My apologies everyone but I didn't have the chance to replace the cache and have since moved interstate. I would be happy to see someone else use it for a cache.
Found a micro magnet on the ground in front of GZ, but no cache! Reattached the magnet to the structure. Help needed.
Had no luck with this one, checked the entire area with a bright torch, shame as its a nice place.
Revisited cache with friend. Cache is no longer there. Must of been stolen or blew away. Please replace this awesome cache.
The start of a big trek with patches108 and Riley Fisher
Lots of fun starting with this small cache

Found this one without any dramas before setting out towards the tunnel.
Construction of seat is very clever!
Thanks for the cache.

Finally got to this one with few muggles around it is a very busy little spot.
Found whilst out for a ride on my bike with geotoddler. Find was too easy. Saw it before I even stopped the bike.
Tftf. Took a while to find being new to the game. I didn't think a geocache could be that small.
I was very lucky, put my hand on it straight away, had to wait to put it back as muggle stopped right beside me.
Nice to sign a nano when there logs are empty as it's easier to replace.
Was able to find and log with nobody passing by at the time.

After a busy day had time for one cache and decided on this one. Spent about 15 minutes looking and squashing small snails when I found one that wouldn't squash, the cache. Not too many mauggles about this late in the afternoon so quickly signed log and replaced. Thanks morfergus.
Sorry everyone, been out of caching for a while after my daughter was born. Now she is old enough to join in and I noticed this one was missing, I replaced it today. So the cache is ready to go and again and be found by all those who choose to enjoy the Fernleigh Track.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.
I had a good look also today but didn't find it.
I think this one might be gone.
mordergus ... please check your cache.

Looked and Looked but couldn't find anywhere on the two benches. Found a suspious looking hole though......
morfergus please check your cache

Tried this today while caching on the track. Looked carefully everywhere and I am well accustomed with nano caches of all sorts have laid out some myself. Not to be found on either of the two benches. Hasn't been found in a while either, my guess it is gone....
Great bike track & a few good caches , this one, however needs a new log as the old one is over flowing.
Found geocycling with TimboC. The log is overfull and we could barely fit our little symbols. TFTC
This one needs a tune up log is full and overflowing and the container is a bit sad too.
Found quickly but very hard to get it open ,Had to take it back to the car and use a set if pliers to open it. After finally getting to the log ,I then couldn't find a vacant spot on it to sign. It's chocker block full.

Great little container these, but the log really is over flowing. Excellent spot for a rest and a cache. Thanks morfergus.
I sat back and took in the scenery . No trains and accompanied by AstroTom after doing some shopping at Kotara. Clear skies from TeamAstro.
Boy do they zoom along here, container is more grey than black these days Log book is full SL TFTC
Reperio at 1640. Parked nearby and ran up the stairs to GZ. No muggles around and so after a quick search, the pesky little cache was found.
Gratias.

What a small cache. As others have said it needs a new log as the one that is there is full. Only just had enough room to sign. TFTC.
That was a great initial geocaching experience!
Will need a new log as the current one is full.

This was my first cache and first find. Tiny little thing.
Nearly got muggled by a couple of 5yr old kids on scooters.
No room left on log so couldn't log my find...

Wow. So small. Only had two mini muggles to tend with. Quick find. Good excuse for a walk. No room to log find though on tiny roll of paper.
Stoped by and grabed this cache I must bring my bike and ride this track It looks great.

Found signed and replaced while 50+ muggles went past. Then back onto my bike and more trail & caches. Thanks.
A lovely walking track here being enjoyed by several people. Once they had cleared the cache was a quick find in my second choice. Thanks Morfergus.
found on second attempt. underestimated just how MICRO this cache was. great hide. tftc.
We found Fernleigh Rest (GC1H5XB) on a Very Windy Bank Holiday Monday with Ruffas and Travelling Wilkos, our 28th of 46 finds and our 1320th overall find. Wilko had this one dusted before I caught up with him.. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache, morfergus. Deputy D0g.
12:25, 29 of 48 attempted on our Bank Holiday Newscatle Cachefest. I bolted up the hill to find the Nano as Rags had already done this one. By the time I had filled in the log DD arrived.

I've walked my dog along here without realising there was a cache here!!! Great hide, very small cache.
I love the old railway tunnel nearby, cachers should check it out.

Great little hide and easy find to start of a lovely walk along the Fernleigh track and Glenrock area.
Sat back and watched the bike riders whiz past and used some stealth in a quick break of traffic.
(Find 5)

Third time lucky! This cache is tiny, but I still should have found it the other times. Well hidden. TFTC - and the exercise!
SO SMALL! This has to be my favourite cache so far. Amazing that the log fits. TFTC
Wow, tiny cache but didn't take long to find although I almost passed it by. TFTC.
Our first for the day, our first cycling cache and my birthday! What more could you ask for! TFTC!
Soon found the right area and chatted with a little old man, who we calculated was sitting right on top of GZ. He told us about the track and the trains he used to ride on all the way to Redhead. Anyway, we then headed off for other caches and returned to find the cache when the sun no longer warmed the Gentleman's seat. TNLN, but thanks for the hide. We are really getting to know a lot about the Fernleigh track.
The rains came down as we parked the car. Never let a bit of rain come between me and a cache, TFTC
It was hard to get crystal warrior out of the car as it was pouring rain. Out with the umbrella and away. Thankfully a quick find!
We managed to park the car within 50m of this one [thanks to Marco using Google Earth beforehand] - so we didn't actually get to see much of the Fernleigh Track. We had to "rest" for a while as there were a few more energetic muggles than us - but one they had passed we quickly found the cache. TNLNSL TFTC
Found by Mary & David at 1040. An impressive walking trail winding through pockets of urban vegetation. A nice quick find. Our thanks to Morfergus.
