Karaoke Bridge II Wallsend South, New South Wales, Australia
By c.j.b on 25-Sep-07. Waypoint GC166ZV

I was waiting for the cigarette smell to leave the cache items so I wouldn't have to chuck them, but killing the cache and dropping the items into others when they come good will do.

If not replacing time to move on.

Someone dumped the contents of an entire car ashtray inside the cache (WITH SCRAPS OF PAPER WITH PEOPLE'S ADDRESSES ON IT! LOL! IDIOT!) by the looks of it, so maybe a premeditated attack by a local bogocacher.. (Which might explain why two recent caches of mine went bye-bye before their logged FTF..)

Taken home for a cleanout.

A nice easy find, after locating the mark. Some Muggle has placed rubish inside the cache, and I did'nt have time for a clean up.

TNLNSL TFTC.

well.. pretty nice cache for my first one... do you all feel special that it was my first ever cache?? you should..

anyways, got past the couple of muggles lol by beeing taught about trusses... pretty interesting. God my dad is lame.. jks, i love him.

anyways, have fun xx

As shifters said, it took us a while, then i noticed the give away!

it was hard to be discreet with the observers in the yard behind us.
but the deed was done once we could prise it off the metal.

I wonder if the owners of the house with the horse have checked out what all these people keep looking at the old bridge for?
15/17 for the day

Took us a little while before Pesky! located the hint, it then still took a little longer to locate the cache.

I came here some time ago (2 - 3 months back) and had a good look around GZ but didnt find the loot on that occasion, it was only after I checked the pocket pc I understood the error of my ways, now that the cache is back online and I was in the area I thought I'd give it another crack, I was rewarded with an instant find, the water was flowing well today too, I have signed the log, and dropped off a coin that seemed appropriate since I'm in the steel city! No swaps today though Thanks for the cache.

Found it.

I was a bit confused, as i had no idea what the logo was meant to look like, and for a while, i thought it was some random bit of graffiti, lol.

When I saw the real one I knew straight away however.

Put in a old watch

Took the half penny and travel bug. It needs to get to Europe and I’m going to some more touristy locations soon, might leave it there.

Looked for this one earlier today, even saw the clue, but completely missed the cache. Got home and thought about it for a while, then 'bingo', the penny dropped. What to numpty I was. Anyway went back, which is a 40Km round trip, and got it straight up.

Took the GC, left a TB.

TFTC.

Found in the first place I looked, which was not the last place! Unfortunately some days are like that. Interesting structure for a metallurgist.

Nice simple cache. Found quickly but felt exposed with the possibility of the muggle neighbours looking on. SL and on my way. Thanks c.j.b

The cache is back in action, with a replacement logbook. Return the cache to its sheltered location!

Taken home for repairs.

Someone had placed the cache directly where the stormwater would get to it, no wonder it was damp.

Replace the cache exactly in its 'sideways' position from now on!

A great hide. We found the bridge easily enough but after 15 minutes of searching we had to decrypt the hint. Once we did that we were on it in a flash.
The contents were rather wet. We dried everything that could be dried, removed all the cardboard packging and placed everything except the log book in a snap lock bag. We didn't have a spare notebook wth us so the damp one had to stay.
Took the Geocoin
Left a flashing light bracelet

So many possibilities but only one was correct.

Great cache. Took nothing accept a couple of lonely mossies. TFTC

This was our second find for the day as we were filling in time waiting for our mum. We found the street rather easily and could see the bridge and walked down despite the private property sign as you spoke about. When we arrived we searched for about ten minutes with no luck in the teaming rain. Then the little bro read the hint again and had an idea about the logo and we spotted it rather quickly then and logged our find. TNLN, TFTC.

A quick detour after a morning at the Wetlands Centre. Loved the logo. TNLNSL. T4TC.

We finally found it yay! 2nd cache of the day. Minime, Mrs Frogg and I had a great afternoon after the storm.

We had a nice walk from the outlaw's house to get to this cache. I can remember when this old folks home was a boys home.

This was a great cache - grats on the hide.

Great idea for a hide. Took a bit of searching then lillamum found the sign and the rest is history.
Took - Coffe Shop TB & Pirate Coin
Left - Polarity Game Gift and earplugs (for the snoring by the nearby Retirement Home occupants)

Bug Motel? Good idea-- I have a few travelbugs that I've been hanging on to for too long..

An early morning Sunday solo grab after a week of rain. Received LED keyring and can't remember what i replaced. This is the closest non-micro cache to home so would be good for us to use as a travel bug motel.

our first success wooohooo!!!
off on another mission today
thanks for the fun

Wonder how long this bridge is going to last? Saw a couple of cars go over it though. Nice quick find under the supervision of sw2092.

A very quick run in the rain to grab this one, didn't think people would still be using this old bridge when I first saw it.

Found at 11:45 - my second cache whilst visiting my old home town again.

I loved this hide. It was wise having the logo there, so as to be in and out as quickly as possible without scaring the locals - one of them crossed the bridge as I was signing the log.

Thanks c.j.b

Cache checked. It's still there.

Checked under bridge and around bridge to no avail.

2nd find for the day.

We had an extended Rat Pack along for the hunts today. While I stood back and checked the clues, the hoarde of kids we had were scampering all over the bridge hunting for the elusive prize.

They scampered a little less and decided to stand on top of the bridge after a passing local mentioned the likelihood of snakes. Nevertheless, the secret sign was spied, the cache retrieved in short order.

A calculator was swapped for an LED light, and all were pleased with themselves.

Thanks for the fun.

12:20pm WooHoo - First to find. Quite satisfying as the original cache in the area was one of my first DNFs Nice hide, can't help but feel a little exposed whilst grabbing this cache. Thanks for replacing this cache
