Going for a drive through the forest and this cache was on the to do list. The roads are getting a bit rough and muddy through here these days so the kids were happy for the stop.
An easy find at GZ, which is an amazing spot. What a view, and an awesome seating area for our lunch. Rincewind would love it.
Thanks for showing us this awesome spot.

Gorgeously quiet spot. Enjoyed listening to the Whipbirds, Bellbirds, and , we think, a Lyrebird.
Cairn was knocked over but my kids rebuilt it.
Took crystal, shell and rubber ducky, left cow clip, ball and cup game, and footy tissue pkt. TFTC

Found with shaneo58 in the second half of winter, getting up near the 20's deg, and only needed a shirt most of the day. As we where making our way down to GZ the GPS said it was across the gully, probably interferance from the power lines, then as we get closer it tooks us back across to the GZ, where a quick find was made. This is the 10th cache of 10 for today. Log signed and caches replaced as found. Thanks For The Cache K1ngWizzzard

Bit of a mission but we got there. Great views. Co-ords about 9m off. Use geosenses at GZ. Found with Taylapearce3, GeoJess and the Mad-Dawg. TFTC!
Found on a beautiful fresh Wednesday morning while enjoying the beautiful mountains of the Central Coast and collecting a couple of caches. TFTC
Came up here today as the sky was clear and I wanted to see the View..
The TB was a Bonus
I could drive to within 300metres in 2Wd.. but 4x4 was needed to get closer..

Miss forest finder strikes again! She is on fire today. Took trackable and left another. tftc
Found with Mighty Minions. After parting ways with the_garbageman and his family, we headed back towards my car, but not without a stop here first. A short walk in and a fairly quick find.
Thanks for the walk and cache!

After grabbing the nearby Richter's caves Tombi and I decided to grab this cache on the way out. it was a short walk from the road and a quick find by Tombi at GZ . Thanks for the cache k1ngwizzzard,Deadcreeper345 tnln sl
If I believed my GPSr I would have had to go 'over the edge' to get this one, instead I found it under the second most obvious spot. Fantastic views from up here today.
Must admit I'm enjoying the old (440+km) 4WD I bought for my son for L plate fun more than I should.
He might need to look elsewhere...
This site is industrial and serene all at once - now that's a Wizard at work.
I looked lower than was needed as that's where the phone pointed but left happy.
Took the TB

Thanks for this one.
I have been 4 wheeling in this area for years way before geocaching found me. Such a nice spot to stop and enjoy the silence. Just the occasional motor bike sound in the distance. Forest was quiet today and very peaceful. Great spot
Not sure how the container will hold up in the wetter weather. But it's bone dry inside so far. Took a TB and left lots of swaps and another TB.

Came out on a bit of a four wheel drive adventure with the wife and geokids through the yarramalong valley and Kulnurra area to clean the last few stray caches off the map. This is one of roughly 60 caches that remain within 50kms of my place. Have enjoyed a 4WD through this area before and enjoyed it just as much this time. Although had to be a bit careful of some wet sandy patches and a few deep ruts. This was a good spot to place a cache. TNLN TFTC
With a bit of unexpected leave from work, I was keen to check out this new cache. The drive in was mostly okay except for a few washaways where I had to inch the Corolla very cautiously around.
Once parked at the closest approach to GZ, I set out on foot to the watchtower, wary of wizards who might suddenly appear out of the undergrowth, but they must have all been over at the beach on this hot day. Speaking of which, the air was still pretty hazy but I could just make out the power station and the nearby lake.
My GPSr initially wanted to lead me slightly beyond GZ, but after clambering down into the scrub, it then decided to point back to where I'd been, whereupon I spied an interesting rock formation and ultimately the cache.
I dropped off a TB.
Thanks for an enjoyable hide and looking forward to the next K1ngWizzzard offering.

We can never resist a cache out here. Although it was a bit of a struggle for the low riding GeoMazda, the road in was not too bad with only a couple of dodgy sections. From the parking space GZ could be seen, and there was even a sort of track out there. The view was great but very hazy, and no clue is needed for the cache, the CO has been very kind. Afterwards we drove west, but the road was quite rough with very deep ruts in one place which we somehow negotiated in the 2WD, but it was not far before the tar reappeared as we headed to the Yarramalong cafe. Thanks to to KingWizzard for loaning us your lookout, it was well worth the long drive there. I'm sorry we missed barefootjeff, we were there around 11am to noon.
There I was wrapping up my work day when my email came up and read that there was a newly published geocache! I called little Roo and told her to be prepared as soon as I got home she was at the ready with the geobag around her shoulder we made our way to the cache. this proved to be an interesting journey indeed, winding roads up hill, down hill, the car tilting this way, then tilting that way until at last we made it close enough. We pulled over the car and commando rolled out smashing our way through the bush one hand on the GPS and the other hand with fingers crossed. We found an interesting rock formation surely made by wizard magic with the most amazing view. This was a great spot!! we put pen to paper and signed the log *FTF* TFTC
*FTF*yipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! beautiful view great hike did a HAPPY DANCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TFTC
