Geocache Description:

A musical cache - bring your unwanted CDs, and maybe pick up an unknown gem...

Walter Burley-Griffin is most well-known for designing Canberra, but he also had a lot of influence in Sydney. He designed the suburb of Castlecrag, and many of the houses in it. The Council has an interesting fact sheet available at http://www.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/fileDownload.asp?id=1462&file=_Upload/files/Fact_Castlecrag.pdf.

The cache is a 3-litre container with a pile of CDs. We all have a CD or two at home that hasn't been listened to for ages... well, bring yours to this cache and share the music! Should be able to fit 10 full-size CDs in the cache, far more if they're in slimline cases or disc envelopes.

Initial contents include an EP from Sydney's best band, Lazy Susan; an EP from The Whitlams, a Triple J Hottest 100 compilation; and a couple of Bangkok specials - CD's in MP3 format with a dozen albums on each, from some well-known bands... if you're a musical cacher, drop in a CD (burnt or commercial) of your music!

The cache is located just off a moderately steep trail that winds all the way from the main road to Middle Harbour, with nice views. There's a playground for GeoKids, too.

Acessible by public transport - catch the 203 bus from Wynyard (city) to the end of the line.

See if you can find a Burley-Griffin original house, or the memorial near the hospital... then play your new CD in the car as you head to my other Burley Griffin cache, The Incinerator.

Difficulty bumped to 2 due to variable satellite reception.
