Quick find on this nice hide. I would give the terrain an additional half star at least - its not easy to get to especially on approach from the freeway and I'm not sure how else you would get in there! Even if you do head in from the trailhead, the site around GZ is a but challenging when the grass is long. TFTC. I've been eyeing it off since I got home 4 weeks ago!
Wow!! Long time since this one had been found so PCE and I had set ourselves the challenge of hunting some oldies but goodies. Clever hide ALL7. TFTH
Out and about today with 3ferrets for a few quick caches. Never been down this road before. Great spot. TNLNSL
Second place i looked which is unusual for me! Good job too as this one could have had me looking for a while. TFTC!
Out and about in the area again today.
So many caches to find.
I am now guessing I did not park in the best spot to approach this one after finding the track.
A bit of searching before spotting the camo.
Thanks for the cache

Found today with the Little Roo while out and about nice warm day to be out we came across some Very large kangaroo prints in the mud we found this one nice and quick great hide well done ALL7 TFTC
On our way home from doing some caches up north, between the two of us here it didn't take too long before all duties completed. TFTC
Our last few for the day as we headed up the old road to the parking spot near the freeway. We wander over to #1 and soon spotted the container, signed the log and moved on. TFTC
Up the rocky path to #2 which took us a while find as it was well covered but we eventually found. We completed the signing duties and hid. TFTC
On to #4 and as we closed in we saw what was at hand. A careful survey and we moved to a particular spot to spot something that look interesting and made the find of the nice bit of camo. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Well now after spending over half an hour looking for No3 and not finding it and this one was also a D4 I thought it would be the same, this one again co-ords spot on and had in hand in under 30 seconds.. TFTC All 7

7131 Out today for a bike ride and did this one before doing freeway 3. Got to gz and found it straight away. Had fun jumping over the log TFTC
Our last one in this series and all done in one go! We had a lot of places to look in at this GZ and Orrsome found this as we was on the right. A neat little hide. Terrain could do with an extra star.
Thanks for the walk, series and tricky hide!
Thanks for the walk, series and tricky hide!
Night caching with TOMBI saw us heading down to this series and to see if we could find one or two others nearby. I managed to spot this one after a few minutes of searching the area. TFTC
Found easy I just car parking then I have to do walk on the way to #4 from #1 [Time to Find: 11 min]
Opa-Bob and I strolled along the side of the freeway from #2, bypassing #3 for our return journey...as we came over the rise, an area that looked likely appeared, so we pocketed the devices....a previous finder had noted that his geo-daughter would have liked this one, so I tried to think like my geo-girls would - Remmus would have loved playing around here, so I knew we were in the right spot, and the search commenced - I took one end, Opa-Bob the other, but before too long I decided I might need the GPS advice after all - checking the distance, I was told I was still 12m away, so off I went to the obvious feature the GPS pointed me to - while Opa-Bob focused on an area HIS GPS indicated, and AGAIN, Opa-Bob got to take home finders honours! When he pointed out the spot, I immeadiately spied what I'd seen once previously on an ALL7 trail - I liked it then, and I liked it now - but wasn't at all what I was expecting to find here.....I really should stop expecting anything!!
Thanks for another good hunt for another good cache, and the resulting smiley ALL7

We picked this area as the likely GZ as soon as we topped the hill after leaving #2 so headed straight here without reference to our GPSs ... fortunately we were right. After a quick recce of the area, I pulled out my GPS and asked for directions ... "over there, 3 metres", was the reply ... and lo and behold, straight away I spied something out of place ... and it was the cache. Thanks for a nice cache that's a bit different to the norm, ALL7 ... I think its D4 rating is probably over the mark, but who's complaining.
Spend time with All7 for two nights... so All7 to be my chauffeur for the afternoon... The weather isn't nice but nothing to stop me. anyway enjoyed wander the country area... signed the log Thanks All7 for hide the cache and hunt.

Geocache: # 1,129.
Found on: Sunday, 19th January 2014 at 9:50 AM.
Current streak: # 173 days.
Today's finds: 2 of 13.
Caching party: morry9 & AlphaDeltaIndigo.
Morry9, AlphaDeltaIndigo and I had been planning our trip up to Newcastle to attend the ‘Onya Bike at the Fernleigh Track & Glenrock Conservation Area. The plan of attack today included a number of Old School caches and hides that would help fill in some blanks in our Difficulty / Terrain matrix. It was a relatively early morning start and we hit the road travelling north up the old F3 highway. We managed to bag 13 caches in total, including 3 Old School and another 3 difficulty / terrain caches! The finds for the day included Aero-Vale, FREEWAY #4, ‘Onya Bike (Event Cache), Fernleigh Loop Fire Trail, High Voltage Rock & Roll, Berocca Bomber 1, Guns Nano’s and a little fun, Tentacle Tree, Off the Bypass, Hunter Valley Vista, Sugar Sugar, Sugarloaf summit scene and #18 The Thin Black Line. Another great summer road trip and big day out!
We parked the car near the gate of the fire trail and walked along the track towards the published co-ordinates. Once at Ground Zero, it was a quick find and we soon had the Cache In Hand. We performed the signing duties before returning the cache and its cammo to the original hiding location. Signed Log, Took Nothing Left Nothing. Thanks For The Cache ALL7.

