Forgotten Railway #1 Glenbrook, New South Wales, Australia
By Webguy Jnr on 26-Sep-04. Waypoint GCKMZP

Thanks to all for doing this cache, a new cache has just been submitted to replace it.

I'll disable this one till I can confirm that it is gone.

This should have been find number 5 for pjmpjm has I had found this one a year ago. However my memory is not what it was in my younger days, so had only a vague recollection of the cache location.
We did find a likely spot that did feel familiar, but no cache all the camouflage material was there but nothing else.
Whether I am remembering it wrong I am not sure, but all 3 of our GPSr agreed we were within 1 metres of the published coords.
Amazing view from here, that I do remember!
Thanks for a reason to come back to this great spot.

Investigated this one together with rogerw3 during an afternoon of trig hunting (and geocaching) in the lower Blue Mountains.

rogerw3 had already logged this cache within the past two years, so watched as I found the clifftop GZ without too much difficulty. And what a marvelous view!

I enjoyed the panorama while checking out various possible hiding spots, and then found just the right place -- which also happened to be 'spot on' the published coordinates. But behind the 'camo' there was nothing! rogerw3 was inclined to think that this was the place where he'd found the cache in the past. So it was disappointing, to say the least.

We looked for a while longer, and spiraled out from GZ, checking less likely nooks and crannies. But nothing turned up.

Will send a photo to the CO to see if this was in fact the hiding place.

Anyhow, we found other caches in the area and had a great walk and great views out over the Nepean.

Caching with Garry today, and only one GPS between the two of us.
As my GPS is out of action [=(]
A bit of a walk off the track, but an easy find none the less.
Thanks for the cache Team Webguy.

Caching with 92nty6 this morning. Second cache for the day, well hidden and cache all ok.

Took TB "Lokeren Belgium"

Tks ... Team Webguy ... GazMag

lovely day, nice view!
TFTC, found with benny.t

Nice views from this spot. TFTC

Left TB. TFTC

This was a nice spot with great views of the gorge/valley. At first I thought it was over the cliff, but then mum pointed out the contour lines and we quickly found the location and the cache. Keep up the good work! TFTc [^][^][^][^][^][^][^][^]

Our third for today, with great views of the gorge. We decided to continue on from Dark's Hollow to pick this one up. Garks loved the spot. Gave him a lesson in reading contour lines, as at first he thought it was over the cliff. TFTC

This was the second cache we found today. Was going for 4 but ended up with 2. Was still a wonderful day spent walking through Dark Common. The views from GZ were amazing! Thanks for bringing us out here. SL, TFTC.

I found this cache in the heat of the summer but forgot to log my find. This was an awesome treck with some great views. The photos i found reminded me to log my find and share with you the views and the history. TFTC. RELO Family.

Wow, what fantastic views. I've never been out to this part of the Mountains before, except for passing through much lower down on the train.

I was lucky with my timing today - found the cache, hit the 'found' button on the GPSr & had it turn off on me due to low battery level. Looked in my bag for spare batteries & found I only had one spare, not the two required. Luckily it had waited until then to die on me .

Took the TB, left a geocoin.

Thanks Webguy Junior.

Found with TeamBooo thanks

Took TB

Just on sun set what a view thanks

Great walk awesome views
TFTC

Great views from cache location. TFTC!

Found it with Geoson. A lovely spot. Took 'Big Dawgs & a Jeep'. [sorry for the late posting]

Webguy Junior, what a great cache, Thanks. The view of the railway tunnel is great from up here. Travelled the train through this tunnel many times but this is a better view. Took Mini-Cache Geocoin and left a Jeep 4x4 TB from USA that has been 'off the grid' for some time. Photo attached. TFTC.

Awesome cache, such a nice walk and view. Never been here, lived nearby for ages TFTC

Log Book is now full. Needs a new log book

Not planning to geocache today, but nearby those lookouts and known this bit of bushland from previous bushwalks, I quickly jogged thought the track to find this one. Found very quickly, signed log, TNLN, than jogged back to the car and away I went. This really is beautiful bushland with excellent views. I'll come back later to do the nearby Multi but take my time with it and enjoy the wonderful surroundings and bring the camera as well. TFTC

Took a nice easy stroll late this evening along the old tramway route. A very easy and nice walk at this time of the evening, still quite warm too.

Replaced the logbook, PLEASE, write on both sides of pages, the logbook will last longer then

Paths very overgrown. Had to bush bash in. Too tough for 5 and 3 year old. Great location and views.

On way to the Blue Mountain - Blackheath..for the night
stop here to find the cache.. wow... beautiful view here..
saw the train carraiges past from the top.
Thanks for bring me here with friends.

first attempt to find a geocache. Success with me and 4 boys.

