We were going passed this spot so had to stop and have a look. As she walked Mrs Y'stassie noticed the owner of a property bordering the trail has removed the fence and has been using the trail to move machinery around. Again she was able to make a quick find at GZ. Like the previously found caches the container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for another cache in this series ICYBEETAS. We hope to eventually find all your caches this Rail Trail. With the wind still blowing a gale and bark and sticks falling we decided to err on the side of caution and leave the remaining caches for future visits.

Another quick find and another generous clue.
Still easy riding.
Thanks ICYBEETAS.

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

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.

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 bonus ftf here with a blank log.
