NO RESPECT

Usually we ride straight past, so it's nice to stop.

Tftc

good break from the ride along the track

Found with Grogmonster58 whe we went for a ride to loose some xmas exccess bagage. The Fernleigh Track is a excellant asset to the Newcastle area and i am looking forward to grabing some more Caches along the track next time we come down.
SL. TNLN. TFTC.

PS the Log is a bit torn up and will need replacing soon.

Quick find. Had to sweep out a few cobwebs.
HAPPY DOOMSDAY!!

Nice tranquil Ghost Platform. Nice to keep it, but it seems an awful waste of space too.

Quick find.
Will have to do the track one day on the bike, might be a wheel chair by the time I get to it.
Thanks The Wobblys for caches on the way.

Great piece of history. Best on a bike

Had a nice stop here with my friends patches108 and Riley Fisher for a well earned rest on our way back home

Originally looked in the wrong place,
When looking elsewhere, quickly found the treasure
Like what the fernleigh track looks like
tftc

Armed with the hint we found it. TFTC!

A great moment for me as my geotoddler for the first time said 'geocache' and 'good job dad' all in the one sentence. Lovely little train station. Would loved to have seen it in its day.

Very easy find as it was just sitting on ground signed and placed back where I think it came from TFTC find no: 180

found within a few seconds! TFTC

cords lead me straight to it.

found it

A nice easy find Thanks.

No problems with this cache, although it took some time to find.

Good use of old train line for bikes.
Our GPS had us out by miles so ignored it and search the other end.
Found.
Cheers for the cache.

Where's the ticket office?

After our day on the beach we went caching on the way back. Strange platform, why is it placed there? Since there came no busses, we logged the cache and left by car Greetings from The Netherlands!

New container and log now in place.

Needs some maintenance. Found with Team Unibolt's temporary log inside.

Found while out biking with Baktrak TFTC

Found on a ride up the bike track.

Rollerblade caching from Fernleigh Tunnel to Belmont (one way, had to call Mrs Grub fred from Redhead on the way back, uphill, against the wind, no way!), signed temporary sheet after Team Unibolt, TFTC Wobblys!!

Have left temporary log and container but this one needs some attention.

As per previous logs only the lid of the container remains. We had a previous finder in tow to day that confirmed the cache location. We had an unpainted container of the same type with us so we let it and a page from a note pad as a temporary log.

As per my previous note, I did find the cache container lid, but the container and log have gone. With CO's permission I would like to log this as a find.

TFTC

Suspect this one has gone.
I did find the lid off the caceh container but no container or log.

TFTC

nice bike ride along here, plenty of muggles, spent a while sitting waiting for the train

Cache was laying on the ground lid boken of SL and returned to hide as best we could. May pay to repair. TFTC.

Nice place to rest tftc

Quiet day in showery conditions quick find and sign
Thanks for the cache

An easy find in between muggles

Number 4 for the morning another
place where muggles congregate
not to worry TFTF.

the station is alot bigger then i thought when on a walk when not looking for the cache

Reperio at 1740. Love how the council have left this alone and made it apart of their heritage. It does seem in a strange spot though perched behind the houses, but it's great to still see it exists.

Gratias.

First Ever Cache!

My First Cache!

second cache found today of the 5 i set out to find

Nice Hide! TFTC.

Easy walk on way to gz, found it easy, hide well thanks

Dropped by this one the other day but it was like the trains just nowere to be found. come back today and how could I have missed it? Just having a bad day !


TFTC

TFTC! Took a couple times to find.

Found with Geo son on a cycle Ride. TNLNSL & TFTH

Gizmo had me about 6m out. Broadened my search and the cache was in hand quickly. Thanks

Team Rocket really need to find a better way to pull off "stealthy". Standing around, waiting for a train, on a platform more useless than 9 3/4 probably isn't goind to fool a lot of muggles. Still, we managed to nab this cache fairly easily, once the crowd thinned...

Found the cache quickly, but there were lots of muggles out for a walk, so we pretended to wait for a train as a decoy. The train never came, but eventually there was a break in the muggles so we could retrieve and sign the cache.

The rain has stopped for a bit so we could find this cache on our ride south.

TFTC

Well that is nicely done for a platform. Found the cache too, Thanks.

We took a nice windy walk along the path to the cache. Found without too much trouble. TFTC

Great to find about the old rail line

found on a trip to Newcastle
thank you for hiding it

Well hidden in a popular biking spot. TFTC

I wish they had bike paths like this up our way. Thanks.

What a great use of the old train line, love it.
Nice quick find and we're off to the next one.
TFTC!

