Found before ICC Christmas Event.
Pulled up alongside one of the residents and I asked them if I could "Check out the bridge?"
He was okay with this and I found cache easily enough

A quick find in the traditional hide for this kind of structure, but I felt very exposed here! TFTC.
I found it this time.
It would be better if it had a container too, but I guess its safe where it is.

while geo mumma and geo pappa were looking all over i walked straight to it TFTC
found with rowan king97 on a rainy Monday searched for a while but got it eventually tftc
Not such an easy find as I had CO staring at me making me feel extremely self conscious eventually had the guts to look properly with a hint or two and cache found. Didnt have pen so couldn't sign log. TFTC
We had a quick search, a nice chat to one of the locals, who said that she'd seen echidnas, snakes and deer in the last few weeks, so we needed to be careful. Back to it (after she had gone back inside her house) and cache in hand. TFTC
Enjoyed this cache but took us longer to pull out all the prickles than it did to find GZ.
Found after a short search this time. I'm sure we checked that spot last time but must not of noticed the cache.
Found it yesterday with kdublu with our first trackable, working on logging the trackable tftc
A stark, simple bridge with nowhere to hide but the more you look the more you find. Well done. TFTC.
We had no luck today but I was sweating like crazy so I probably didn't try as hard as I could have. We'll come back on a more overcast day.
Armed with advice from previous logs we started checking the obvious spots and after a short search Mrs Red_V came up with the find. TFTC.
A good hide co-ords spot on, my big man hands made getting the cache out a little harder then it
needed to be but got there in the end....TFTC.....

Haha nifty. I didn't even notice this hiding spot until I got down off the bridge, which I might add to fellow cachers is not actually necessary! Still an enjoyable hide despite feeling a little exposed. Once again, young Liam264 put his hand on a cache first today! Thanks for the sneaky hide and the enjoyable drive around the area.
Found easily enough with snorris. Felt exposed so close to all those houses though.
Decided to have a look on the way home from work today with paulyman. A few minutes at GZ and we had the cache in hand. TFTC!
Reperio at 1125.
Stopped by this one on a morning of caching around the gong before heading off to the International Geocaching event...and surprisingly given the nature of the hide, this one was found almost immediately. Don't know what the houses up the road would think if they saw someone searching around here though!

Never been to this part of the Gong before. Some nice houses & views up here ! SL TFTC
The cover of darkness proved easier to find this one without feeling so out in the open. Nashy made the find on this one first.
Find #1257 - 2 for today. Found on 24/06/12 10:20 AM
Couldn't find it after my initial search, after rereading previous logs did a more thorough search and woohoo found it. Well hidden! Had one of the residents drive past and asked what I was doing as he has seen other cachers searching the bridge. Quickly explained what I was doing and was satisfied and left. Thanks. TNSLLN

I had a quick look for this one this afternoon as the sun was fading but feeling oh so exposed and after spying a resident nearby watching, I'll save this one for later.
Our Easter Monday geocaching bike ride taught us just how hilly Figtree is. But at least we were successful and now a little bit more fit too! TFTC!
Quick grab, betting much better at bridge caches. Looking from here there's been a massive land slide . TFTC
I think I found every gap and hole but eventually made the find. Not what I was expecting,...lots to learn very sneeky. SL TFTC
thanks for the fun! took my little cousins from melbourne and with this cache i introduced them to the fun of caching.
Just was running out of time today to have a good look for this one will return.
Found at 2.35pm GAFF1. So who is Terrie and did she pay for this bridge? A nice hide that requires a bit of faith that nothing is going to bite you!
Thanks F@nJOnCO - (how do you pronounce that name?)

Wow is this bridge private?? Lovely area for a home, and cache. Nabbed by SolDeLune in the place I had just looked at..Grr.
Thanks F@nJOnCO

5038. [font=Century Gothic][green]It seems that there are a few of these bridges around the upper reaches of this area. A few of them have caches and this one was located by Sol de lune.

Having found a few Puzzle caches in a row it was time to get back on some traditional's and this was a closest one to where I was.
Located quickly in a spot I have found many others that are hidden on these structures.

I ducked under the bridge just as some workmen were gathering up some pipes nearby. I wonder if they noticed my hands protruding up from below, as I gathered the cache? Thanks F@nJOnCO.
Easy find if approached from below. Also not as exposed from this position! SL TFTC
Felt naked doing this one, oh so exposed.
Co-ords spot on wish they were all this accurate.

Was a bit weird being on private property. We managed to find the cache without too many worries. TNLNSL TFTC
Finally found this on my third visit. I don't think this is as easy as everyone makes out! TFTC.
Q; What's more conspicuous to a muggle than a cacher snooping around a small bridge?
A: A cacher snooping around a small bridge in heavy rain carrying a bright orange umbrella.
Thankfully, the coordinates were absolutely spot on.
Thanks, F@nJonCo.

Found this one easily. But felt like I was a bit of a sitting duck during retrieval & replacement - what with all the muggles at their high vantage points!
Came with 1stFigtree, was a little unsure of the legality of the position at first but soon the cache was in hand!
despite the bright colour the scouts still managed to look directly at it and not find it. Got it eventually though.
Ended up climbing down into the creek before I managed to spot it up on the bridge, mocking me.
A big lazy blue-tongue was guarding the bridge today but he let us past to find the cache.
Thanks,

A nice quick one with the kids. Drove around to the end of the street and saw a few deer.
I had to drive a few streets to find the place as I did not have a map - nor do I have one on my GPS - but eventually found the bridge. Quick grab as coords right on. Thanks.
Quick and easy find - it was in the logical spot after all, and the coordinates were spot on. Would love a private bridge like this, though I'd want one that I could raise or retract to keep the muggles at bay. Thanks for the cache F@nJOnCO

Nice easy find on a particularly interesting bridge cache! Keep up the good work! [^]
This had us going for a few minutes, but once it was spotted, it clearly stood out. A guy even crossed the bridge (which looks like it goes to private property) in a ute and never even flinched that 4 of us were pouring over it. Did he know something, I wonder?
For some reason I didn't think I'd find this, but there it was, rather straight forward to find after a few minutes of searching. Thanks
Come to this cache eventually on a day on which I haven't cached before. Nice container. I have used one myself. Good hide too. Lots of neighbours overlooking the bridge. But I was discretely located for the grab and sign.

A very early morning raid on this one to avoid an muggle eyes ( 5:00am) and I soon had the cache in hand. This is a substantial bridge for some residential homes. Nice hide and thanks for the cache F@nJOnCo.
This cache took a bit of work before discovery and then some more work to extract the log. Certainly an impressive bridge for a few houses! TFTC!
After completeing the cache, which I must say is a good hide. I sat back and wondered who owned and paid for this bridge???
Thanks F@nJOnCO
Thanks F@nJOnCO
Found it and signed the log. excellent hide spot. (like the container so much) more neat. Thanks F@nJOnCO.
Just picked up and logged the cache but was spotted by a muggle who overlooks GZ. Could not replace so will do it on darkness tonight. Only a short walk from home so should be back soon. Thanks. This cache will get harder when more houses are completed overlooking GZ.
Tried this one about a week ago and the container was missing - It was brightly coloured and back in place today though!
