Found reasonably quickly. The inside is a bit damp but the logbook was easy to sign. TFTC
A quick visit by Jack pirate. The treasure is in wonderful condition ready for pillaging.
Hidden gem of a bush track. Gorgeous towards sunset. Many caves and then there it was. TFTC
PS Watch out for the illegal 4WDs- - an unwanted find.

It's always easy once you find it! Checked the wrong cave initially then located the right cave. Nice walk through the bush. TFTC
Aarrrrrrgh me hearties! I found the hidden treasure where 'X' marks the spot. No gold doubloons, but a nice little bushwalk made it worth the while. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC Jack Pirate
A sparkling day for a walk to this cache. Only a handful of muggles sighted and the secret of the Seven Seas Lighthouse is still safe. Only a pirate could hide this container so well! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Beautiful walk in to this cache. Thanks Jack Pirate for the experience TNLNSL. The 4Rods.
So many spots it could be, GPS a little off but found it after a bit of searching! Good rears after a nice 5 walk
A post work walk to an unloved COVID-19 free cache 
The track was pretty boggy in areas but doable. There are soooo many likely spots at GZ it took me a long time to find. Cache is in great nick. TFTC !

My family and I were going shopping in the Belrose Super Centre so we stopped to find this cache.
Pleasent walk to gz. Great views on the way with some nice wildlife.
Once at gz we made the easy find even though there were many possible hiding spots.
Visited some trackables and took some photos.
TNLNSL, replaced and walked back to the car.
Thanks for showing me this nice walk and location.

A quick visit by Jack Pirate on a bountiful autumn day. The treasure is in excellent condition, the bush having grown back well after we the back burning.
Seems like a waste of a perfectly good road; there must be a story there. I enjoyed the walk and running into several magnificent black cockatoos on the way back. A good find and it was pleased to see me after 9 lonely months. Thanks CacheAccepted, JackPirate
TFTC!
Decided a daylight savings evening walk was needed... this cache fit the bill perfectly. Enjoyed the walk. Beautiful area.
Will be back for a ride. Looks like some good tracks around here.

Well that is one of the worst pieces of road in suburban Sydney that I have driven on! Couldn't get as far up the road as I would have liked as the gate was closed but on the good side that meant the geomobile waited for me under a shady tree.
What beautiful bushland!
Lots of wildflowers coming into bloom and lots of small birds flitting around them.
The track was in good condition and easy to follow straight to GZ, with a very small detour into the bush at the end. The GPS led me right to the hide. SL and replaced as found then walked back on a different track to the geomobile.

Thanks little Pirate.......enjoyed a lovely walk to GZ this morning
It’s a really lovely area, I’m keen to see how it develops given the MasterPlan for this area.
Once at GZ there were plenty of hidey holes but it didn’t take long to spot the correct one

I needed to take a load to Kimbriki, and decided that earned me a quick cache, also allowing me to take advantage of the lovely weather. I parked closer than the suggested spot but not as close I had wanted to (the gate was shut), leaving me a 650m walk along pleasant bush tracks, albeit with a few large puddles to traverse. Once at GZ I made a quick find (TNLNSL), then walked back enjoying the valley views through the trees. TFTC

On the way home after a busy day caching around the Spit and Manly. Checking out one of the WPs for Navigators Nightmare was added incentive to make the detour. I'm guessing there were plans to establish a suburb here. I wonder what happened. Followed the track towards GZ. Here the iPhone was indecisive and I had to make a right/left choice as there were too likely areas that matched the hint. Unfortunately, I took the wrong option first, so I searched a little longer than necessary but eventually had CIH and SL.

Nice little find. Popular day in the trail. Saw mountain bikers and another caching clan. Nice to see a bit of green starting to come back after the bushfire. TFTC
Visited with Jack pirate at dust.. No s-mugglers seen en route. Replaced container and log book. Will drop of old log book once dried out.

TFTC. The box is damaged from the large fire that went through there in Feb so will need replacing. The log paper was also wet.
Fun cache to find along a lovely walk path.

The area around GZ represents a burnt moonscape since recent burn backs, subsequently the treasure has taken on a cheese on toast appearance. I believe everything is still operational as long as the container goes back well under cover.
It's certainly got more character now, and is easier to find from the path.
Please place the container back upside down.

