Come Play Bridge With Me Noojee, Victoria, Australia
By FLIPPER&CO on 09-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1KJKW

Well that took some locating, I looked at 1 mtr away then thought it must be up there, so off I went, puff puff, not good for this Nana. Wazza9 called me and asked did I want to sign this. Great hide. Thanks for the adventure, a great old bridge.

TFTC,Travelling into Victoria to visit LGA's I have not visited and find new things to see as a tourist.Also bringing my finds on every calendar day to more than 15 for my milestone year on the 28th May 2025.No internet but climbed and walked before making the find.Visited trackables and added a favourite

Service was average at the site but we still managed tftc

Was a nice cache, very well placed but took us ages and some fiddling to get the logbook scroll out

Great cache, logbook was pretty well in there but a nice evening find

Great cache! Thank you!

Such a great little find. The last time I was here was back in 2016 on my heart horse, Kye (Photo attached). I lost her a few years ago, and coming back here was bitter-sweet definitely earns a favourite point from me

Log book was completely full so I have replaced with a brand new one. Everything else in tip top shape

Very good g son found it. His first tfth

What a great hiding spot! I had to use GeoBaby as a distraction to stealthily remove and replace this cache. TFTC

Found on the way back from the falls. Nice, quick and easy find.Log was damp and almost full so did not sign.

Found, great location

Cindy and Phil

Lovely location and fun hide. The log books are completely full.

Once I was on the right level it was a nice quick find. I really loved the effort put into creating this cache! I always think this is the type of thing I'll do if I make my own one day! tftc

I headed to Gippsland to see my folks in their new place today, and took the opportunity to search out a few caches on the way. Being Good Friday, there were many, many muggles here, but with half an idea of what I was looking for, once my GPS stopped leapfrogging GZ, I spied the cache. Tying my shoe for retrieval, I had a little fun trying to find a big enough margin on the very full log sheets to squeeze my name. Normally I'd add an additional log, but the micro inner wouldn't allow that. A stealthy reset, and I was on my way. TFTC FLIPPER &CO

Found the cache without to much trouble a very full log book. Tftc

Nice hiding place, great spot for a cache. Thank heaps!

Great spot. Greetings from holland.

Log book full

Log book was very full! We wrote our name along the side, but even that was difficult

Nice easy find for my youngest one. TFTC

Came back for a second look after failing earlier today, found cache pretty quickly once we got here! So hard when its so busy here! Clever hide! Tftc! Found with jackst2000

Good find with tara_jaye had no service on first attempt went into noojee had a bite to eat read hint headed back left my phone logged in to navigate luckily kept service and saved the day

Found it with Dalit on 16/12. No internet reception so it was pure luck. TFTC!

Looked everywhere couldnt find it bad wifi

Log so full! Very cute and random lucky find! TFTC

---Mr SKI had not visited the trestle bridge before or didn't remember visiting, so it was great o look at it closely then climb up and cross. A favourite from us for a hide that was well-crafted and a great location.We had the chance to head out into our local area to do some caching and revisit some areas we have not been to for some time. Some lovely areas visited and found a few things we had not seen before.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache FLIPPER&CO.**SKI Pair****Greetings from traveling Australians.

Cool spot. The kids found it quite easily

Well hidden

This cache is absolutely amazing so creative and fantastic execution with a very nice hint definitely deserves a favourite TFTC find 156

Clever

Brilliant, gee this had me stumped.

So cool

Took a while. Looked both twice up and under the bridge. TFTC.

Found it

Found this on a great trip around this area. Nice to be able to go up onto the bridge again. I liked the hide.

Driving this area is always a pleasure and on a sunny Sunday arvo what could be better. We got here a bit before dusk bit decided to go find the one nearby first as there were so many muggles about. After coming back and waiting half an hour for everyone to clear out (aeriously, how long does it take to say goodbye get in the car and leave) we soon had this one found TFTC

Thanks for the cache Flipper and Co,
Tried for this one a number of times, failing each time for one excuse or another...... Too many Muggles.......no phone reception.....
This time I walked in from Noojee, made sure I checked the CO page while the phone still had a signal and thoroughly searched both levels....and didn't find it!
I went back into town to fail at finding the one at the railway station, then came back again, having read some logs and looking at the hint,..... And found it....hooray!!!
Well constructed and placed cache, a favourite for me.
Regards from Victourer

Cool easy find

Found this while out with the family for thr day.

Very sneaky

Looked both on top of the bridge and below the bridge.

Took a while, did the fitness loop checking all the angles. My muggle mates were no help. Then something stood out for me about 6m away from where my GPS was pointing.

After a number of attempts at this cache over the last few years i finally managed to find it.
But i need to admit i didnt ACTUALLY find it myself, i was out and about with Smokey Bear talking rubbish and grabbing a few smilies just because WE COULD and after listening to my rant abojt how many times id missed this cache we drove up? Got out of car and walk to the OFFENDING location and pointed ...
.... SERIOUSLY !?? "THERE"
Im an IDIOT !!!!!!
Actually stunningly easy and tftc ..
I THINK !!!

