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.
Many thanks icybeetas, for placing this cache, the information and research on each cache page was interesting. We appreciate the time and effort gone into creating this trail.

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 walked this short section of the trail and enjoyed the changing scenery including the industrial area. It took her a little time to locate this cache even with its brightly coloured lid. It had nestled well down into the surroundings.
Thanks for another cache in this series Icybeetas. Container and contents were in good condition. Another blank log sheet so another {FTF} at 15:45
