Geocache Description:


This cache will take you on a bit of an adventure along a lesser used shortcut from Paparangi/Grenada to Churton Park.
 
We had heard stories of this shortcut and thought it was worth a visit. The path starts in the muggle filled Seton Nossiter Park at the Belmont Viaduct and follows a straight line to Churton Park. You'll emerge in an isolated spot surrounded by suburbia. There is plenty of parking on Mark Avenue.

There are a number of ways to reach GZ.  Starting at the listed waypoint is the most direct and quickest route, but others are available. 
 
Alternative Hazard – Dubious Coordinates
 
Because of the nature of GZ getting a good coordinate fix was difficult.  You shouldn’t have any problems if you follow the hint.


But note the caveats:
If you chose to start your journey at a point other than that listed take care not to trespass.
 
The recommended route will not always be appropriate.  Please read the warning sign near the start and only attempt if you are comfortable doing so.  If it has been raining heavily do not attempt the passage.
 
Visibility will be a problem; you should bring some form of lighting device.  The path is easy going but there are a couple of obstacles.
 
There is no need to stop or walk on the motorway to find this cache.

Be aware of muggles observing you entering and exiting the passage

Remember to pick up the extra information in the log book
