A quick find here by Mr Beetle after jumping off the bike and racing up the little hill. Thanks.
Today Mr T and Mr W (whitewebbs) tackled this trail and thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Loading up the trailer with their pushbikes, Mrs T & Mrs W dropped them off at #56 and collected them 5 hours later in Scottsdale.

Mr T from Tassie Trekkers and Mr W decided to tackle this well set up series of caches on the NETRTrail. It was a great day to be out riding. The better halves dropped them off at 10.15 at No. 56 and collected them at No. 01 five hours later. The effort in setting this series up is appreciated as well as the information added to each cache page. The well detailed hints were appreciated. TFTC

Ventured out to the NERT today in the great company of icybeetas.
It's been over 5 months now since completing the section up Billycock Hill.
No problems with the weather today, being quite sunny.
Set off from the lowest pt in the trail on Tonganah Rd.
All caches were easily found and all in top condition.
A big thank you to icybeetas for a tremendous series of caches along an iconic railway....thoroughly enjoyed...cheers ST.

As noted by 2y'stassies the GZ and cache have been destroyed by trail maintenance (slashing). The cache has been replaced in a new location. Coordinates and hint have been updated.
As Mrs Y'stassie approached this cache she became aware that this section of the cutting had been recently slashed and all the vegetation, including small trees and gorse had been chewed up in the process. She wa about to climb the bank when she spotted something familiar lying among the remnants of the cut vegetation. On closer inspection she found the log sheet intact in a half shredded plastic bag. She then inspected the vegetation more closely and found pieces of the container and its lid. As she did not have a replacement container with her she took the log sheet and will contact the CO. {FTF} at 16:43
Thanks for this cache Icybeetas. This one will definitely need attention.
