Was in the area so decided to have a quick look, like previous cachers I didn't find anything.
Unfound for six months, four DNFs, cache obviously gone and yet no one logs a Needs Maintenance log?
Well I was nearby today and it's not there so here it is.

Hmm...wasn't in the obvious place. Trampled around for a bit and still couldn't find it.
Came out here to pick up some TBS i didnt take last night.
After picking up TBs from another cache i came out to this one for my daily cache. What a interesting cache it is. out in the middle of no where. According to my maps its ment to be a road but looks more like a bush track. Hmmm out we get and leg it in. While walking in it looks like there was someone living here as there are a few mattresses with sheets on them. Kept going hmmm well its ment to be here somewhere looked here no not there looked there arrrr there it is. Great Ammo tin ashame its empty no TBS inside and left theones i collected earlier in the car.
SL @ 5.52pm and off home we go.

Found this the other day and forgot to log it. I have the luxury of owning a 4wd so took advantage of driving straight to the cache made a quick discovery signed log and replaced sadly no TB's to be found
Thanks for the cache and getting my car muddy good fun

Made my way down the thin black line again early this morning, Every tradie on the Central Coast must work in Sydney with the amount of utes and traytops heading south. First stop North Ryde to get the Geo Truck serviced and then out to South Windsor to get some work done on the tray. The sad part of my life is I can’t travel anywhere on business without first checking what caches are available in the area. So hopefully I’ll pick up a few along the way. Great cache. TFTC
On one of our regular Westwood trips and needing another for the streak and this was it.
Took a little more of getting to than we thought but eventually found our way to the access point.
A short stroll to GZ with a hop - skip and Jump over the water coarse to make it interesting.
Spotted a likely place and with no sign of Harry today the container was extracted.
No TB's inside... TNLN SL TFTC

Quite an adventurous find when a huntsman (Harry) the size of my hand came at me, protecting his cache, we had a futile stare off while E ran off screaming. Eventually the cache was opened, log signed and away we went, leaving Harry and his cache in peace. TFTC
Happy Australia Day!!! What better way to spend it than caching ...Thank goodness we brought the 4x4 today as it made this a nice easy drive up...not much in this one so it was a quick park & grab...T4TC
Found during a run around the area today to etch up a milestone.
A short detour turned this one into a driveby and great to see such a large ammo can. Sadly it was virtually empty. It's also a shame to see that some people are using the are as a tip site.
Thanks ADAcache for the cache.

Accompanied Everlasting while she is here for holiday... thanks for leading us here.
Diverted off the nearby power trailto grab this one. A quick find but no TB's home today. Unfortunately on the way back had to walk past a dead calf dumped on the side of the road wrapped in a blanket!! Go figure??!! Tftc

Found while out for a caching picnic day raining of course
Good to see but bad for caching in
Nice hide
No TB in cache must have been moved on

Out and about for a day's caching with pjmpjm.
After a fruitless search due to a slight bit of finger trouble on the GPSr the right spot was found. It is always a pleasure to find such nice containers, good hiding place and in fact you can drive right up to it so no need to bush bash (unless you have the wrong coords on the GPSr).
Just a shame so many people seem to think this is the local rubbish dump.
Thanks for the cache, the pick of the day for us.

Today I took a longish trip with rogerw3, down from the Blue Mountains towards Sydney, in order to do some part time work. We planned to do some geocaching, before and after, in the area from Penrith up to Windsor. In the end we made 12 GC finds and logged 8 GCA survey markers.
We enjoyed making this great cache container our eighth find and thought the hiding place was a very good one. Unfortunately, this bushy area is spoiled by lots and lots of rubbish dumping.
I entered one wrong digit in the coords of my GPSr, so rogerw3 and I made an initial fruitless tour of the area . . .
Be aware that with care you can actually drive to GZ. The hide isn't really too hard to access.
All was in good order but the cache needs more trackables. Hope everyone will help out!
Many thanks to ADAcache for the hide.

