Thank you for putting it out! Much appreciated on a day when mum and I were looking for a good walk to do. Easy enough find
Still as per hint and really only one spot it could be, thus CIH quickly, thanks for the hide
Very pretty walk to get to it, its amazing to know that the path we took was where the old train line was! We also checked out the old train tunnel which was pretty cool.
Thanks white mushrooms for placing a cache for me to find on this leap year day.!!
After spending five geocaching hours elsewhere with two DNFs, I decided to come here after a refreshment break. Number 19 was too difficult for me and a few other earlier finders, so I walked over to 18th Ramble here. Quick find, with CIH and signed off. With TBs Canadian Flag, Swiss Duck, Pittiplatsch and Corona Express Cruise Ship in tow.
After a beautiful day out at Wentworth Falls attending the annual winter event in the Bluies, we were heading home again, but opted to start an Adventure Lab here. It was getting late in the day so we picked up only the first WP for the AL. On the way back to the car we noted two caches nearby, so the hunt for them was on.
A quick find on the track. Perhaps we'll have more time in the near future to come walk more of these tracks and explore a bit more. Alas, today the light was fading ... a downside of the winter and the short days.

Out on a bushwalking/caching day with SueDan83 in the lower blue mountains and it seems we've picked a great day for it - weather is just about perfect and company is brilliant as always. It's nice to be exploring a new patch of bush that I've never been to before.
This is our first of the day and the hint came in very handy. Found the cache in good condition, tucked away nicely ️ thanks for placing this and for bringing us here today!

A quick find here whilst walking along the track, cache is all good
Today with a day off work I decided to head out on the train to the base if the blue mountains to Glenbrook and walked down to emu plains through the reserves collecting caches here and there. On my way home I dropped off at parramatta to find the virtual here before heading back home.

This one in need of a new notebook too, only a scrap of paper as a log. Tftc
Found in a caching trip this morning, easy access, once near GZ the hiding spot was apparent. Cache needs new log. High muggle zone - lots of cyclists shredding the trails in the nice weather. TFTC.
How could I have been so dumb - hint spot on.
Thank you for the cache, never knew this place existed.

Nice little walk. Easy find. Didn’t write on log it’s boggin! Thomas street trio #3
Out today caching with Brewmaker around Glenbrook and Lapstone, and this was our second cache for the day. Parked the car nearby and then it was only a short walk towards gz. Read the hint, which helped, but there were a few places to search so it took a little while before Brewmaker spotted it hiding there. Signed the log, replaced it all as found, then back to the car and onto the next one.

Caching with oldmorty on our way down the mountains.
Just needed one more cache for the day to make it an even 10.
CIH after a short stroll along the fire trail.

OCW frazeydaze. On the way back to Sydney after a break at Blackheath we stopped off here and after a short walk we found the cache. TFTC white mushroom.
My son's team had a game against BMFC this afternoon, a lovely park for caches. Someone had built a great campout/clubhouse along the track in from Barnett St. TFTC
Easy find but couldn’t write in log as very wet. Drained out water and replaced
Fantastic series showing off a beautiful place. Log a little damp but still signable. TFTC
Found, but in need of maintenance, plastic zip lock open, moisture inside but container still sealed.
Spent the afternoon collecting information for a nearby Adventure Lab, then headed off for dinner and before heading home decided to find a few caches by torchlight. This was the first one found - ended up having to resort to the hint for this one as the GPSr was pushing us downhill and about 12m away. With the hint we were able to narrow the search area and soon had a flash of the container. The logsheet is in average condition in that it is wet, the pen just mashes the paper up, but luckily there was a pencil inside the cache which enabled us to sign the log. Cache container is still in good condition. Replaced everything as found and move on to our next target. Thanks for the cache whitemushroom.

I've done a few of these Glenbrook Ramble caches on my previous visits to the town, 8 in fact.
Its a lovely place and the walks are good.
One thing that isn't good is that the train only runs once an hour - get your act together Transport NSW and give the people up the mountains more trains!
That fact meant that after completing the new Virtual at the Information Centre I had 45 minutes before the next train so what better way to fill in the time than with another Glenbrook Ramble.
There were dozens of wonderful native birds along the track.
The co-ordinates were good and the cache was a quick find.

This cache has been on my radar for sometime now,today I finally stopped in for an enjoyable stroll up to GZ checking out the cuttings on the return back to the car.
Thanks whitemushroom for the cache

Spend a few minutes looking on the complete wrong side of the track but found it while searching the actual stone wall.

We took a day trip to Penrith, Lapstone and Glenbrook today.
We walked along the tram way and the zig zag way and have enjoyed many other nice beautiful spots
Nice landscape to explore.
We’ve also stopped multiple times along the way and solved some multi caches.
We’ve also found a virtual cache in Glenbrook Park.
Thank you all the owners for the nice caches
