Geocache Description:

This is, as far as I am concerned, a classic 'Hoojar' Cache. Not an easy drive-by here...

To get to this cache you will need to drive to Batsh(it) Camp in the Southern Blue Mountains. Depending upon how you approach, it is a long, or a very long, drive. From Wollongong, via Wombeyan Caves Road and The Range Fire Trail, it takes me about 4 hours.

Once you get to Batsh(it) Camp, you will need to walk about 1km along the Uni Rover Trail towards Colong Caves. If you want, you can keep going to the Caves, then the Kowmung River, and then Kanangra Walls. This is an absolutely classic walk.

However, you are probably more interested in finding the cache...

Once you get to Bindook Swamp you will have a walk off-track for about 100m, this will take you into the Swamp, but out of NPWS Land. At the time of placing the Swamp was very wet, but I kept my feet dry.

The cache is hidden about 2m up a tree, high enough to avoid any flood damage! I don't want you to come all this way and miss the cache, so in the area of GZ look for the tallest tree!

I hope that you enjoy your walk in one of my most favourite parts of the Greater Sydney Area!
