Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Location is in a beautiful area as per the title, makes a good day walk. A few good ups and downs. Enjoy the area and please don't spoil it.
Yes, the name is a bit cheeky! The cache, (second waypoint), is actually located at - S 34 10.%90 E 150 51.x**
if you can decipher the complete Lat/Long,or want to try all the combinations - Good Luck. If you succeed, and know the area, you could go straight to the cache for a nice 3hr bushwalk, (otherwise you will need to add more time.)

As it is unlikely you will be able to decipher the correct location, you will need to visit the first given waypoint known as Quake.

Take some food and water for this bushwalk. Take pen and paper and put on thinking cap. Do your research for this one.

As Hoojar said, lyrca isn't the most suitable clothing for a long bush bash...
Track, what track??
Got there in the end and it was a beautiful day for a bike ride... although a lot of it ended up being a bike push! :)
Dropped off a coin.
Collected another.
Cheers.

Having broken the code and deciphered ground zero, all that was left was to find a time to get there. Today was the day! We made the big loop drive from Wollongong to Wedderburn, jumped on the bikes and headed in. The ride was undulating to where we left the firetrail, from there on the experience wasn't so pleasant.

The 500m or so track in to ground zero is at best hard to follow, more likely all but impossible. Dressed for bike riding and not bushbashing, my legs look like I went 12 rounds with a slasher, quite painful actually. But eventually ground zero was reached, the log was signed, and all that was left was to head back to the bikes, only 500 more meters of murder! But not after a quick Mango Smoothie in honour of Tangles!

The bush bashing ruined the cache for me. I love a good bush walk, but the thick regrowth in here wasn't all too enjoyable. In the end I was just glad to mark it of the list as found.

Cheers

With a name like Tangles Backyard we knew that this one would be interesting. We've been watching it for years, and today was to be the day. Any cache named after Tangles should be tackled on a MTB, so we parked at West Cliff and road in (mainly to avoid the massive car loop through Campbelltown). We picked up a couple of quick caches on the way here too.

Once at WP1 we cracked out the battery powered blender and had a mango smoothie (in honour of Tangles of course) whilst we tried to nut out the code.

Having a brain fade we decided to sit on this one for a while and leave it as a work in progress....

We'll be back!

Well what a cache for number 100.
I completed the Quake waypoint the day before. Started this morning at about 8:30 from the car park, ready for a nice ride and cache. The last 500 meters was a little painful, had a long sleeve shirt on but no long pants :( All up for the final cache took me a little under 4 hours.

Dropped off a coin with the Goal to "stay in harder caches" well this one is hard, but a lot of fun and lots to see along the away.
