The Singing Bridge....la lala lalaaa Hawks Nest, New South Wales, Australia
By MADSTARS on 06-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1TB0T

Due to a baby on the way I wont get a chance to go over and replace the cache.

couldn't find the cache turned over every rock in all the little caves even had some woodbee geocacher with us but only found a small disc which may have been in the cache, so we put back all the rocks so that the boadwalk would not collapse.

We couldnt find the container. Like others we found some blue chalk and a red disc or spinning toy that may have been part of the cache.

Will have to go and check up on this cache soon.

I will wait for a second DNF before making the journey.

I believe this cache has been muggled.

Im more than sure I found where it should have been but there was nothing there but a space where the cache would have been.

Found a few small items around the area which looked like some blue chalk and a red spinning top looking thing. Didnt find the container or log book or any other items which looked like they belonged in a cache though.

It was muggled. Found trace of it, but not the cache itself. What a shame.

A quick find in an area that we have been many times before but not for caching. Thanks for the cache MADSTARS. Racking up the clicks in the Silver Bullet.

Great hide, found with Tamykian.

Another M&M container I am sure Madstars is after the golden M&M container award (lol). Wonderful location have been here many times boating and fishing but my first time here caching...Nice hide SL TFTC Tamykian

found this one with PPRASS

(actually they did)

the bridge was not singing today
but certainly was a nice hide
(but no match for the 4000+ caching experience of PPRASS)

certainly PPRASS were very organised cachers
see the photo of the back of their caravan

fattyacid and family

Found at 4.55pm GAFF!. In the company of fattyacid it was quite a windy afternoon but we didn't hear or see any bridges singing. Just cars zooming and fattyacid kids chirping. We were expecting a ttough hide and search from the description, but luckily it was found in the first place we looked - - good co-ords.
Thanks MADSTARS

What luck, today the howling wind is blowing a gale! The walk over the bridge from Hawks Nest was a little hairy because the wind was strong and the cars woosh by only a metre away ... had to keep a close eye on the geokiddies. The cache was found by geokiddie #1 after about 5 minutes of looking in possible spots. We must be getting better as cachers as their hiding spots are really starting to stand out.
Best of all, just as we were putting the cache back, the wind reached the critical speed that set the bridge resonating and we were treated to a beautiful sustained singing note that geokiddie #1 informed us was a pure C!! Hahaha!
Others might be interested in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Gardens-Hawks_Nest_Bridge ... apparently it's the bridge's railings that sing, acting as a wind harp!

Great cache, very lucky. TNLN TFTC

found by Madbulldog & pup , during a shower of rain .TNLN

this was a great catch well done madstars

Start of a couple of days break at Tea Gardens, walked down from our accommodation to to get this one after unpacking. Nice easy find between muggle movements. No singing today but it must have been getting close at times.

Thanks Madstars.

THE CACHE FLY

Took a little while to find.
In the end I reckon it was closer to S 32° 40.191 E 152° 10.002?
Grabbed the coin to move along through SA.

I will wait for a second DNF before I disable this cache.

The hide is a good one.

no luck with this one

Found GZ with no problems. then spent 30 mins reaching behind every rock I could reach. even moved some big one out of the way. but no luck here. Not off to a good start for this Caching trip with 2 DNF in the first 4. Moving on to the next one.

Was someone else looking for this one today? We felt like some people were waiting for us to leave ,but we were waiting for them to leave. It was strange

WE LEFT BEHIND A PIGGY WIG GEOCRITTER

Great cache Madstars.Left a very special travel bug I found in Tokyo last week.It's a shark that wants to travel to areas with other sharks so I hope that a few swim under the singing bridge.Hopefully somebody can move him up/down the coast.

ha ha ha

Play me a tune

Due to the lack of wind, The big girl was not singing her tune. Great spot for a quick feed at the fish shop near by.

TNLN, TFTC

No wind to sing. was a great day. stopped in to have prawns. Awesome

A beautiful place to visit.

2519.

Unfortunately no singing today. Shell ducked in for a quick find while I played with the dogs near the water.

Thanks MADSTARS for the cache and the third *FTF* for the day.
