Im at GZ but cant put my hands on it due to my physical disabilities. Visiting from USA Lovely view and area. Have trail to myself this Monday morning

Sunday funday! We got up early and headed to Jordon Springs for breakfast. It was quite nice and one of the yummiest mochas I have had in a while. After that we met up with our friends (fitzy_1965, minniek, Joolay, contesta, Flintstones, Aquilus1 and sacada) to cache up to Katoomba and back.The day had its good points and bad:Good - great company, fabulous views, amazing places, finding caches and fantastic food. Bad - too many muggles, AL and Geocaching App meltdown. So frustrating!We found a handful of caches and got back to Penrith for an awesome dinner at Ros Niyom which was so delicious and the staff amazingly attentive. Not hard though, as we were the only ones there - everyone else was probably watching the NRL Penrith v Storm (Penrith won). We did a few caches on the way home after dinner before the roads got busy with very happy residents. This cache: what a spectacular spot in the world this is. Loved being here. Tftc!!!

Magnificent views. Day 2 is heading up to the Blue Mountains to have a look around.Up with a group from Canberra running around the Penrith area. Signing as CPI24. for Canberra Penrith Invasion.Thanks for getting me out and about Team SWAG

A cache trip to Penrith and the Blue Mountains with a large group from Canberra, signing with CPI24. A number of caches planned and others added on the fly.

Doing a bit of a day trip checking out the sights and a few caches, loving the views TFTC

What a thrilling cache this was in the driving wind! Little mate found it and little Miss got a bull ant bite as a souvenir. Weve taken Woodstock with us and well drop him in another cache (after a bath!). TFTC! (Spoilers in pic!)

The canyons of these mountains were deep and beautiful, and the nature was amazing. For us from Europe, every plant and animal is new and unknown.Thanks for the placing this geocache and the work associated with it. All geocaches have led us to many nice places.Greetings from Brno the Czech Republic.

Cool find :

Cool find! TFTC

Bit of a scary find but such a great find

Edgy find but so cool !! And eagles find the edge

a bit scary.. looks like someone split their head open lol. prob just natural (I HOPE)

also terrain should be a 3

Found while foggy. Couldn't see the views unfortunately but a fun find

Nice night find after MYC24.

This one was for Eski

Geocaching in sydney, brisbane and anywhere in between, together with the 2 F's. TFTC

Found it. Not scary at all. The 2 Fs from The Netherlands. TFTC

Staying at the campsite for a couple of nights, so we went for a walk to grab a couple of caches.Thanks for placing.

Log needs replacing, and needs a new seal on lid as it's missing but loved the walk down thanks

a super quick grab as the thunder rolled in. amazing views of the rain were gonna try to avoid TFTC!

Saw a pair of black cockatoos just after finding this cache, so my day was made.And we saw the rain getting ever closer...

Thanks for hiding the cache and many greetings from Austria!

Another gobsmacking view. Theyre everywhere!

Thanks team swag!

TFTC

what a lookout!everywhere i seem to go around here there's a great view. this one gave the perspective of narrowneck's inner side. this spot would be great to watch the phantom falls from. when i first arrived in katoomba a handful of days ago, i spied this one and another that were almost from a different era ago. so this almost two decade old geostash had to go onto the must visit list.had a gander around first before hunting down the stash, unfortunately discovered it strewn around ala the attached photo. put everything back and sat a bit to try and dry things. signed anywhere i could.tucked it back from where i assume its been mismanaged. bad lyrebird, bad.thanks for choosing such an awesome spot to hide a box waaaay back when, and keeping it alive for us all to keep finding. huzzah!

