Time to exercise your fingers!! This cache is not hidden at the listed coordinates. To find the true coordinates you need to solve the puzzle located in cache "Bearded Dragon Dell". This cache placement had been on my to-do list for a long time - just needed to find both a location and the time to construct the gamepiece :) I hope you enjoy solving this puzzle as much as dad and I enjoyed making it!
NOTE: From actual GZ for the cache, in the distance through the trees you will be able to see a curious landmark down on Georges creek. It is the location of Sydney Water's Fresh Water Monitoring site No.6. The upstream area of the catchment is 440 hectares in size with 56% zoned rural, 20% zoned residential and approximately 24% being zoned open space and environmental protection. The site is located adjacent to a gabion wall (see supersleuthdave's post for an example picture) constructed to retain a sewage pumping station.
Monitoring started here in October 1994. Entrance to the facility is opposite Fallon Drive Reserve Park/Playground. However, PLEASE NOTE that, while entry to the facility appears to be a standard fire trail, it is missing the sign "WARNING: KEEP OUT" on the boom gates. At the private property location there are many high voltage transformers, etc, for the pumping system. There are also Sydney Water signs clearly indicating "TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED". Please do not venture onto the site, there's not much to see.
