On my way to the blue mountains for a midweek caching trip. Only a few caches on the way. Then in the Mountains was all over the place between Lawson and Lithgow. Well last minute change after all those puzzles solved last night, I also had to detour via Portland.TFTC Wilbert67
TFTC! Found with the Lithgow Girl Guides on a nighttime adventure. Very sneaky cache!
Like the previous finder, looked in all the wrong places. Should have trusted and have move faith in the GPS. Nice lake though, but no fishing for me
We enjoyed the walk around this dam. Unfortunately at GZ we spent too long looking in the wrong places before finally looking in the right place. Such is caching. TFTC Billo4951
#7293-What a beautiful area to be out exploring on a cool morning with thomo31. Finally spotted the tiny cache, as she listened for gang gangs. Thanks, it was good to come here!
Found with WaywardWoman on a trip to Portland. With info on how to access the path, we wandered to GZ. Chatted to a local who told me where some birding places are. As he headed on, we found the cache. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
Headed out with a plan to clear all the Portland caches from my map. Unfortunately it was too hot to get them all done today but I had a good crack. We'll be back when it's not so hot to finish the missions. Nice walk to GZ. Made a quick find but again my stamp doesn't fit on these logs and I didn't have a pen.TFTC
Thanks Billo. It was a bit tricky today because of the number of people fishing here.
Fairly quick find.Right side under bridge.Very pretty location. Lots of people fishing but I didn't see any catches.Spending a few days at Lake Wallace with good friends breaking in our new van.Lots of laughs turning Portland into smilies. Considering that we just moved back from Portland Oregon!Tftc

FOn an overcast Tuesday before Easter Irondale and I went out caching to grab some of the new Portland editions. We had not solved the jigsaws so that will be another forage. In an hour and a half we had found all six caches. Thanks for placing these ones. I'm giving this one a FP, not for the cache itself but for bringing me to a cool area I had never explored before. We parked behind the church and walked down for the loop of the lake and it rained the whole way on us. Interestingly it stopped raining as soon as we got to the car.

A really pretty spot.
Found this about 11 metres from where the GPS wanted me today.
Easy access from S33 21.120 E149 59.643

Couldn’t find a way in and I’m not prepared to jump the high cyclone fence.
I’d suggest the CO add a waypoint for entry as it’s not helpful to the caching community.
After messaging the CO, he did respond, but I was well on my way out of town

Liked this one. Jumped the back fence of the church on the corner and walked the 260 odd metres to gz. Didnt know you could get in here. The whole fence along the perimeter, kept saying no entry. Once at gz a quick find. Signed and replaced. Tftc. Fav point.
Nice to get a local FTF. Coordinates are slightly out. Stay on the western side. TFTC.