#2667 (1 of 6 today) (Streak day 267)
Decided to plunder an area I haven't cached in before. Of course this means that there are quite a few caches to choose from today.
In the end I went for seven and found six. Interestingly the cache I expected not to find was all safe and sound.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
First up, another bush walk.
Having done two bush walks yesterday I started today with another. And why not!
Parked a little past the recommended spot and immediately found the trail. The trail was a bit wet in a few spots. One in particular was a pool, but fortunately a small trail had been blazed around it.
Approaching GZ, the question was how to approach. A few ledges around so needed to keep my eyes open.
In the end, I decided the best approach was to go past it and work my way back via the bush.
With the iPhone reading 10 metres I saw a spot that looked likely. Being on the edge of the likely search area, I decided it was worth a look.
CIH!
Well, that was easy.
Completed signing duties and replaced.
A few too many trees for a stunning vista unfortunately.

Geodaughter was attending a birthday party nearby so the geodoggie and I went caching. It was a bit warm but still nice to be out amongst it. Doggie enjoyed cooling off in the many dirty puddles along the way. At GZ I searched in many wrong locations - I have found a few 2 Dogs caches recently and they usually go for the best lookout. Whereas here I should have obeyed the GPSr which like a lighthouse directed me to where I needed to be.

As othesr have done I parked at the second gate and had a nice little walk out to GZ. It took a while for the GPSr to settle, so I wasted some time in the wrong locations, until....a simple hide really, no more than 15m off the track.
Sadly we couldn't find it. We walked up and down and around all rocks within the vicinity - but other than an enormous spidey, no cache. A lovely bush walk though!!
After a successful FTF on the nearby 'Belrose Tree of Knowledge', came to get this one at night. Not really having planned to make a nocturnal bush walk, I didn't bring any spare batteries for my headlamp. It was gradually getting dimmer as the metres crept down - I was hoping for a quick find once we got there.
When I spotted a suspicious location, I asked Mouse90 if she wanted to do the honours of searching - but apparently this is Gobbledock territory, and she wasn't prepared to take the risk After confirming the area was safely clear, she made the find.
Then on the walk back turned off the headlamp, and navigated by moonlight and a shared torch. I managed to only tread in the one puddle.
P.S I reckon this should be t2 - enough of a walk, and a bit off trail.

Thank you Jack Pirate for this cache! It is a very nice cave for kids. Being a big kid I managed to stick my head in and grab the cache It is a lovely area and a beautiful night. I took the trackable and intend on giving it a nice new location (not too sure where yet although I liked Chudles suggestion that I return it to Hamburg, Germany!) My internal GPS failed me on the return trip to the car! Chudles head light failed him on the return trip to the car and he landed in a puddle! Well done Mr Pirate

Went with samjamcam and my mum and found her first geo cache! Thanks Jack the Pirate!
On my way back from Oxford Falls I took the opportunity to pick up the three relatively new caches in the Belrose area. This was the third. I tried following the new parking coords but found that you could easily stop at the new gates some 150m past the parking spot and walk down the road then turn right onto the track. A few twists and turns and in less than ten minutes I was at GZ. Followed my nose rather than the pointer leaving the track and made a quick find. Signed log and took a GC for a possible visit to North America. Replaced and got back on track, a minute or two later I had two MTBers coming the other way so I was off the track for their passing.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Dropped off "Geo-Milestones - 100 Finds", discovered on my recent trip to Wales.
==== Parking WP changed ====
It looks like the dirt road to the original (closer) parking spot has been closed off to cars, perhaps to stop kids in 4x4s tearing it up. I have moved the parking WP which has extended the walk to GZ by around 500M.

We followed what seems to be a forgotten road to nowhere, and parked close to where it ended. Up along the track, where we met a few other people out and about on a sunny Saturday. Further and further into the forest, until finally the GPS said that we should leave the track.
Found the cache well hidden, and in good shape.
Took TB Little Panda and dropped TB New Zealand-Hamburg

Well someone's got a big TV set on the other side of the valley. Nice walk through a tunnel of bushes. Would be perfect for biking. TFTC

We saw this new cache, and 2 others, pop up yesterday at the same time as our own new cache (GC5REP3 Cootamundra) was being published, but we were too busy with other commitments to go out for a look. So today we headed out to Belrose for some caching and this was the 3rd, and last, on our list.
Drove down Ralston Ave which, after passing the intersection at Elm Ave, is in rather poor condition with lots of water filled pot holes. Parked the geomobile at the most convenient trackhead S33 43.590 E151 11.998 and headed off down the track to GZ.
Arrived at GZ and started searching. After checking in this one, then that one, and the next one, we finally spotted it. Nice bit of camo on the cache, a bit "sticky" but all good Our GPSr (Garmin 62s) was indicating S33 43.413 E151 11.976 ( 6 metres from published coords) at the hide.
Thanks CacheAccepted & JackPirate for the nice bushwalk, and the new cache.
