Geocache Description:

Cortez The Killer - #6 in series

My caches are named after songs by a singer/songwriter/musician I really admire ~ Neil Young. With over 55 albums since the late 60's he remains significant today in music, renewable energies, social & environmental issues.


Cortez The Killer

~ a song by Neil Young

I was scouting for a hide location and this song title, one of his epic masterpieces, jumped at me. It's a song about people living in paradise who never knew war and worked together in harmony - for the most part.

This cache is in a forky trail section section of Hunts Creek Reserve, a Wildlife Sanctuary located in Carlingford with many different walking trails. There are many different roads that can be used to access this area. It is virtualy muggle free.

The hint is little cryptic. Be vigilant !

The walk to the Waterfall is a nice little stroll and is particularly good after rain! You can venture further down past the back of the Kings School at North Parramatta and into Lake Parramatta bushland for a good days hike.

There are some other interesting caches in this area. A mapping app may be handy as there are a few offshoots.
