Over the Top Spotswood, Victoria, Australia
By Robmc on 20-Nov-23. Waypoint GCAGKXR

After attending the COTY awards and GVI's 10th Birthday celebration nearby, I sought out some local caches before heading home. Whilst the approach to GZ was straightforward and free of muggles, a final hurdle made retrieval somewhat more complicated. Undaunted, access was achieved and the well tucked away cache located. The excellent hint certainly helped. All in good dry condition. TFTC

Took a stroll over with spiffy and Sims_family. The clue was excellent and we became creative so we could access the cache.Thanks for the cache Robmc.

Out and about today on the weekend heading towards the Victorian caching awards dinner and left myself plenty of time so stopped by a few caches on the way and this was one of them.Still had plenty of time before the awards so walked from the awards over to here with Sims Family and McLookers. After a little rearranging of an obstacle in our way we were soon signing the log thanks to the excellent hint.Thanks Robmc for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

I was on my way to the cache of the year awards dinner across the road and deliberately left home early so I time to grab the nearby caches on the way. I had arrived at the Dinner event and the Bowlers were still finishing up. There was just enough time to walk over here before we were due to start. As I walked across the carpark I crossed paths with spiffy- for the third time today. He decided he would join me in the hunt. not long after that we passed McLookers in their car. She too thought another find was a great idea. A few hundred meters later we were "Over the Top" An obstacle was in our way but that was soon overcome and our prize was in hand.Thank you Robmc for the hide

Yes tftc

Driven under this one plenty of times too and from the city, but today is my first chance to check out the bridge. Took a bit of poking around but the helpful hint had this pristine cache in hand without too much trouble, tftc

TFTC:). A cool newish bridge and overpass. Enjoyed the views of the road below and the find.C.C

Out and about with omegaman, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today.Thanks Robmc for the cache.

too good

Found by caughtatwork on 06/10/2024 at 2:40:00 PMA quick find (after finding the clasp of what we suspect was the original sistema container). Took nothing, left nothing.Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.*Overall Experience: 3*GAFF1

O

No

Yay! A whisker from giving up again and suddenly spotted it. Thanks!

Thanks

This cache was indeed missing.It is now replaced, and ready to be found again.

Suspect this one has been moved.

Ahhh searched for ages but no luck. Well be back though.

Unless me and my friend are bad at looking I think it's been moved. we could not find it at all. We used the hint navigation, even put the coordinates Into google maps and just could not find it.

I found it

Took a while but found it in the end

Found it!!!

Found itTFTH

A quick find for us. TFTC

Long weekend at home made the opportunity to pick up a few local caches.

I was headinf from Willy to Spotty.Why not make a quick pit stop.The overpass is certainly different these days.A quick find when I looked in the right spot!TFTC

Found at 12:58It for a few caches on my way home this afternoon. Back finally today after failing to find this when it was published. Found quickly today with the updated coords and hint.Thanks Robmc for the cache

I found this cache on my Mega Walk #20 - a 20,000 step walk around Yarraville and Spotswood. On approaching this one, I thought that it would be a good place to see some of the finished works on the freeway upgrades from the top. Yeah, not much in the way of views out of those tiny holes. The cache was nice though. We found the old cache called 'Freeway Views' by 'Wallyhunt' on the then nearby old bridge way back in 2009. Thanks from D B-A

The view from inside the bridge may be blocked off but the view on its rampjust wow

Found after a short search. Hint was useful, shame the view of the city is blocked off.

Easy one

Good chance to explore newish walk bridge across the West Gate Freeway.

Funny...Zsolt atya a !!!

TFTC on this new bridge. Missing the views to the city.

Thanks!

Found by The Empire A quick, after work, round up of a few caches in the inner west for Leap Day! Luckily left these for days like this - this is 100% the reason I rarely go for FTFs anymore. Days come along where I need to find a few after work for a souvenir, I didn't have to travel more than 30 minutes from home to grab them! Another familiar area but a brand new bridge! They really don't want people throwing things off this thing. Thanks for the cache Robmc.-M

Not much of a view, but an impressive structure., l

Almost ran out to find this one when it was published, but held on to it for a day like today: to fill another hole in our Finds by Found Date calendar. TFTC

Pretty fun find! Had to use the hint unfortunately, but found it right after. TFTC

So happy to turn a sad face into a happy one. Thanks to rob for assistance.

Thanks to Robmc for this interesting hide over the freeway.An amazing structure with beams going in so many directions.Good to see the mesh above our heads but the grafitti still got done on the Melbourne side, the spray painters are taking a big risk hanging over the edge.All quiet while we found the cache and signed the log.

Good one! Thanks

Good

Nice found with theodore_von_otterum and hengy_sweet_tea

Nice cache cool spot

Been under it a million times .Good to finally see what its like from above.TFTC Robmc

I have driven underneath this bridge numerous times and now I get a chance to walk across it after figuring how to get to the stairs.I wonder if they will ever finish these roadworks along the Westgate Fwy.I had a look for this one the day after it was published on the way home from work but came up with nothing.So a turn trip today was planned after work so I could have another go at looking for it since it has a few more findson it.Used the clue and walked straight up to it.Waited for a couple of muggle to finish their walk across and then I soon added my name to the log.Thank Robmc TFTC.

Too hard

Hard

Done

Too hard

Sorry for the mix up I did not find it

this was a fun one because i ride over this bridge often and only noticed a cache was very nearby TFTC

Quick find second time around!

Up high

Good find

Tyftc really quick find going on a 2 hour bus ride while Im ten thanks

I could not find this one last week, but may have been distracted by the very real threat of a thunderstorm. Today made short work of the find. Woo Hoo.

Continuing the loop walk, I am getting quite tired need to head back towards the car and rest for the rest of the day. Quick find at GZ.

*Tenth Day Of Christmas Rainy Cache Bikearama #9*Why? Cos we're crazy.What a shame! The security measures here totally spoil the view.Thanks heaps for the cache!

# 21556. With it being New Year's Day and knowing that the roads would be very very quiet we ventured out to start our caching year and for Rob to do some maintenance. Successful mission on all counts.2TF on this cache - last found in November. These overpasses are pretty amazing. Rob took new coordinates here this morning so it should be easier to find now..Thanks Robmc

Coordinates changed from:S 37 49.459 E 144 52.350Coordinates changed to:S 37 49.468 E 144 52.348Distance from original: 55.5 feet or 16.9 meters.I hadn't realised that this bridge made such a good Faraday Cage! We used 2 GPSrs and took several readings to try and give better co-ords. Also the clue has been updated and the size increased. Sorry about this.Robmc.

I had a decent search, but found nothing. Too much Xmas cheer has addled my brain. I will watch this one.

Excited by the prospect of a new cache in our neighborhood but no success after a prolonged hunt

Looked on both sides in all the nooks and crannies could not find

Not Found at 05:50I awoke to find no logs still on this new one so came across for a look on my way to work. GPS reception wasn't great so I poked around all the nooks that matched the hint for a fair distance on both sides but couldn't locate the cache. I had another poke on the way back to the car with the same result.Thanks Robmc. I'll try again another time.

TFTC! 20 November 2023 10:17:10 pm 6428 {FTF}A bit tired but checked my email at 9:15pm and saw this published. Asked the other half to come along, and no fuss. Traffic was good, and we made it in good time. However thats when the fun started! Up and down trying to match the hint. Saw one muggle who did ask us if we were ok! 35 minutes later the other half made the find! Tough work for a Monday night! Glad we didnt try this one when lots of people around!