At first I thought no way I gonna find these with out falling down the Kliff but than it was pretty nice, thanks allot great cache

Beautiful lookout, I wouldn't have been there if not for the cache so thank you Team SWAG

Done. Greetings from Prague! TFTC

Geohubby (GeoTigerAce) and I are headed off on a 4 week holiday from Brisbane heading to Canberra, Parkes, Katoomba, Sydney, Melbourne, Ballarat, Dubbo, and Coonabarabran as our main stops, with lots of side stops along the way planned. A much needed road trip to take in the sites and spend some time away in nature.Over the course of our 4 weeks I wanted to focus on Australia's 'oldest' caches, and caches of interest (e.g., iconic locations, interesting locations, lots of favourite points, and places I have never been) as well as hitting my next milestone (#600). It has been a wonderful trip and we have seen so much, and spent a lot of time caching and exploring little places of interest.Thanks to all of the cache owners for maintaining these caches and bringing us to beautiful places on our travels, and challenging us to keep on looking at the world just a little bit differently. Lots of memories have been made.Day 10: TripCache #44: GeoHubby's Birthday! Unfortunately we spent the morning at the dentist trying to find a solution to the broken tooth problem (Fantastic dentist in Katoomba fixed it!). We then grabbed some lunch and headed down to Echo Point. Hubby had never been here, and it had been a long time since I had. Such stunning views - different to what I remember as a child - but I think more impressive as an adult.Another great cache in this area. It has been lovely spending time here. All good at GZ, log signed and replaced. TFTC.

On a road trip holiday with CaptainKirky. On this part of the holiday we are around Katoomba Lookout area. After lunch at the lookout we thought we would grab a few caches including this one. What a great view with a find. Please be carefully of your footing when looking for this find.

TFTC! Beautiful area.

Found. Wonderful views. Log signed

After doing the scenic railway and skyway came to find this one. Now to climb up. At least it’s not too far

Found

990 for the tribe

Second day of our Katoomba trip saw us make the find on this retro cache, together with some friends who were also here today, some who were caching for the first time. Great cache, great memories of MKC 2004, great views, have another FP team SWAG.

Found it

Amazing view! Beautiful place for a cache. Loaded with swag and dropped a tb

Great location. Love the lookout points. I feel the terrain rating could be a little higher. Easy to find though when activation geo-senses and intuition. Another good cache on my brief visit to the Blue Mts. TFTC!

A Nice lookout

A beautiful and stunning area overlooking the Jamison Valley. Thanks for the excuse to visit this incredible area. TFTC

TFTC.

Left a bat-a-rang and took Gargomel. Tftc. Bit of exercise on a weekday morning.walked over it and saw it retracing sreps.

Great catch, easy catch amazing view TFTC.

Some one in front whom we know.

Tftc.

Short walk form the scenic road... Breathtaking view from this location.
Unfortunately we forgot the pens in the car.

We were here - Joodie & Joodax
after work walk, wine and relax!
Team SWAG Thanks for the cache and yellow dandelion.

So today turned out to be a very nice day. It didn't rain . We directed it to the Blue mountains, to Katoomba and it was great. We basically spent the whole day hanging around the Three Sisters viewpoints. Here you can see how little is enough for a person to be happy .
We wanted to go around the LAB and catch the bonus cache, but there was a helicopter flying with material all day and all the view points around the falls were closed. So we got in the car and continued along the overlooks towards Cahills Lookout.
So here is the view, sir. I have to share here about FitiPaldi ️️️
******************************************************
Tak dnes se vydařil tuze pěkný den. Nepršelo totiž . Nasměrovali jsme si to do Blue montains, do Katoomby a bylo to skvělé. Celý den jsme se v podstatě plácali kolem vyhlídek na Tři sestry. Tady je vidět, jak málo člověku stačí ke štěstí .
Chtěli jsme obejít LAB a odlovit bonusovou keš, ale celý den tu létal vrtulník s materiálem a všechny view pointy kolem vodopádů byly zavřené. Tak jsme nasedli do auta a pokračovali po výhledech směrem na Cahills Lookout.
Tady je teda panečku výhled. Musím se tady podělit o FitiPaldi ️️️

From Czechia with love!