I left finding a cache a but late and thought I better get a close one to home or risk running around in the dark. I drove as far as I could in my low profile car and made the decision to walk the last 100 metres or risk not getting my car out of the ditch. The geodogs appreciated the free run in the bush hoping a rabbit would present itself. Found GZ very easily but it took me quite a while to retrieve the cache as I spent time admiring the cache guardian. Thought about leaving the guardian alone and move on to the next cache but where would I go. Carefully I moved the camo and the guardian calmly moved out of the way. SL #1059 on streak day #473, the listed TB was not in the cache but I left one for the next finder. TFTC
Had been eyeing this cache for quite a while. Trying to track down one elusive TB.
But alas it got away again.
It is a jungle out there

WATCH FOR SNAKES! We saw a local with one hanging off his pitch fork on the way in...
Quick find in an obvious spot, although it didn't seem to be quite where the GPS pointed.
We took a little pig, left 2 x TB's.

Nice to see an ammo box in this area. A quick find in an obvious spot. Pity there were no TB's to swap. TFTC
A nice walk through the suburban bushland.
Some people have definitely had some fun in there.

A short walk and I soon had CIH. A pity that people around here don't appreciate the local bushland. Thanks ADAcache.
Found with GG01. Nice quick find. Love this type of Cache. TFTC Fave Point Added.

The GeoWife stayed in the car while I did the 100 meter dash to collect this cache.
The locals have certainly made a mess of this area, which is a real shame.
Signed the log and replaced as found.

Arranged an early evening rendezvous with 2 Canaries in the backwoods of Box Hill. Went for a short walk along the goat track of a road and made a quick find.
No TBs or coins though!!?
Left a TB to start things off,

OH and a {FTF} on the new location!!

Is this going to be replaced?
Otherwise archive it, so the area can be reused by someone else.

Went for this Early Sat on my way to the mountains. Just as a safety cache. But at GZ looks like maybe the nearby house owners may have become curious and removed it. Could not find it where it should have been. DNF.
A DNF for me, I should have read the previous log first!!

Found a likely hide but when I lifted all the camo there was nothing underneath. Also confirmed with a PAF that I had located GZ.
11:35:00 AM, GAFF1, First find for the day on a wet Sunday morning, No problem locating the hide, took Geocoin.
SL, cache in good condition.

#1998- Out with NickoHeap and Garks, this was a pleasant short walk. Such a pity that it is used as a local dumping ground. (An expensive tip?) NickoHeap spotted this on arrival and since there we no TB's in it at all, I left one. Thanks for a regular in a sea of micro's.
Over from NZ on a little geocaching holiday.
Enjoyed touring around this area and finding caches along the way.
Soon had it located - good big container, No TB's. SL TFTC

Drive down this lonely street that turns to gravel and becomes rougher the further you travel. Gee, glad AdAcache didn't place it along too far. Might have been in for some 4WD work. Only interested in the log so didn't pick up any TB's.
Good work AdAcache, we needed a TB hotel along this stretch. SL TFTC

There was a truck parked about 40 metres down the road and I was a bit worried I'd might be seen. Waited 5 minutes when the truck drove off and I made my wasy to GZ and saw the cache. Took a couple of TB's and will move them on soon. Thanks ADA cache for the smiley.

This was our last of eight caches found today after deciding to go after a few new one's since we had a little bit of daylight left in the afternoon, after a day of cycling. But the night had fallen by the time we drove to this one. Even so, given its generous size, this one was a nice easy find. Toriaz took a coin and dropped one. Thanks

My second last cache for the day (I went on to find one more that bikerbuddy had already done). Somehow I have managed to misplace all of the torches I normally keep in the car, so we thought it would have to be the flashlight app on the phone. But then the benefits of being out of the bikes today came to me, and I retrieved a bike light .
And due to the size, this one was an easy find that didn't need super high quality torches to spot in the dark.
Nice to see a good sized trackable hotel. I swapped coins, dropping in an Albury Mega coin & taking out one that looks like a roll of film.

Working at home today I have finally been able to rush out to grab some published caches for a {*FTF*} waited until several showed up and this being the closest went and nabbed it. I was good as it now has some travelers a coin and a bug which have been with me for several months which has clocked over 20000 kms in that time. TFTC
