This one must have been in our GSAK DB still unfound. Found it today, still there in previouslly described condition. thanks riptide
This cache is trashed. Nano lid is gone. Log is both full and is saturated, and crumbled further as I signed it under Orrsome's log. Needs replacing, as it noted in previous maintenance requests. Quick find though - it's in almost full view if you look in the right spot. TNLN TFTC
If maintenance not done, will need to be archived, as log is full and there is no lid for container.
A quick find knew straight away where to look for this one. Had a quick read and was off TFTC
Quick find on the way home after finding nearby Accidental Views Cipher. TFTC Forgot to mention that the log is full and needs replacing
Found in the place described by the most recent preceding log. very hot but quite peaceful here. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
This is a great cache which shows off a bit of history at the same time. Unfortunately we found the cache without its top and no magnet holding it in place (it is just jammed in so has to be carefully extracted).
Out of house , look beautiful day.... I drive to around to kurri Kurri for geocaching...
Top Lid missing and new repair pls.. Hide well.. thank

On a day trip around the area, we found this one quite easily in a lovely spot. TFTC
TFTC! Great spot! Took us a while. I was in fact staring right at it but couldn't see it. Log nearly full.
Found at 1:26 PM GAFF2. We were surprised that we couldn't find it last time. Maybe we didn't know that it was a nano? This time we walked straight up to it and - voila a cache! Log sheet is full.
Thanks Riptide.
Thanks Riptide.
Found on a trip out to Wollombi. We looked at the spot a few times before SJ/T spotted it. TFTC
Found this while staying in the area for a weeks visit. Thanks Riptide for bringing me to this interesting bridge.
On a motorcycle ride from Melbourne, following the Aust Speedway champs, I picked up this cache. tftc.

Found with paulyman on our way back from visiting the Hunter Valley for the weekend. Quick find, TFTC.
We were in the area this weekend for a wedding, so after the wedding we thought we would do a bit of caching.
Many thanks for the neat hide in a cool spot.

I was out in the area teaching beginners to how change co-ords and thought it should pop over and grab this one.
It actually took me a while to find this, but I was looking straight at it the whole time. Safe to say I face palmed when I realised that was the cache. Not sure how I didn't see it!

Took a while to get the log out, and then had some troiuble getting the cache to stay so that it didn't fall down to the brook.

After having been to Austar Colliery this afternoon I decided to go and look for some caches after finding Accidental Cipher Views I stopped at this one on the way back out.
After pretending to look at the sign about the bridge while a muggle drove past the cache was located and the log signed I have trouble rolling these little suckers back up.
Thanks to Riptide for this cache

Good site.
Saw it almost at once but didn't recognise it for ten minutes, although I've seen this sort many times. Some of us learn from our mistakes - we can repeat them perfectly.

NANO !! Great hide .... took GeoGrandad for his first cache, we ended up down with the cows for a bit as the GPS wouldn't settle. Found it, signed the log and replaced. TFTC Riptide
After spending the morning at the Maitland markets it was time to do some caching. We were organized today and even had a list of caches we were hoping to find. This was one of them and we enjoyed the hunt. Little sucker - we were careful not to drop.
Thanks to Riptide.

A beautiful sunny day to watch water passing below. TFTC.Found this one while on a caching run around Millfield area .Nice bridge I don't think this one will wash away in a hurry quick find and sign Thanks Riptide for the hide lots of hiding places here
I was still warming up the GPS when MrsFish held the tiny cache out to show me. I then spent time reading about the bridge's history. Thanks for the hide.
Eventually.....in the rain......I was looking for something bigger so PAF who was in a course and wasn't taking calls..... and then I had another look and found it and then the rains came down so there I was huddled over to protect the log, all well, signed and replaced then back to the car dripping wet, just as well I dressed in quickdry today. Thanks Riptide.
Quick and easy find!!
Had some spare time so I slammed a few quick caches!!

After our massive effort of 56 caches the previous day, we decided to take a leisurely trip home along the scenic route. This was the first cache we hit along that scenic route.
A quick find for bikerbuddy to start our day off.
Thanks Riptide

This was the first of eight caches for me as we headed home along with backroads from Newcastle to the Blue Mountains. A nice easy find and a pretty creek. Thanks

After an enjoyable walk up to 'Barraba Trig' this morning, I came by here to grab this one. Parked down the road and walked back to GZ, and just as I got there, I turned to see a fairly large black snake slithering up onto the footpath from the adjacent rocks. I quickly stepped out of the way, and I think he got a bit of a fright as he quickly turned and went under the bridge. Once I was happy the coast was clear, I wandered back to make the find. Interesting read of the sign.
Gratias Riptide.

On a trip to the Hunter with aniisawesome to visit a winery. But would we sit around? NO SIR! We HAD to go for a few caches. We braved the rain!
---------------------------------------------
A nice quick find. It was pouring at this stage and aniisawesome's mum made a big fuss about how wet we were!

Can remember when this was one of the dodgy-est bridges in NSW, Interesting to learn a bit of the history. TFTC.

Found today at 4:15pm. Enjoyed being supervised by a group of cows across the road.
Brook very swollen today after all the rain, with two moorhens enjoying the paddle.

Sometimes people’s logs can throw you, after I completed this cache I had a lough at vodka67 log. TFTC / TFTH / SL
Visited my Nephew who is building a house not far from GZ.Waste not want not. Easy find if you don't drop it TFTC Gotcha16
Parked and then a short walk to GZ. Spied the cache and carefully retrieved signed the log and replaced. A nice piece of history to go along with the cache, thanks.
We stopped to find this one on our way to find some caches in Wollombi. We parked near the bridge and walked along towards GZ. We waited until a few passing cars had gone by before we had a quick look and found the cache. After reading the previous log, we were very cautious about dropping the cache! TNLNSL TFTC
Mr Chippyroo thought a frog was the cache as it was having a sleep at GZ! He nearly had a heart attack when it moved. He accidentally dropped the cache into the rock blanket below. We tried to locate it but it's well and truly gone. Luckily we carry a few spares and have replaced it. It is a different colour though. TFTC
1st one today on a Sunday drive. Parked on the wrong side of the bridge. Under the bridge is pretty seedy. Nice hide and i dont know why it took so long to find. Must be going blind LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Found @ 1250 (posted 2/4/12 - SORRY)
Returning from a decent hike on the long weekend in the Mt Yengo region with Pathfinders.
Took a while to retrieve the NANO cap - oooops!!

Was passing through while doing some OSM mapping...
It had me stumped for a while... but then I noticed the description mentioning a _nano_ cache...

OH it is there and was found inside of 30 seconds of arriving at GZ. It does however blend in well with its natural surrounds a quick sign of the log and off back to the car for another find.

No luck for us too. We had to abandon the search because of the rain. 
Thanks for the hunt.
Thanks for the hunt.DNF - we searched all the nooks and crannies and cleared out a lot of cob webs. Met the local cattle and even experienced a rain storm. too good for us if it is still there.
