Logs
After finding numbers 1, 2 and 3 we headed out to where the track crosses the road and found a safe place to park.
We unloaded the bikes and headed off full of enthusiasm for the caching trip ahead. We suspected we wouldn't get as far as #56 but we wanted to do as many as possible.
This one was a quick find thanks to the generous clue but watch out for the ground here, Mr Beetle put his foot down and the ground collapsed under his foot. This happened behind the host object. Don't want anyone twisting an ankle or worse!!
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.

Mrs Y'stassie continued her walk through the back of the industrial area where she had to wait for several trucks to enter the the business at the end of this section. Again good coordinates and hint enabled her to make a quick find. There was water in the container but the log was dry in its plastic protection. Another blank log so another {FTF} this time at 16:15
Thanks for this cache Icybeetas. This was Mrs Y'stassies favourite hide for today.