Great little cache, lovely location. I loved the short walk there and back. I will return in the future and explore this area in depth. Took nothing, left Yowie, Olympic pin and signature Pathtag.
Thank you Webguy Jnr for a great reason to come here.

A great walk. I never knew this existed. TFTC.

A beautiful walk that despite having grown up here I didn't know existed. TFTC.

I loved this location. I have been to Glenbrook many times, walking and mountainbiking, but this is a completely angle. Just as we were arriving a goods train passed by. Sweet.

Found with Muzbot and MTB Safari . Took TB

Found with MTB Safari, Sniffme and a mate. Just before the rain came.

Nice walk to a spot with great views. Interesting history. Thanks for bringing us to such a place.
TNLN.

The railway history associated with the immediate area is extremely interesting. Thanks for including this in your documentation, Webguy Jnr.The views are amazing. It was an enjoyable search.

Awesome views grandchild was excited when she found it TFTC Took slinky left pigs.

Great little part of Glenbrook/Lapston. Awsome lookout. Thanx guys !

This was a nice bit of therapy after completing TRI-VIEW. Easy to find the correct path and spotted it straight away. Great views. I've lived in Springwood for 15 years and never thought to come out here. Thanks for the cache and bringing me here. I left the TB because I wasn't sure I could help him with his mission.

Happy Australia Day.
After having visited the celebrations at Glenbrook decided to do a little geocaching. This was an easy find and the walk had some spectacular views. Left lock and TB Tractor. TFTC

I got this one while doing TRIView 1. It was entered as a waypoint in my GPS and almost walked over it. In the end I gave up on TRIView because I was on my bike and I didn't want to leave it with all the muggles around.
TNLN TFTC

Just logging TB trough from previos find.

great views, second cache for the day (and ever). Very very hot, fantatsic views down the valley and over the tracks. Took Purple Dog, left harmonica. TFTC

Was a really hot day today took geo daughter and son in law on their first hunt today this is their second for the day. Great cache with wonderful views took purple dog left a harmonica. we enjoy the family's caches TFTC thanks webguy jnr for a great day.

TFTC. Nice views over the creek. Left a trackable item there and took the Fish.

Nice walk out there, saw 2 trains, and was pretty late at night.
Really good echo point, hope we didn't wake anyone up.
Sat here and admired the views for a little.
Thanks.

#5 was a nice find, thanks for the views. Took mb porsche, left mb quadbike.

Lots of tiny birds (finches?) around this day. Enjoyed the views. Thanks.

This is a great view of the valley & thanks for the history of this area. It should be noted that travel bug isn’t in this cache. TFTC / TNSL

Beautiful views, First ever cache. Great fun.

What lovely views here. And easy parking.

Petty easy find a nice spot tosit and contemplate the world.

Terrific spot around here, a beautiful gorge. Cache hidden well but found easily enough. Took Mickey Rat and left a shopping trolley token
Relogged as instructed by Groundspeak, originally as devware.

Terrific Cache! Our second for the day and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks Webguy!

Found by Kali. The gorge was just beautiful, clear blue skies. Hot.

TFTC. Great opportunity to try out my new GPSr. Took one bug and left one behind!

a little wet after the rain but a gr8 geocache

Great Views top Geocache!! left Everlasting firefighters Fire Geocoin, took nothing, Forgot to sign log book as was distracted by a passing train. Will have to return in the near future to sort it out. Thanks

What a great view of the Glenbrook Gorge, and the goods trains rolling through were the icing on the cake. TNLNSL, TFTC

A revist to supervise GeoSon who did the finding. Looks like he has the tracking ability of a blood hound as he went straight to it without any help from me. Dropped off Kiwi Surfer and picked up Geotag 510911 and SD card box. TFTC.

Found it. Took nothing and left nothing. Great view.

Found it thanks

Really good vies from here and a good indication too of just how keen they were to put that railway through! Thanks Webguy jnr for putting a cache here.

a really cool spot and we were lucky enough to see a train go by while we were there. Left Koala took Geocoin. Thank you for bringing us here today. A joint find logged for geokid and geodad. But not the type that the local kids have here!

Ahoy Team Webguy!!
Found quickly on a great day. No travel bugs in this cache so I dropped off a geocoin.

Could someone please confirm if our TB Will it or Won't it is still in this cache. Sneaky Pete says he dropped it in Canada but it is not in that cache and there is no log to say he picked it up. We emailed him but no reply. If you look at his logs what he says he has done is not possible. Looks like he is an arse hole.

Finding the right level was the fun part.
JABs.

