Description

This one is well worth the trek out for more reasons than 1. Hidden at an elevation of 1011m above sea level, the vast view of the sweeping valley below will inspire any person privelidged enough to experience it. Extreme care must be taken to retrieve this cache but for those adventurous enough go for this one, you will discover a large container filled with a great bounty. For the FTF particularly, there is a PLAYSTATION 1 CONSOLE with games, controller and memory cards amongst other cool trades. We do ask for fair swaps for this one though. This place can be accessed by mountain bike or by walking, both of which provide an adventurous couple of hours.

27th Found it GIN51E It was perfect weather for a Blue Mountains Bushwalk and it wasn't long until we were blessed with the magnificent views at GZ.

We didn't know what we were in for going off past logs but the cache was easily accessible.

The log was signed, the views were enjoyed and we were also picked up a travel bug in the form of a Stick Insect.

After spending the previous day in and around Bathurst it was fantastic to get out into the bush with some magnificent views and finding a real cache instead of a micro.

A very much enjoyed cache. and best of all it was a GCA cache.

11th Found it ruffasgutts4x4 I was part of the team of seven that conquered Daylight today. So after a short break and a change of clothes, it was time to continue our caching assault on this area. We actually went further in and got another nearby cache before this one. This one was well placed I had to assist in the removal of this one due to the shear wait of it!
Made my log and passed it on nothing taken, nothing put in. Thanks for the cache. Top Spot!
11th Found it Alpini Another close by look out with similar views as the bush bash XY. Again WOW!
And what a big box!

11th Found it Rikki Rode out here on my mountain bike. Was a pretty easy ride, and was rewarded with some fantastic views! Wow. I have never seen Lake Burragorang from this angle before.

Didn't do any swaps, just signed the logs. Thanks for the cache it really is a great spot.

Returned with most of the other cachers who did Daylight earlier. I wanted to find another cache nearby which I didn't have time to look for.

11th Found it tronador Another stunning cache location. The eight legged beast was soon found and with it the very large cache. I wedged myself in to retrieve it, wow was it heavy, so had to pass it on to ruffasguts4x4 so I didn't roll off the side off the cliff. Sure is a long way down.
This was another great walk along Narrow neck. No swaps. With the caching duties complete, it was off to wander further along the dusty road and bid our farewell to Spindoc and Ruffasguts

11th Found it The Spindoctors Another cache with an amazing view - WOW! I replaced the cache and must admit that the height didn't bother me all that much. A great walk, through amazing scenary and a big cache at the end. This is what it's all about. I have a PS2 and getting a PS3 soon. Maybe I should have grabbed the PS1 for the set?

12th Found it Altaire After completing the other nearby sister cache to this one we wandered over towards the cliff edge wondering what lay in store. As "soft option" is our unofficial motto and we have no agreement to speak of with heights, it was with some trepidation that we approached the cache location. Spotted the 8 legged beast and shortly thereafter spotted the enormous cache container. Also spotted the enormous drop. Mmmmmmmmmm......

It was an amusing little retrieval which in the end was achieved fairly easily. Once again we contemplated a superb view whilst completing the cache duties. We made no swaps. The computer game thingy still resides in it's plastic eyrie - we're far too ancient for that sort of thing.

Thanks Crazyheads for a couple of wonderful caches in a spectacular area.

21st Found it bshwckr On a wet and windy Katoomba morning, I hung my ass over the cliff and grabbed this one. The view from the cache location is amazing. This is definately not for those with a fear of heights!

I thought my cache "Air" in the Hunter Valley was a bit scary. Not now.

Note; The Playstation is still there!

14th Noted mandaj Congrats on the first to actually log this one. I went there took a few deep breaths reached out and touched it even took a photo about 2 weeks ago but could get no further than that - so I write this note to let you know that I had a go.

Nice hike and view but the cache is not for the wimpy.

Cheers

10th Found it rob689 At last my first FTF.
Great views. I've never been to the cliffs here, even though I've driven out past here many times.
Hairiest retrieval I've done so far.
Didn't bring much with me, so I only left a couple of batteries - no swap.
Just missed a ride back to the gate with the tower operator.
