Alas, this one remains elusive or has been muggled. The relative variability of the GPS didn't help but, after expanding the search considerably and matching the location with log pics, still came up empty handed
Had a good poke around, including widening our search area, but had to admit defeat after looking in all the potential hidey holes we could find and finding them empty
Based in Inglsil photo we were looking at the exact place which would have been the perfect place but alas it's not there. Maybe we are looking in the wrong spot?
Found it. Thanks for the clue about being off co-ords by 8 m
We’ve got the tb and planing it’s next step

A beautiful spot for a cache.
Id seen this one a while ago on my map and put it on my to-do list as it checked off a month that is currently blank in my grid.
Today seemed like a good day to grab it.
I experienced some rain on the drive over and was hoping the entire way that it wouldnt get any heavier. Luckily by the time i reached the park it had dropped off.
The coords for the GZ ended up being about 8m off according to my GPSr but the cache was in a good spot and it didnt take too long before i spied the container.
While i didnt have any music CDs laying around i left a box set of audiobooks: Francis Durbridge’s the Tim Frazer collection.
I ended up taking a tb and dropping one off at the same time.
The log is dry but will need to be replaced soon as it is pretty much full and while the container is also dry there is a crack in the side.
Thanks.

Out with oldmorty this morning to gain the "Hello 2019" souvenir.
As oldmorty had cleared all the caches close to home, we decided to head across the bridge to Castlecrag. We headed to the "Ghost Ship" first but soon realised that the terrain was not for us.
Back along Edinburgh Road, we parked opposite the playground and headed off down the path leading down to the water. Arriving at GZ, about half way down the track we started to search. At a reading of "0 m" on my phone I found a likely spot under a big rock with two rocks in front, a perfect hiding spot I thought. I even turned the torch on to see if the cache was way back in the back. But no. Widening the search we eventually found the cache about 3 meters away. TFTC EvilDan and the bonus of a souvenir. Happy New Year!

OCW frazeydaze to find a new years cache to qualify for the souvenir. We first attempted the nearby "Ghost Ship" but found the going a bit tough so we ventured over to this cache where once the phones settled, frazeydaze made the find. Unfortunately we didn't bring a CD to leave but I did leave a turtle who I'm sure will enjoy the music. TFTC EvilDan.
Found while visiting family nearby.. coords were slightly out but not unreasonable! TFTC ??
Dropping off trackable that is supposed to go to music themed caches. This one was our first thought. TFTC
Great cache great view swapped items for CD and ball 60th find cant wait for more in the future

I was hoping some new caches would be published today and when a spree of notifications started appearing, I decided to head out and try my luck. Fortunately for me, many of the newly published were fairly close by, so I went for them first.
Starting with ‘Abbott’ (GC7PDWG) and ‘Costello’ (GC7PDV6) in North Epping, I made quick First To Finds here, at this familiar park, while managing to avoid prying eyes from the local school group playing on the oval. Thanks For The Caches Alephroom.
Next it was onto ‘Pardon the Pun - Classic Animated Movies’ (GC7P1EV) in Epping. I was having a bit of trouble with the GPSr signal and had a look around in more spots than I needed, but eventually had the Cache In Hand. Quite a bit of muggle traffic but was able to sign the log for another First To Find and return the cache without raising any suspicion. Thanks For The Cache Frazelle and Ash_Kate.
Travelling down the road to Carlingford, I went for another new cache, ‘Music With Rocks In’ (GC7P8QB). Parking in a nearby side street, I walked over and down the electrifying track towards the published co-ordinates. The cache was a little exposed upon approach, so it was easy to spot. Another First To Find and I made sure to replace it with a bit more protection. Thanks For The Cache Alephroom.
Morry9 was available soon after and encouraged me to join him in Northbridge for 'Pontem Borealis (History trail #1)’ (GC7P01E), for another newly published cache. We parked at the bottom of the hill and walked up the driveway to the open area where the cache was hidden. We had to widen our search but morry9 spotted it and we shared a joint First To Find. The co-ordinates are out a little, by about 12m according to our GPSr. Thanks For The Cache Dreamlifter56.
While in the vicinity, there were a few caches I wanted to do. We hit up the somewhat tricky ‘Warners Donation’ (GC7BT7B) in Castlecrag, which also showed about 15m or so off according to our GPSr and the log is soaked. An interesting location, Thanks For The Cache geo2893.
After that, we went to ‘Gunsens Gap’ (GC7CYRP), which was nice and quick, and provided us with a good Cache In Trash Out opportunity - the CITO Crusaders strike again! Thanks For The Cache RatusGeocaching.
We continued along to ‘Walter's Jukebox’ (GCNGVA) and it was a nice walk down the track behind the park. A quick find, Thanks For The Cache EvilDan (DeltaMike29).
The last one for the day was ‘Four Fig Park’ (GC6N8PG) in Cammeray. Another straightforward find under the shade of a grand row of Morton Bays. Thanks For The Cache aeon14.