Found on the first day with no rain for just about two weeks. Was in this area to do a nearby cache a few months ago so back today to enjoy the great views from GZ of this cache. Left James the Clown TB in a very full cache so would like the next finder to move him on if you could. Thanks

Just maybe getting the hang of the GPS- Thanks Webguy Jnr-
Good Hide with great views. Had a look at the Forgotten Railway while I was here - TNLN
Thanks
mtnart

found this one in no time at all no muggles around as it was a week day great spot

Felt abit dizzy looking over the railway. Stunning views. Muggles walk their dogs in this area, so sneakiness and good timing is required.

Found at 1945 a great walk in a very scenic historic area. Took nothing left TB Will it or won't it. Just on dark when I found my car. TFTC.

Our first cache of the day that we found.

Woohoo!!! At last, we found a cache! This turned out to be our only find after many failed attempts today. It felt like it was our very first find - we were so happy! And then, shortly after replacing it we were treated to a view of the 'Indian Pacific' train passing by.
So it wasn't such a bad day after all. Obviously, more caching experience is required in the Blue Mountains though, and that is something we cannot wait to do!
Thanks,
The Hancock Clan

Nice easy walk to this one. Nice views from GZ. Took coin.

Amazing how one engineering feat can be created purely for a greater one, then discarded. I was somewhat spurrised at how sttep the line was. Took Diabetes TB, left Kansas Coin.

A good start in the morning..
TFTC
Alpini
In: TB out: Coin

A nice walk in the woods with the Geofam what could be better?
Found a little set of steps not far from GZ but still not seeming to be part of any formed track. I was curious if this was part of some long forgotten walkway. Anyhow the geoson found this one before we were even close he is obviously developing a knack for Mountains caching. We have left 2 x new AAA batteries and a roll of insulation tape and have taken the plastic toy frog & snake. Also dropped off Parrot coin TFTC SL

Thought we would be very smart and do this one in between the waypoints of Triview 1. It was a good call, because there was no way that Mrs Nilbog was going to venture back around to this spot again, after a morning of orienteering and geocaching. Quick easy find as the rain started to really fall. Fantastic view. Extracted three blue clothes pegs from the cache and left some toys, a lion, a snake and a ball. TFTC.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice views of the Glenbrook creek and the gorge and we saw the mountains train.

awsome view!!

Found after walking up from Fun for Shorties. Nice walk.

TNLNSL

Great place I am sorry I forgot my camera. Second one for the day. Geo kiddie took action man figure. I left frog and TB. Rooty Hill Rhino. Thanks. Couldn't find the one in car park but had no info it just popped up on GPS.

fOUND AT 13.30. Lovley walk in an interesting araea.

After lucking out on TRIView 1, we ducked over the hill and managed to find this cache fairly easily. (Well, ok, WobbleBoy actually found it...) Our 4 finds today make up for not finding any last week.

Took the BOAC bus and left a pointy finger LED light. Lingered to watch the little toy trains passing below.

Thanks Webguy Jr!

Couldn't find this one today as the GPS was going wild (it's 40m East, no wait, 6.5km West) and I didn't want an extended stay with small children and cliffs so close.

Great views though

hi this is a good cache enjoyed the veiw took a few photos:)
found this 1 with maty061
took game and plush toy
left toycar and actionman figure

Hi there - just dropped off a Geocoin - bye bye Nelly Bly

Cheers

I was interested in this cache from both an historical perspective and photographically for the views. And neither disappointed. I enjoyed reading of the past life of the spot, and the views were fantastic. The cache was found nice and easily to round off the experience. Thanks for a great cache, and everything that came with it.

A nice find for the B-Team late in the day. A very busy spot with three logged visits - one might think that it was once a train station! Impressive scenery and just enough daylight for one more nearby cache. TNLN Good Luck.

A lot of ingenuity and hard work went into these trails. We watched a few trains rumble by below us. Didn't fall off the cliff, TNLNSL. The smoke from the backburning operation going on today was getting so bad we weren't able to see the views or stay as long as we would have liked, but we'll be back! Thank you for sharing this area and for the cache Webguy Jnr!

Cache #4 @ 4:10pm

A great short walk through the bush to a cache with a view,

Nice spot

Took TB

Found at 4.30 on way home. Great spot TFTC
Took Nothing
Left TB

Great cache you have Webguy Jnr, you're a chip off the old block.
Enjoyed the placement views.
Took a pack of Snap Cards. Left a Koala & little black Bear.
Thanks Webguy Jnr.
Regards Philma.

The Map 60CS beats the 12XL.
Ther is a cutting north of this loation that a local resident claims used to be a part of a connecting rail line used to transport material from the old line to the new one. I guess this is where it led to.
Great Echo....echo....echo....
Took toy bus.
Left ruber and fridge magnet.

our first ever cache, kids got excited, good fun, won't be the last

This was my first find, and my first use of a GPS. Took me a while to work it out, but I finally made it. Very good view - well worth the small effort to get there. I did not take anything.