Found while visiting the beautiful Blue Mountains area from the Hunter Valley.
Took a while of searching...and then I looked and there it was.
TFTC

What a location and view
Well worth the short walk
TFTC

Tftc fun find little off coordinates

No views for us today - a stunning shade of white!!

Easy found, thank you, greetings from Switzerland.

Found during our visit to the blue mountains. Fantastic view and great hide. Fav awarded.

Thanks for placing and maintaining the cache

Was riding back to the campground and decided to stop in and get this one since no one was around. Yesterday I did attempt but there was a couple close to gz. Today I was just signing the log and a group of people arrived. Its a busy little spot. Thanks for placing this cache

Took advantage of sunny skies by spending the day in the Blue Mountains. Glad to finally spend time in this area after having to postpone due to poor weather throughout the school holidays. Thanks to all Cache Owners for their caches.

An easy find in a logical spot. Fantastic views here. TFTC

Find find cool spot with a nice views

Great spot with incredible views.

TFTC. What a stunning and peaceful place. Great hide.

Thought I knew the area and got Miss 9 to wriggle herself to retrieve it. Quite eerie today, so much fog, not rain though.

Catching up on old logs, thanks Team SWAG for the great cache. I really enjoyed the drive around this beautiful area.

Found it in the bush.
Moved it under a rock where it should be stable now.

Tftc!

Contents are soaked. Pen is leaking I think
Needs new log

T4tc. Nice afternoon activity. The cache was in a bush I think it may have been under the rock previously. Have not moved it from the bush.

Found a good spot at gz, but no luck

Found a while ago, logging now.
Was in the beautiful Blue Mountains so stopped along the the way to find a few caches.
No hint, grrr, but the cache was exposed.
Another beautiful view!
TFTC

No luck today. Everywhere was wet and slippery. If it was closer to the edge I wasn't going there. GZ was boucing around

L

Nice

This one was needed for my jasmer grid and I saw that Seanso had just replaced the container by the logbook was in need of a new one. Bought one with me today in a sturdy ziplock bag and replaced. Inside the cache was a bit wet. There was fog all through the valley so oh didn’t appreciate the view which must be amazing from here TFTC

Found! Needs to be replaced though still all wet

Found. However needs maintenance as log is saturated. Did not have materials to rectify on me.
Will return next weekend and rectify if not already

I’d scouted this one before my half day trip to the Blueys, I saw the cache container was in dire straits, I also saw it was originally placed back in 2004 so had to keep this one going, cache container replaced but desperately needs a fresh log book. Tftc

Very wet couldn't sign your logbook

The container is busted. There is no lid. Everything is soaking wet. We have positioned it under a rock in a cave-like spot so it has some protection but it really needs a new container.

Yep it was drenched. I had no replacement with me.

On our way back from the Narrow Neck plateau we did a quick stop to find this. The wind was so strong thanks for the hint we didn't went to close from the cliff.
At GZ quick find. No lid on the container. Log book wet. Maybe the next cacher can grab a new container and a new logbook. We didn't have anything in our bag.
TFTC

Enjoyed a nice afternoon walk down to the lockout and spotted two black cockatoos nearby having a chat. Once they flew off we proceeded to GZ and made a quick find. With the cache in hand, we signed the log before replacing it as found. The container and log are in poor condition and in need of some TLC. Thanks for the cache Team SWAG.

Found the lid first the had a quick look around and found the container appears the lid has been smashed and the contents is a bit water damaged but beautiful scenery

Only a lis

Beautiful spot! Container lid only though

Found the lit also but container with content is gone...anyway nice place thanks

Tento hráč oznámil poškození schránky.

Aw found this cache but it’s just a lid to a container still cool! But nothing to write in!

Thanks

Container broken

We loved this cache and the view was fantastic! The container will need to be replaced though. TFTC!

Lid was broken off of the cache, definitely needs some TLC. Beautiful lookout and nice walk though!
