contenders! Enjoyed this tucked away area. I approached from Barnsbury Grove via a staircase with houses either side. Interesting place. TFTC
Wow! That was definitely a bush bash! Didn't take too long. Log is on an old receipt and will need replacing. Cache container lid is not secure so contents can easily fall out and be exposed. May need to replace soon. TFTC
Had to be at the airport early today to drop off my wife and daughter for their Europe trip. This meant taking the day of work and as I was with nothing to do by 10 am I went to search for caches on my way home. The mozzies got to me today!

So many jobs to do in different parts of Sydney today, so I put this cache on my radar to keep my streak going as I was going to be nearish to it.
In the end all my jobs were very satisfactory!!!
I did have a bit of trouble with No Entries and R/L only turns as I don't know this part of Sydney very well. Finally found parking not far from Stotts Reserve and began my walk in.
I went the way I thought looked best from google satellite and then followed the GPS. This meant I did have a bush bash. (Of course I found a much easier wasy back!)
Once at GZ I found the container very quickly but the lid was off and there was no logsheet inside so I scrabbled around in my geobag and found some recycled paper that I signed and left as a replacement log. Turned around to walk out along the track I could see, and what could I see? Well another container, exactly the same except the first one was coloured and is the one in the photo gallery and this second one was plain but did have a logsheet so I signed that too.
Both containers were hidden as described in the hint.

A short walk with not really a bush bash in sight today. Lid on container is broken but otherwise all good. TFTC!
Follow instructions carefully. Lots of paths to lead you astray... Needs maintenance...
I first found the logless dummy cache before turning my head and spotting the real one with the log.
My last cache for the day me thinks.
Thanks.

Tftc - found the empty old one and geo child urged me to keep looking for a second cash which was located easily. Sadly the log in the plastic bag were rather wet. Needs fresh Ziploc bag for long. Very nice bush bash indeed!

Found GZ pretty quickly and what we thought was the cache but nope no log there mmm interesting but then wasnt too long before we found the cache with log TFTC
We parked on top of the stairs and walked down towards the green area where the cache was supposed to be. On our way we triggered a number of not very well trained and behaved dogs at nearby properties. It is amazing how it can be accepted that dogs should be allowed to bark just because someone is passing outside the property.
At GZ we soon found both cache containers (we do not understand why there are two, one marked as 'geocache' but with no contents).

Actually there are 2 containers. One empty one and another newer container with goodies and a page to sign
A nice hidden piece of bushland.
Unfortunately the container had moisture in it and the log was damp.

Well after 3 years overseas I need to thank those who have been looking after it for me. A new case has been placed to replace the one that was broken.
I was out and about and found myself close to this cache. The car was parked nearby and then it was a walk up through the park along the track, with just a short bush-bash at the end. I must have came in from an alternative track, as the hint only made sense after I had found the cache and was walking back out. But it was still a fairly easy find, with the colourful cache being slightly exposed. Signed the log and then replaced it with a bit more camo to keep it out of sight from muggles. A nice little bush park here, which I never knew existed. TFTC
While my cousins were looking in a totally different spot to me, i was looking in a different spot. Though this turned out to be way off the mark and before i knew it, i could hear them saying "I found it!".

This one was a pain cause of the stuffed gps. We saw a picture which kinda led us in the right direction...but eventually, there it was!
Once on the right path and with the hint it was a quick find in lovely piece of remnant bushland. Note to CO: the clip on one side of the container is broken off. TFTC Team W.A.L.L.S.
Find number 3 of 3 while out on a caching afternoon with geotoddler #1.
The cache promised a bush bash and it delivered. There are so many tracks criss-crossing this small reserve. It was third time lucky for us before a suitable track to GZ was found.
Arriving at GZ something suspicious was spotted and it was CIH! Signed the log, swapped some swag and grabbed the trackable. Then to my horror as I was carefully closing the cache I heard a nasty crack, oh no the closing mechanism is broken. My sincere apologies for this. I have emailed the CO about sorting out a replacement cache, not sure whether they are still active. I have closed the cache as best as I could and tried to position it so it won't take on water while a fix is sorted.
Thanks for the cache Team W.A.L.L.S, I have sent a you message

16:19 went up the wrong path twice. Thank you so much for the hint, it was needed.
Logsheets numerous, a little humid to the touch. Bring own pen/cil.

Not often you have to bush bash in Sydney. Great spot and very well hidden. Found with Whypie.
Great little spot. Nice hide and dropped a TB I picked up in Hawaii - please keep it moving. Found with Puglumps. TFTC.
Nice little pocket of bush. Did see a few weeds. Ha ha. Great container and a quick find. Tftc tnln
Easy cache but so much bush and very slippery. Grass with flowers can be a bit damp and so beware of the mosquitoes. Anyway nice container and great camouflage
I needed to head up towards the city today so I took the opportunity to grab a few caches as I headed in both directions.
I took the wrong track which made my first attempt harder, back out and on the right track and I was soon at GZ
Thanks for being a part of my fun day.

My 5yo found it in about a minute. The walk in was a real adventure for him and his 6yo brother
Cool park! Never knew it was here. Super sweet! Geokids and geodog all had fun.

Is that a path in? Never spotted a fallen tree and a bit of bush bashing but got close fairly easily and spotted the hide fairly quickly as well. An interesting pocket of bush, thanks Team W.A.L.L.S.
Great piece of bushland. Thanks for bringing me here. Straight-forward find. tftc Team WALLS.
#305 First of seven finds on a quick afternoon's caching around Bexley North and along Wolli Creek. Found after quick search. TFTC and introducing me to this lovely bush land.
In the area....a break in the rain....looked easy compared with some bush bashes I have done.....lack of rain made no difference....shoes and socks wet as....got the cache.
..The things you do for a smiley.

Found with Mr D while out for an afternoon of geocaching. Not quite the bush bash I was expecting. Soon had the CIH and I visited a TB. TFTC Team WALLS.