GC Buddy for the cache: "JordsAu & Morry9
Cache condition: Good
Log condition: Good
Bright sunny day, after finding Aero-vale and just before heading to the event, we decided to give this D4 rating cache a go [mental challenges #myfav]… Feeling jolly and melodious (the boys) and me a little grumpy (due to the heat), walked up to this cache. At gz, the three of us spread out (with the mission to find it). Before long, Morry9's sharp vision found this smart lil cache!
Nice camo!

Fairly quick find, met some cachers that had already found this one, asked if i was close, and they said 'very'.... SL TFTC
This was super easy to find. While the cache container is creative it does stand out quite considerably.

this is by far the easiest in this series and it is a clever little container a favourite point for the series and for the fun my daughters and I had out walking with our dog.Thanks ALL7 TNLN SL
Catching up on logging after a long break. Been a while so I cannot remember seeing any issues with the cache . TFTC ALL7

Found quickly. Very nice cache container. Probably easier than it's 4 star rating but I won't complain too much haha. Thanks for the cache ALL7!

No. 4 This cache was probably the easiest of the 4 to find. Although well hidden, just use your eyes.

Nice walk down the side of the link road. Pass this spot every day, always wondered what was down here. TFTC.
I had looked fot this one a week ago but no luck nut I thought I had found the hide with no container. I msgd the CO and true to their word they have replaced the container and provided a new hide. Thanks for your efforts. Plenty of frogs about today.
I reckon I found the hide though. I shall contact the CO and let them know what I have found, and see if it is the cache or not.
Driving home from Newcastle and just happened to look at the GPS. A quick stop, a bit of a walk, and a few caches. Nice!
A great opportunity to pull over and find some caches. Something stood out to me and it turned out to be the cache! Thanks....
This one was fun as I didn't turn on GPS just walked along from #2 till I came to a likely area and glanced around. Cache spotted straight away. Great to see some different camo for a change! Thanks.
I was a bit daunted by the 4 star difficulty rating, so my first search was just a walk around to have a general look in the vicinity of GZ.
I saw something on the ground that I thought granddaughter MissTheMonks would like, but I decided to leave it, as it turned out to be the cache!
So a 4 difficulty turned into a 1 and a very quick find!!! But it is still well hidden.

Found at 12:46 PM GAFF3 - although the hint was as useful as a screen door in a submarine. The hint could have been just as useful if it was said: "it's not there" or "if you can't find it is because you haven't looked in the right spot" or even "what colour are you wearing" All very useless [:o)].
A difficulty of 4.0 had me trembling - especially after the #1 DNF's which is rated a lot less, however by simply walking around to the right side the cache hide was identified.
Thanks ALL7.

Reperio at 0815.
Parked down the road a little and made my way back to this one bypassing the rest of the series to collect on the way back. Once at GZ, the cache didn't take long to spot...and then it was on to the next one.
Gratias ALL7.

Have been watching this series since placement, so was granted a leave pass and leaving the van behind as well today I was able to make this clever find.
What a great hide. Really glad I stopped by the side of the road and made the quick trip over the fence.
Glad I didn't meet any snakey's around GZ.

DNF 2035 - 2050 Then back to the car and check GSAK on the laptop, and realise I'd left the borrowed GPSr at the last cache so had to go back, and after a couple more circles around GZ I soon found the cache at 2155 GAFF3
Unable to leave a CSM - correct site marker, but brought thru B2B ingot and trackable shirt for mileage.
Cache nice and dry, good coords and good hide.

Really enjoyed this hide! Especially since Luke totally looked past this. Then I had to save the day. Grabbed during a bike ride setting ourselves a PB for most caches found on a bike ride. This ended up 3 of 5! thanks ALL7.
A really good cache which seemed at first to be very tricky. Worth a favourite point. TFTC
Quick find with no way to avoid passing muggles. Luckily they are traveling past at +100km/hr. TFTC.
Headed out from Morisset this morning to get a few caches. An area we have not cached in before so it was nice looking at the scenery. This was one we targetted to find and were successful. A very nice hide and this one gets a fav point.
Thanks to ALL7.

Running out of daylight once again, stopped to give ALL7 clues on my nearby hide first, then onto find this tricky little hide. Walk to hides GZ is quite rough and a real ankle twister so be careful.

Came down to grab a few more of ALL7's caches. This was number 3 on the list. Another quick find by Mrs C as the GPS went straight to it. Good coords. Thanks ALL7.
We have been thinking about this type of cache for a while, so unfortunately saw it straightaway. Thanks for a good hide.
Last find for the day, was a bit worried after striking out on #1 and #3.. but decided to keep walking up to this one and found it without any troubles.

Joint *FTF* with Jonignite, #2 for the day after getting bored at work.
Looked at the rating and thought this one might take a while, after we had been searching for less than a minute or so jonignite stumbled across the cache in record time. A nice little hide was ticked off the list and off we went. TFTC.
