Thanks for this cache. Nice to go bush in our own suburb. The cache was lying exposed, I suspect a native animal was caching. Placed it back where we think it should be.

Find #: 2,007
Companions: None
Muggles: One passed by just before my search
Weather: Hot summer's morning
Cache condition: Good

I decided to go for a jog and explore a new suburb. After DNF'ing Falls Creek I backtracked onto the main path and was soon at GZ. I soon had CIH - TNLNSL, before continuing on along the track. Thanks for the cache, lovely area.

Nice quick find on a big walk around the area after doing some bush regeneration in pidding reserve. Tftc tnln
 
13-Jul-18
Today we headed over to East Ryde to continue with our short walk and "park & grab" cache hunting, and to collect some solved puzzle caches. This was the 5th of 15 finds for the day.

After completing the nearby Multi we continued along the bush track (Wellington Road) to this one. It's always interesting finding these old ruins buried in the bush, and it didn't take long to uncover the hide at what's left of this old homestead. Signed the log, swapped a toy bird whistle (out) for two coloured dominos (in), then replaced exactly as found. TFTC JordsAU.

Find #2646

Located at 6:57pm. After quickly knocking over three more in the Cressy Connection series, I decided to take a bit of walk for this one. Lovely tranquil bushland surrounding me with the sun glinting through the trees and a peaceful breeze. Made a quick find at GZ. Cheers JordsAU! Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Nice easy cache, thanks JordsAU!

I was passing through this area and wanted to put a smiley on this cache that i should have done when I did Cressy connection #5 and Wellington Depot back in March. I parked the Geomobile as near as a could and set out for the walk along the track to get to GZ. The cache was found after a short search, I completed the formalities and returned the cache as found.

Find: 438
9th of 12 finds for today

A few hours for geocaching in East Ryde. Today an interest series of caches around the Fields of Mars, which turned out to be a large cemetery.
I walked around the large cemetery, ending up at a nice field with some good views over the area. Strangely there was a chair placed on a platform. The cache was found in good order.

Walked down the track and arrived at GZ. With the grass wet and long used the hint and made a quick find. The log was signed and the cache was replaced as found. Thank you JordsAu for placing this cache.

Apologies for the late log
Thank you for the cache

Hot, hot, hot!
It was a scorching 33 degrees as we walked down this path. Trying to catch every bit of shade we could.
Such a hot day to be geocaching but we are on holiday so only had this day to do it!

A nice quick find once at GZ. It's an interesting location, I wonder what was here on the concrete... hmm.

Thanks!

Had fallen out, replaced it.

Out geoCaching with the missus on this windy public holiday. Had just completed the nearby multi so decided to continue along the path. Grass was quite long and dry around GZ and we were cautious in case of slithery friends. Used phones to spy into dark places but then found container out in the open. SL and replaced in a spot more in tune with the hint.

Time was disappearing quickly and even though I'd planned to do many more caches in the area, it wasn't to be. So I figured that I was so close to this one that I should be able to squeeze it in. Walked on from Wentworth Depot and, thanks to the hint, spotted exactly where to look and had the CIH in seconds. Log is damp and full, certainly needs a replacement. Will certainly come back to this area to explore more in the near future. Thanks JordsAu.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Came in the easy way after finding the nearby multi. This gets a FP for taking me to a pleasant little meadow after doing all my bushwacking today
 
11-Dec-15
Easy find after some bushbashing getting here. Thanx.
 
16-Nov-15
Nice easy cache. Decided to pick this one up along the way to the puzzle cache further along the path.
 
08-Nov-15
A quick and easy find today thanks. Wonder what used to be on top of the concrete slab?
 
30-Oct-15
Fell for the empty tub too, removed it so it won't confuse anyone else. Always get the chills sticking my hand into dark places to find caches in Australia, way too many creepy crawlies and snakes here lol.
Nice cache and quite a trek through the woods to get to it. TFTC
 
07-Oct-15
Completely overgrown couldn't find it
 
07-Oct-15
Found it, after a bit of a hunt around
 
19-Sep-15
We can picture the old homestead here. Must have been very peaceful. When we arrived at GZ we pretty well guessed where to look but were almost put off by a lidless empty Sistema container nearby. It's not the geocache! SL TFTC Cheers.... Gaztek
 
19-Sep-15
This was really easy. Unfortunately that is with hindsight as I started off looking for a nano, then got distracted by a sistema before making the find.

TFTC.

I came here early this morning before the rain hit. Went down the dirt track at the end of the cemetery on my bike, was suspecting a pretty even dirt-road surface. suddenly I was faced with uneven clay rocks in my path, hit the breaks but my bike slid and tumbled over and I went flying. Nothing like a rough start to geohunting, am I right. Found the cache pretty easily, was a nice little secluded spot I never knew about despite living nearby. Thanks for bringing me here, Jords.

6374 Caches Found

Headed back down the thin black line again early this morning along with hordes of commuters and tradies all heading South for work I suppose (Poor silly beggars). Had to get the Geo Truck serviced and registered for the trek North to Stanthorpe for the Mega. And not being one to waste a chance maybe pickup a few caches along the way. Entered through The Field of Mars Cemetery walked down the track past all the high rise apartments. Great little spot thanks for bringing me here

Thanks for the adventure

Thanks for the great Cache JordsAU(8D)

Straight forward quick find. Interesting history.

Had to get the gloves on and use a stick just in case.

We were marvelling at the fact that we are more or less in the centre of Sydney and yet there is this fairly expansive bushland that nobody seems to come through.

Thanks for the cache!

Came in via the cemetery, but realised there was a better way through :p. Younger geoson found it quite quickly. Tftc.

One of the geokids found it as I was attending to a vicious bull ant sting of geokid #1 at a previous geocache!
 
23-Dec-14
Found with cousins from UK whilst on a bushwalk to the Buffalo Park
 
20-Dec-14
A little bit of night caching in the area finished here. There was a Millbury cottage in Coomassie St (now Coxs rd) in 1899, probably between Cressy Rd and Pittwater Rd.
The NLA has several photos taken in and around "Millsbury" too ....

Seeking the challenge we usually go for higher rated caches but we did need this d/t combo for our second pass. We also felt like a nice walk and that's what we got. Thanks JordsAU!

Cool finds

We decided to do some geocaching on foot after dropping our geocar for a service in Buffalo Rd. We had to walk a lot more than I thought and was very tired in the end.

Third cache for today.
Easy find. I dropped off a flying toy.
Log was full. Needs a new log.
