Will check soon

Dnf for us. Can you confirm if it's still there. Seems like over a year of dnf's for people

Too well hidden for us.

Didn't find after much time searching, CO can you verify it is where it should be?

Staying at The Surf & leisure resort, had a few good looks for this with the geo teens climbing up all over! No luck with this one!GPS showing the cache to be over the creek but I haven't read anything about this , previous logs indicate a climb and bridge find. Shame not to find this after staying here for 6 days and constantly seeing this pop up on my map! Next time. Bikes flying past ... a lot!!! keep this kids to the side for this and if at night use insect repellent.

We had a day cycling from Bulli to Wollongong and return. It's now time to log my finds.
I am working towards my 3000th find and today's effort has reduced my remaining total from 46 to 27.
Lets report the DNF's first and I can work on the found caches later.
This was an amazing spot to be searching. With high speed cyclists and Pedestrians every few minutes we searched high and low.
Maybe another day.

Ready set go

Cache is back

Missing

Not sure it's still here PLEASE CHECK

Yet again another DNF, even with a paf who had already found it, sigh...I thought I was going to fall onto the track at times Keep safe.

Weekly cache night with Paegle!

Trying to smash out 10 tonight to reach my 600th find. I dont think we got there in the end

Second attempt, this time is was visible

cache is still there just added a new log book

4 out of 4 dnf today,
Boo

Too many bikes whizzing past, come back later

After a quick scramble while, my geo-wife kept watch, I had the cache in hand, TNLN thanks.

I must be getting old - this was a lot harder than I expected. Good fun though! Took the TB. TFTC!

It has its advantages to be 1.95 m

Finally up to date with a backlog of finds from a recent interstate roadtrip, I can now get back to crossing local ones off the list. Catching up with ozvixen today, we decided to do a maintenance run to check on our LIPT hides then add a few new ones as I dropped her back home. Knew what to expect after a predecessor at this location so, after spotting it on arrival, utilised ozvixen’s agility (and better footwear) to make the grab as I kept a look out for muggles. Last of the bike track series now complete (other than #4 that was archived before I got to it).

Found on a local hunt with MizMaz. TFTC!!

Spotted straight away and then did the monkey routine to get it in hand

Nice easy find for first thing in the morning.
Found with ADAcache and Tweety14.

thanks

Found it with hayman's. Didn't have treasure in it but we left some stuff in there.

Sister and I had our mother's birthday nearby so afterwards we took our unicycles out for a ride. Figured we'd do some caching while we were at it.

Woah! This was fun! Avoiding muggles was difficult, so getting to the cache unseen proved a trial in itself. Lucky I've been hitting the gym, otherwise the climb may have resulted in a DNF.

GeoWife1 and I spent the week camping at the Corrimal Tourist Park and of course we spent part of each day caching along the coast line. What a wonderful part of the country this area is, we had a most enjoyable time.

An afternoon walk to locate the Bike Track Cache #12 and #13.

Like so many others we looked for some time before the cache was spotted all tucked away, safe and sound.

Now how to get the little blighter down, tried climbing but gave that up, so what was required was a caching tool. With caching tool in hand the cache was eased out of it's location until we had cache in hand.

Log signed and now, how to replace the cache from whence it came.

A very specific caching tool was required to replace this cache and with the assistance GeoWife1 the tool was fashioned. It took a few attempts before we had success but with perseverance the cache was replaced in exactly the same place as it was before.

Nice job.

Tks ... paegle boy ... GazMag

#2,338

I came in from the 'resort', squeezed past a locked gate, and all for nought. All I got was the whiff of gas from a leaking gas pipe near the bridge, which I reported to the owners.

Another local cache on the radar for way too long. Took the plunge this morning and went for a short stroll before spotting the cache. Then it was the retrieval and back to the car. TFTC!

Tftc took tb

Following a DNF on the 13/3/14 I returned today while on holiday. Still took me a around 10 minutes to locate the cache. The geowife very kindly retrieved and returned the cache from its location. TN Left a small pen a couple of craft items and a smiley badge. Released my first TB into the wild. Sl. TFTC paegle boy.

I couldn't reach it last time. This time I came with a tool, just to have to climb up to put it back in place!

This is a nasty cache, second DNF! I managed somehow to get down from the camp ground to the bike track, but then???? As I was seeking under the bridge, my student passed and that was it... better move on! I must be really motivated or frustrated to come back again!

Spent a solid half hour up and down the railings, looking around, but in my way down I jumped and spotted it out the corner of my eye! Bit of a challenge to get it! But what a great cache, cheers Peagle boy!

Standing on the bike track looking looking and watching out for bikes whizzing past. Didn't spend lot of time looking as my GPSr indicated GZ being accoss the creek?? I'll be back.

An early morning bike ride rewarded us with 2 caches - this being one of them. Thanks to paegle boy

Bill & Bruce headed off on their bikes to find 2 caches before breakfast. This was one they found.
The track is quiet busy at that time of morning.
Challenging to reach it.
Thanks paegle boy

Should have checked that terrain rating first!! Pagan spotted it and the Lokipagan acrobatics team kicked into gear for yet another cache . We had a few passing bikes during retrieval so no idea what they were thinking [B)]. Coords were originally pointing 18m over the creek so the hint was invaluable.
Thanks paegle boy

I had just done the tree cache nearby and thought Id try Nd get closer by driving to a nearby car park, this seemed to take longer than if I had of just walked so yeah! Anyways, after manipulating my way through the nearby resort found a way down, then the fun part. There is something so fun about bridge caching that really speaks to me, maybe inner child hood tree climbs or something. Anyway, well hidden , fave point for the climb

Found a cache here before, so I knew how to approach. Didn't check the rating before the attempt, but it is worth the stars! Very tricky and that easy.

Managed to spot it as per clue and thought I had avoided a climb when I retrieved it with an implement from ground level. After 20 minutes of trying to replace it in between cyclists I gave up and made the mad scramble. Not a bad feat for a rotund oldie. TFTC.

Looked and looked, but the co-ords wanted to put us in the water. TFTC

Having found a cache here before, I assumed I knew where to look. So up I climbed and found nothing. Down I jumped and reassed the situation.

Mmmmm.

Caught sight of something and jumped back up to make the find. Luckily no one came by, I would have looked pretty funny crouching there in my work suit.

Cheers

I remember years ago when there was a cache here so returning today I basically could remember what to expect. It took me some time to spot this one, even after one pass I couldnt spot it.

Eventually the cache was in hand.
Thanks PB

On our 20th day on holiday in Australia we stayed in the surroundings of Wollomgong. We had hired a holiday cabin very close to this cache.
The cache was easily spotted, but it took more energy to catch and log it.

Greetings from the Netherlands and TFTC.

No find today TFTC.

Cheeky Dave originally arrived here @ 5:45 the morning it published, but couldn't find it in the lack of light - he said he would return for a proper search.
Well in some serious heat today was that day It was located easy, retrieval a little more challenging though, luckily the riders don't pay too much attention.

Another one down in this series TFTC PB

Spotted it but had to get horizontal to get it. Wonder what the muggles thought?
They didn't even see me as they sped through.