Found with JordsAU. Nice view of the Castle Cove Castle Wills Castle. Cheers for the cache!
Found it - log book nearly full - bring your own pen - current one out of ink. Beautiful spot
Completed as part of a geodare- find 4 medium caches in 1 day Cache 4/4. I teamed up with Seemyshell on this one so he could fill a gap in his Jasmer grid. We found an entry point on Edinburgh rd- a vacant private property and began our descent. We realised that we were surrounded by private backyards so we continued the long way around, bush bashing. 30 minutes later, we finally found a track and eventually found the cache. We then found the easy way out, up the track and through the playground. Cache# 728 TFTC

Needing a cache for the day, and also this one for my Jasmer, I was in the area with Rodney1210..... as always we took a very hard and long way (T4) to the cache before finding it and taking the (T2) route back to the car... nice size and age.
Cheers

A nice little walk in the bush on a scorching hot day led me to the gz.
Gps seemed uncertain so I fell back on instinct and was shortly rewarded.

Thanks Walter. I took 1TB & 1 CD. I will return another time to drop off a CD or 2. TFTC EvilDan
On the way to Harold Reid Reserve.
Whooo a very cache. Perfect for our challenge ! The rock close to cache is also perfect for our lunch. Nice view and the area is very quite.
Thanks for the discovery of this place. +1FP

I'm back working in a neighbouring area and I've had my Eye on this one being just across the bay from Harold Reid Reserve.
I parked the Geomobile on Edinburgh Rd right in front of the park, which fortunately was deserted. I followed the path to GZ where a likely hiding spot was seen and soon had CIH. This is a nice size container stocked with a big selection of CDs, the TB was missing from the container.
I signed the log and returned the cache as found.
Find: 447
Only the one find for today.
0 DNFs for today
Cache:Is in good condition
Log/Logbook: Is in good condition less than 50% full.

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. My phone initially wanted me to go to a slightly different location. After I widened my search area soon I had the cache in hand. TFTC lively walk and area.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Great location.
I logged this cache years ago, but revisited the entry on the web site when geotagging some old photos. I'm going to be a real pedant here, but the man's name was Walter Burley Griffin, not Walter Burley-Griffin. Burley was his middle name, it was not the first part of a double barrelled surname. And yes, the people who named the lake in Canberra got it wrong as well.

#1479 Twelfth of thirteen finds on a Saturday's afternoon caching around Castle Cove, Middle Harbour and Castlecrag. Found after a short search TFTC
Wow, there is some great exercise to be had by walking up and down the stairs! I found coords to be out by about 8m, but a relatively straightforward hide after eliminating other nearby possibilities. I continued walking down the path to the waters edge and discovered a very serene vista hidden away. A couple of park benches there to take a rest too. TFTC
Found it. Took nothing, left nothing. Interesting collection in there at the moment. TFTC! I like this one.
Found with BillHill531 and my eldest son on a day trip down to Sydney. Our main aims for the day were a few new placed dates and months, with a couple bonus caches thrown in. Mostly short walks today, with a nice loop of a series as well.
Junior was excited about the playground, so after finding the cache we had a decent play.
Thanks for the steep little walk, new placed month, jukebox and cache!

