Geocache Description:

Don't try to access GZ directly from the road or from above.  Don't park on Wilson Drive, it is a very fast narrow road.  I have provided two Parking waypoints.  From either of those (South is easier), walk to the "Tunnel Entrance" waypoint (S34 23.329 E150 29.274).  From there you can walk through the tunnel to GZ for an easy find.  Please replace the cache and camo as found.


Whenever I drive along this road I think of a geocache I did years ago involving an old sandstone tunnel under the road.  It has long been archived but today I set out to find the tunnel again.  I did find it, and that cache has been revived as "Colo Vale Tunnel" nearby.  But before rediscovering that one, I accidentally found this one!  It is smaller and more overgrown but still a great example of historic sandstone engineering.  The tunnel is usually dry so you can crouch-walk through it easily, but after heavy rain there could be some water in it.

I suspect there is a third tunnel further north, where Jumpdown Creek crosses the road, but that area is far too overgrown with lantana to explore.
