Description
A black painted repurposed container.
A definition from Wikipedia: "The part of town that is not inhabited by the wealthy (from municipalities where the sections were divided by the railroad tracks). An area where the working class, poor or extremely poor live. He grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, but he made a success of himself."
This traditional cache is in an area divided by railway tracks and on the other side from a parking area. The only access to the pull off area is while travelling east, please don't try from the other side of the highway. You'll need to stay alert during your search as this is a working railway line. Good luck

Straight forward find after a not straight forward descent in the grass slope down to the tracks. Cache in good condition. TFTC
Was in Burnie this morning checking out some stuff for Father’s Day.
On our way back to penguin we called it to finally tick this one off our to do list.
Everything was in good dry condition and the rain was holding off so we could grab this one.

Hello and TFTC. Took a little while, then sadly way too wet to sign. Nice hide and container, but not too waterproof it seems.
Thanks though.
Found with AlbyDangles on Day Two of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey or Bust" tour.
Cheers, EPs

Hi Sharnies Tribe,
Stopped by this one on the way back from seeing a client in Romaine, was hoping for the log to be dry but unfortunatly with all the wet weather at the moment everything inside the cache container was soaked.
If i had more time i would have dried it out with the great sunshine today, but i needed to be back at work to go out on another job.

Found this one this afternoon while on the way back from seeing a client at Burnie. When I opened the zip lock bag the log book was soaked and I couldn’t sign my name, I didn’t have time dry the log out so I will come back another day to sign our name. TFTC
Having found the 5 geocaches we set out to do today we decided it was too early and too hot to leave the coast with its cooler temperature so we checked out the GCA map and decided this one wasn't too far away so we would try for it too.
It took a little while to spot as we were searching at too high an elevation at first.
Thanks.

Checked on the cache today and moved it a short distance east of the original coordinates. New coordinates are S41 04.057 E145 58.271
Quick find thanks to the tree that the cache is in having died (No Leaves)
Maybe this cache will need to be moved due to this?

Arrived at the convenient parking spot and took for GZ. Great little spot where no-one can see you...unless a train was to come past. Consulted the hint and soon had the cache...not in hand, but spotted. Grabbed the log, signed away, and then replaced it before heading back to the car for the next one.....which I think had a bit of altitude....maybe.
Anyways, thanks for this one Sharnie's Tribe.

This one tricked me initially as went too far but the coords soon had me in the right zone and a peep inside spotted the well hidden cache. Cache and contents are in top condition.
Many thanks Sharnie's Tribe for the top hide...cheers ST.

When notification came through of the publication of this cache, we considered that it may be an opportunity to find a Dragon Zone cache for today to continue our solstice challenge. So this morning, after completing some other tasks, Mr y'stassie headed off to a familiar location. After checking carefully that there wasn't a train in the immediate vicinity, he headed down the very slippery (dry grass) bank and across the track. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. The bonus was that no-one else had yet visited the cache - so we will claim FTF at 11:10am. As he started to head back, a train whistle was heard but in hindsight, the train was well away as sounds were carrying quite a distance in the humid conditions this morning. Thanks sharnie's tribe for another well placed cache.