2540 - Found during a Newcastle region visit with ACBC 66....

I really like these trails converted from old lines. The old station is a perfect spot for a cache - a nice quick find here helped !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Have being seeing a wide variety of hides with a mint tin today... nice to have some spice to micro hunt. Interesting spot, wish I could actually ride it! Cheers again

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice easy find. TFTC!

Great use for an old railway line, and the views from the platform are wonderful, SL TNLN TFTH

Its great to see a recycled use of this area. In between muggle bikers, we had the cache in hand. Found during Rudi63 and the Walenators assualt on a "Everything North of Sydney" caching weekend TFTH....SL...TNLN

After finding one of the other Rails to Trails caches, this was a bonus, thanks for showing us this wonderful track.

This is a very cool place - we enjoyed standing on the platform and considering the way things used to be. TFTC.

Today was a bit of a struggle with our caching - our GPS has packed it in and we have had to rely on our car navigator! This one had the navigator totally confused and wanted us to go miles and miles away. We resorted to the old fashioned paper map and soon found a parking spot not far from an access path onto the track. This Fernleigh Track is certainly a great asset to the area and there were plenty of muggles out using it this afternoon. We had a bit of a break in the muggle traffic and were able to quickly locate the cache. TNLNSL TFTC

Very dark here at night when the torch was off. But still a fairly easy find.

lots of muggles

Nice area (no trains today) maybe due to the wormen down from the platform. TFTC

Nice easy find.

This one popped up as we completed a neaby cache. It sowed as being only 60m away as we were driving around the local streets, so we decided another one before going home couldn't hurt. Mr Shifter styed in the car while Mrs Shifter headed along the walkway to the old rail corridor, and located the cache in the first place she looked.

We just have to bring our bikes back here, the track gradient is excellent as it follows the old train lines. It's great that the station was left and has been upgraded, but it needs a shed. Initially thought the cache might have been covered over by the new work, but soon found it in one of the few likely spots. TNLN, thanks for the hide in this great spot.

An easy find even with all the muggles racing by.Big changes made here since I last rode along this track.

What was my GPS doing road maps was sending me all over the place I think is was heading to the start point of the walking track miles away...U turn now, map to ground..AH thats better, side street access 65 meters away, up the lane way and onto the track (the walking track) no trains here. But if you listen hard enough you can still hear them in the distance...Toot Toot..the old red rattler. Located the cache SL and returned it before the trained pulled into the station....must be the heat

cheers

We were approx. 50meters away from the cache,when the gps started sending us all over the place.Nothing better than plain old common sense once in a while.I must admit the gps did sve us a lot of walking and backtracking with 99% of the caches.TFTC

Our favourite part of the ride today excellent downhill ride (pity we didn't get picked up at the station for the return). A quick hunt between groups of high speed muggles at least they were too busy to pay much attention to us. The cache was quickly found and without a hitch. TFTC TheWobblys. [360].

Alot of work has gone into this area. Just add a few picnic tables and shelter and this would be a very user friendly area.
JABs.

Lots of good work has been done in the area. Might need to alocate more time in the area on the next visit and do the full walk.

TFTC

Haven't been to this area since it has be redone but we had to be careful of muggles as there were a few about today. An easy find overall.

Good to see restoration to make an old site useful again. TFTC

Thanks for the cache.
We weren't sure wether it was on the top or the bottom but we looked and found it.

The GEOsloots

Aaarrrrhhhhh.....SPIDER........... The biggest blackest darkest meanest SPIDER in the world.... I hate hate hate spiders... lol

Thanks for the scare... sorry I missed killing it, so after it jumping on my hand and then my pants and them somewhere else, I am not quite sure where it ended up.

So just take care... or a can of mortein.

Thanks Wobblys for another great but scary cache.

MADSTARS

Found on our last caching hit for 2009 (30th - 31st December) in the Nelsons Bay / Central Coast area.
We wish all a happy new year and hope to see you all at the Wagga Mega Event in April 2010.

It's official, I am baked, steam is rising off me, someone baste this side and turn me over!!

Easy find for the boy.

Cheers

3244.

This was a bit of a surprise that I hadn't expected to find. Good to see this old line being used for something useful. Found with Team Webguy.

Thanks to TheWobblys for the cache.

TNLNSL

Access was alot easier this time and cache was found quickly, just had to watch out for the muggles over the fence.

This was a great spot and what has been done with the bike path. Very impressive. TFTC

This converted railway impressed us and speeder3--nice hide. Will bring bike next time and complete ride/walk from 5 years ago.