And cheers Smokey

Yay! Our first cache as a family. Creative spot. Took us a little while (but we are novices). Thanks for the great time

Such a beautiful spot for a cache and creative hide thanks!

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to FLIPPER&CO for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

YAY - found 'Come Play Bridge With Me' today. Was in town to try out the Noojee Pub with friends and discovered that there may have been a cache or two nearby so off I went. After a few scratches of the head, then a walk across the bridge to think things through and a few more head scratches, I turned on Big Bertha Garmin 'cos I wasn't sure if the phone app was playing nicely under the trees. Plugged in the co-ords and found that my phone and Bertha had me at the same spot. MMM - more head scratching and then - AAAHHHH - is that it? Could it be? AND it was - an absolutley ingenious hide around this structure. Stealth was required today as many car loads of muggles decided that today was the day to visit the Noojee Trestle Bridge - just my luck. The cache was safe and sound in its hidey hole. TFTC Flipper&CO. The log was signed, cache replaced and I was off.

PS: The Troll Dolls [TN6TR0] were with me on my great Noojee adventures today.

Found it

On a mission to complete virtual task and thought I would give this cache a go. It was my last cache for the day after many km driving around Neerim caching. I walked in from the information centre about 2km along the path... highly recommend this walk the path is very nice. I was slightly wiry so I didn't have much hope with so many possibilities but suprisingly my GS were on point I honed in and located cache within a minute of reaching GZ I was quite surprised and impressed with the hide -and well the location speaks for itself.well worthy of all the fav points including mine.

Nice cache and great placement. TFTC

Another beautiful spot. Happy to bring mango mermaid here for her first time and also sharing adventures with geodad brigstar

Had me going for a while, then I persisted and found the clever hide. We are here in Noojee today to celebrate my husbands birthday. Lovely visiting small country towns during the week, no one is around. Perfect for caching!

Not sure how many years since I last searched for this one but very happy to finally give it a smiley. The bridge is open, but I’m very confused about the “10 person” capacity of the bridge..??

The Trestle Bridge is still closed with all entries locked by gates. So, although you can get close enough to see the bridge; you can't get anywhere near the GZ to look for this cache.

We came, we got to the closed gate, we saw the area closed for repairs, we left disappointed.

First approached and had a poor search. Went away and came back, found it straight away
Just needed a change of mind and a change of mood.

Found it! We visited here on the way home after a great day of walking with the Walkabouters in the area. After checking several locations both high and low I found it! TFTC SL

Found at 5:13 pm.
A long term multi location project brought us to Mt Baw Baw today. We had been meaning to do it for a while so chose this weekend. It was lovely on arrival, 11 degrees, thick fog, light rain and very strong winds that instantly inverted the umbrella so that didn't get a lot of use. Oh well, at least it wasn't snowing. The drive up here was ok with the awesome road holding and handling of the ute, however I had to pull over a couple of times to let the Porsche, Lamborghini and BMW M3 car club groups fly past.
I had only been up here once on a freezing cold day to do the LGA challenge and grab one cache and go so it was nice to walk up to the summit and check out all the ski runs.

We were heading back towards home now and we were driving right past here so had to stop. After a couple of minutes the nicely camouflaged cache was located.

Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

We searched a while and then suddently found it.

On my way down to Gippsland for a few days for work, but had time for a detour and caching fun.
Found after a short search, cheers for the cache.

The sun was shining and I really needed to get out the house so I did, A nice drive through the forest was just what I needed. I did come here a few months back with My Mum but the carpark was so full we could not even park so we kept going, today was a different story, had a real quick find spotted it as I walked towards GZ.

Thanks flipper&co for the cache.

Find 2 of 3 for the day and #2246 in total.
Found by Spice! (Echo 1 - Spice 1)

Having read previous logs we had an inkling on what we were looking for but after a search below we started thinking it may be above but after a search there we still hadn’t managed to get our hands on it.
We returned to the car for a drink, headed back out and there it was...
The ants certainly have found a comfortable home.

(“\(0o0)/“) Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the caching fun!

Too many muggles around and gps made it difficult

Found on a quick stopover though the area. Would have loved to walk over the bridge but I left that for another day. The GPS bounced around a lot and I had it narrowed down to 3 piers but which one? I had an inkling of what I may have been looking for and sure enough, that’s what the cache container was but naturally it was in the last place I looked. Thanks for a nice hide in a beautiful spot!

Found it with the Warrens

Love the bridge! Busy here today!

It was going to be cracking weather in Victoria today so we decided to head out bush and enjoy some caching in the sun.

I love the trestle bridge in Noojee. I had visited a couple of times whilst camping in the area but never for the purposes of caching! This was a clever hide which was helped by having a previous finder at our side. Great reason to revisit the bridge and put pen to paper.

Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the cache.

I was here back mid 2019 but for some reason, didn't log this find. Back again today and made the find again so making sure it is logged this time. Clever cache. Thanks for placing it and bringing us here. Always happy to visit again.

A gorgeous day for a road trip, exploring with Mrs Papi4506 & RoamingHowie.
With quite a few muggles around, this could have taken a lot longer than it did. Having a previous finder amongst us was a bonus also. Very clever hide, and wonderful location! Another case of "I'd probably not have seen this had it not been for caching". A fav point heading your way.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, FLIPPER&CO

No luck here for us today

Oops no luck here for us today.

Couldn't find

Great hide! Clever

Dnf. Lots of people and GPS was all over the place

Super clever and fun hide!! Our family searched high and low for a quite a while, when just as we were about to give up, the 10y/o made the find! Well worthy of a favourite point TFTC!

Very clever!!

Found it after a bit of searching, TFTC!

Truly a-spectacular sight! After abandoning the search I came back on account of the Virtual in town and gave it another crack - checked the hint this time and noticed the very tricky fun little hide soon enough. After a convoluted car trade in decided to head towards Mt Baw Baw for a get used to the new wheels drive. Never got to Baw Baw in the time frame due to a few distractions! Lovely country and nice finD. TFTC

Find #1079 @12:30

It felt like half of Melbourne were out exploring this amazing part of the world today.

A very satisfying find with friends. TFTC!

Felt a bit awkward looking with so many other people visiting the bridge

Excellent hiding spot! Found it after much head scratching.

Nice hide found with kids. Didn’t have a pen, but replaced.

Thanks for the catch!

Last time we were here the rain interrupted our search but I am sure I searched in the right location. This time I was able to make the find.

Thanks FLIPPER&CO for the cache.

After a long night of Nightcaching, I was up and ready to smash out some more caches before the Ahomburgs event at the nearby falls begins at lunch time.

Pulling up into the carpark I had the whole reserve to myself... wonderful this is gonna be a quick and easy find, to which it was hooray. So after taking some photos I was off and ready for the next cache. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure.

Luckily we had Grub62 & Bunadoorian with us for this one as I had absolutely no reception and Steve’s phone wasn’t playing nicely. At GZ, the sneaky cache was found, and as the logbook was full, Grub62 provided a new sheet and somehow managed to fit both logs back in the cache.

I love this area. Thank you FLIPPER&CO for bringing us back.

On the way home from Mt Baw Baw I thought we would stop here to have a look at the trestle bridge. As we pulled up Bunadoorian said there's a cache here. As we walked towards the bridge we caught up with knight_shift who were having reception trouble so off we went together. Luckily they came along as while we were all searching -they were the ones to find this well hidden cache. Now seeing the log book full - I raced back to the car and got another sheet.The two logs are now placed together! TFTC FLIPPER&CO

After attending ahomburg’s 10 year as a cacher event up at the falls it was time to head towards home but as they say there is always time for one more find, but in my case it might have been a few more finds.
I have visited this bridge before in pre caching days but it was great to come back and have another walk along it.
This one was a tricky one to find and I looked in quiet a few spots before I noticed something and I was able to add my name.
As I was signing the log sheet ahomburg and becNmonts turned up and as they had already found it I replaced the cache and we headed off to the next one together.

Thanks FLIPPER&CO TFTC.

Today we found Come Play Bridge With Me on our travels. After ahomburg’s 10 year event today we ventured to a few local caches. The Chief squeezed our name onto the log, sorry we didn’t have a spare on us.
Thanks FLIPPER&CO for being part of our geocaching fun.

I made the trek to the wrong level. But luckily for me I was with friends that were on the correct level so the logbook was signed and the cache was found in good condition. An additional logbook was left as the old one was full. TFTC.

Well it's good to finally log this cache. I've tried several times over the last few years, but could never find it. After reading back through heaps of previous logs, I had an idea of where I should look, and what I should find.
Today Team Crustyvarmint took a drive to Noojee, and we spent some time looking. Even with my newfound enthusiasm, I wasn't having any luck until Mrs Cv found it. Crusty K9 couldn't care less as she was enjoying the stream.
Thanks Flipper&co. Well done.

The log sheet is full, but I didn't have anything with me to replace it.
Could the next person please take along another sheet.

Last one before heading home. Busy little car park here!

On a 41°C day, day1976 and I headed out here to noojee to get the nearby virtual and then cool off in the river, and on the way home we stopped here so I could get this one, as Day semi remembered where it was. Still stinking hot at 7pm, we looked for a short while and then Day found it. Then back into the air-conditioned car.

Caching in and around the area we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.

Cache and contents in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Frankenstein had one just like this.

What a magical place. It was a quick find once we looked in the right place. Dashed in between rain showers.