Found with TOMBI! and grandson, he wanted to do some with a special D/T combo or special date of placement. Nice views, Did the full circuit. TFTC
After checking some pics, found how far down I had to go. Was tempted to take 60mins of Droplets CD but couldn't swap. TFTC.
The view makes me high enough without weed control.....tho....peace Dudes. My first musical cache. Left some French street songs... took something mellow and jazzy. Thank you.
Had been doing some weed control through the area and quickly dropped across to this one at knock if time. Surprising how many wallabies that are around here. Tftc tnln nice idea for a cache but attracts people's poorer musical tastes.
Have been meaning to visit this one for a while. It took us an embarrassingly long time to find it, but find it we did. Dropped off an abc classics compilation of 1 minute songs, and have been bopping away to 'Take That'! TFTC!
randomly decided to go and check it out. a quick find and visible from the path but when I pulled it out there was a huntsman spider on it but otherwise it was a cool cache. TFTC
Hard to believe I'd never been to find this one considering how old it was and I've been doing this for over 7 years now. Parked up top and ignored the kiddies and mum on the playground equipment as I headed for the bush with the sun going down. Found what I thought was the right level but went a bit further and made the find. Nice to find an oldie. Not sure how many people are into CDs these days. I barely made it past records myself. Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Safe and dry even after the torrential rain this weekend. Great views on the track and a well stocked cache. Out doing the shopping and clearing singe near to home boxes. Good one! Cheers
Found during an early morning expedition. Almost as scary as "things that go bump in the night" are "things that go jump in the night"; and those wallabies I heard certainly are eating their veggies. Tftc
Dropped off two smashing pumpkins alblums(copies only) and another one, so good I can't remember what it was, oops. Took nothing, thanks for the cache
GPS was off so used the photos as a guide. Quick find using those as hints. TFTC
Enjoying the long weekend - lovely spot again. Although didn't walk all the way to the bottom
A beautiful reserve in a beautiful suburb
I didn't swap a CD but there's quite an eclectic collection in the cache

Targeting the Harold Reid Reserve power trail this morning as I approach my 500th find. Unfortunately I encountered 2 unexpected DNFs, so needed one more before my milestone puzzle cache nearby.
Easy parking near the playground and a nice stroll to GZ. Spotted the hide out of the corner of my eye and was soon signing the log. TFTC.

What a marvellous idea for a cache. Sadly, though, I didn't bring any CDs with me from Canberra, so I only signed the log. The view out over the harbour is superb too.
I found that the cache was about 5m east of the coordinates.
Thank you DeltaMike29 for this great cache.

Well I had the map app on cycle maps thus had the idea that the hide was behind houses with no access from the park.
So parked at a small trail that lead between the houses some 400m before the hide.
Walked 50m and realised the trail was not heading the right way and decided to read past logs.
Oh a park! So back to the cart and drove 300m up the road. Followed the trail and again needed to view photo spoilers to make the find thanks evildan

A nice spot for a daily cache. Took a bit for the GPS to settle then soon had cache in hand. Cheers
In Sydney for the day to fill in a few spaces in my month hidden grid.
A nice walk down the path to this one but a muggle approached from the other direction while I was signing the log. I pushed the cache behind me, pulled out a muesli bar and my water bottle and pretended I'd stopped for a snack break. Lots of CDs in the cache but I had nothing with me so took nothing and left nothing.

tftc .... had nothing to swap. great location and gas gotten the geokids really interested in being outdoors
First geocache found together with my son. Very special. Had a good time cycling here from Northbridge. Great find on a beautiful location away from the road. Playground was great to play around also. Thx.
A good find close to the road. We hit it at sunset and got some great views. Took 2 trackables, left a Pokemon (I think) figure and an interesting marble. TFTC
Me and geodad had to walk up 280 stairs to grab this cache and our legs were killing after.

A lovely Sunday morning find with my daughter. Unfortunately we weren't prepared with a cd, so took nothing but left a Singapore coin. TFTC!
Stopped off on the way home from work for this one.
Wandered down past the playground, with interesting mosaic ball, and down the nice sandstone steps to GZ. Lovely bush & water views from this location.
Quickly uncovered the hide, signed the log and left a DVD of some "Rage" music videos recorded off ABC TV. Also dropped off "Ugg boot" TB.
Thanks DeltaMike29 for the great location, and the unusual themed/concept cache. Terrific idea.

TFTC. Perfectly beautiful hide and hiding spot.
Took a CD of French singing children; left something French and Funky, some glorious English Choral music, and a burnt CD copy of Cecilia Bartoli singing some insanely virtuosic baroque arias.
Also left Mystery Machine TB and took a Plane TB.

Time enough for one last cache in this area before heading home. So I picked this one.
Quick find once I got to GZ. Not too many possible hides, so I chased it down quickly.
The camo was not quite deployed right, so after completing signing duties tried to rearrange the camo so it is not visible to passing muggles.
Discovered the trackable, but left it for the next cacher.

Number 3 for today hate it when I put my hand in and it comes out with a cache and an assortment of small insects! Tftc.
After visiting relations in Castlecrag I decided to find this one which was quite close-by. Despite the lovely weather, the playground was empty so I was untroubled by muggles. I was soon at GZ but could not immediately see an obvious hide. I looked slightly further afield, spotted a likely place and had CIH.
I swapped a CD of various MP3 files with something similar, signed the log and replaced the cache then took in the pleasant views of Crag Cove through the trees for a while.
Thanks DeltaMike29.
