Logs
Co-ords would have had us in a place we didn't want to be so we had a good look at the hint object that was where the name suggested. After no luck there we widened our search to include all signs in the immediate area but came up empty.
Have done this cache twice with 2 different GPS equipment and every time the GPS cordinates had us on railway tracks out in the open. Checked all signs in close co-ords with no luck. Any chance for better C0-ords please?
Not Found[Time to Find: 22 min]
hunted according to the hint and also from description of previous logs and no find , gps c ordinates had us on railway tracks out in the open.

As previous logs suggested the coordinates are inaccurate, we searched over a wide area, particularly where the cache name was appropriate, but were unable to locate this cache.
GPS had us out as we stopped on wrong side of the tracks. Once all signs exhausted, a look at satellite map showed it could be on the other side of tracks. Apple map had is wrong. But found in the end on quiet New Year's Day.
Wrong side of the track to begin with, GPS all over the place. Found quickly with the hint tftc
My GPS signal was patchy but managed to find it with the hint. Only 4 more spaces left in the log now. A nice park and grab at the end of the day TFTC
My first official find with the help of my geocaching family (farmer2some, kryshan and my little cousin kelboy13). Have helped nana and grandad a few times to find treasures before they gave me my own name.
Quick find with Mum and Dad (kryshan) and Nana and Grandad (farmer2some) and Jordon05

Found during a nice afternoon hunt in Invercargill. This was the first cache here, but not the last one.
I do not know what was going on with my GPS, but the coordinates have been about 30 m out.
But thanks to the hint and the title, I found it.

Found it, went hunting the other day with no luck, but having briefly talked to another GCer managed to find today, cheers
Yay took a second go GPS wanted to play games on me but just kept looking with the help of the clue.
A quick easy find second time round, must have been on the ground the first time, as went straight to it today and had looked there previously and not there. TFTC
Quick find. It was lying on the ground so replaced where I thought it should be. It may need stronger glue to keep it in place.

Must have programmed wrong cords for this one had it about 1km away so go for the clue. Soon found.
But I have issues with the placement. It is actually on a Railway over bridge. Rail bridge number 1 on the Invercargill to Bluff track. It should not be attached to a rail bridge structure. Unless this bridge is deemed fully a road bridge and not partly administered by the railways.

Thanks for that info. I will check up on that info. I just assumed that because it doesn't have railway lines on it that it would be ok for placement.
the bridge is listed under the Invercargill City Council's roading assets, which states that the ICC or it's contractors maintain it. i can't find any information outside of this which states that kiwirail maintains the bridge.
