Psilonike had found this one before he was even known as xonike! Logging this one for the couple account as corickra's notes reminded me of it. My second Townsville find before I got registered a new account (xonike being my second account). TFTC, the sticker made it very easy IIRC.
That wasn't the kinda sign I had pictured in my head
Dropped off the No Fear TB

It was lucky I had the geochild with me for this one - far more agile than me! Not a mozzie in sight but plenty of bindies. Took the flag pin.

This was my second cache found ever. What a great find. It took me sometime to locate it, but the reward was worth it!
Found signs of the cache but had to do a bit of contortionist stuff to get it. Luckily no one came along the track while I was contortioning. TFTC summer'skoby.
Seems like everyone else we missed the "sign" until after we spied the cache. Not too busy today.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Had to be pretty sneaky as cyclists and muggles on foot were about. Some guy in a motorized little jeep with kid in the front was pretty amusing. Found the sign after going past it a dozen times. Good hide.
After a DNF I was determent to to let this one go. Jump striang under the bridge to look for the troll. NO troll but came up with the cache. SL. As i climb back out it was a case of "ahh look ther is the sign" TFTC
Hmmmm seem to have missed the sign. Must say I was very frustrated after not finding some of the other local caches. Ill try again in the daylight.
Yeh, lots of cyclists and joggers around so had to sit at nearby seat to do log book.
A cute little bridge....made of metal....which presented many possible cache securing points. After a quick scour of the top, a look under the bridge was required.....just to ensure no troll activity. A keen eye soon located the cache's attachment psoition and from there its retrieval was easy. Only after returning the cache did I notice the "sign". Dooh! The "sign" is a big, big hint. TNLN.
Nice hide found easily on a quiet Sunday morning walk! We took the TB and left a Swedish flag pin. TFTC
Have ridden past this site hundreds of times before I started Geocaching. Nice Cache.

Found easily by my muggle daughter after seeing the telltale 'sign'. No trolls today thankfully Thanks summer'skoby
just cleaning it up. back asap.please rehide in the same spot and close log bag and container.
First ever cache, great little area down there for biking, walking, running etc.
After failing at Hole in One this was a quick find to restore confidence. I'm not sure what someone means by the obvious indicator on the structure though. A quick sign and replace - the nearby bench was handy. Thanks!
Only my second find .... but did 2 in 40 mins. Managed this one without co-ordinates and GPS because area is visited often by self and dog.
Thanks for this one - neat little cache. Very scooter friendly!

Usually I don't like bridge caches because I am not very successful finding them. But this one went quite well.

I can only remember seeing one of those used before and not as well as this one. A nice spot and find, thanks summer'skoby.
WanderingAus wandered by on day 60 of our annual 'Climatic Refugee' trip, on a night run after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at Suburban Bowling Club for a line dancing social, and made a fairly easy GAFF 1 find. There were three possible corners which had signs of access, and the last one checked was of course the right one. After leaving the gpsr above GZ for over 5 minutes it was still reading "10 metres to End", understandable with what appeared (couldn't tell for sure in the dark) to be fairly heavy tree cover. Track point held at S19°17.354', E146°48.175' for 5 minutes.
My find No 2649, TNLNSL.

Found at 3:50pm. Sign, what sign, oh that sign! Once we had seen the sign we knew we had the spot.
This area is where I would ride my bike 40 years ago when I lived just down the road, so it was nice to see the change in the area.

Beautiful day for a walk to the park and a perfect day to look for trolls...... but none about! SL TFTC
found at 1101 a quick find. A Name with Troll in you alway know where to look I climbed under brideg and spotted what I was looking for. When I got back to the edge of the bridge I spotted a sign that would have save me the effort. good clue. Cache is OK and dry. TFTC.
This is my 2nd of 3 caches for the morning. Have been meaning to get this one for a while. The hint is helpful and very good : ). Didn't have too much trouble locating this cache as it was still dark when I went in for the hunt. Nice spot and luckily no Trolls around : ) TNLN
LOL....love the big hint....been meaning to track this one down for awhile....left fake 5c coin...TFTC skoby

Found with the Reluctant Companion, in another beautiful Townsville park. What a great day - 8 finds - lunch in Townsville and a movie before going home. It doesn't get much better than this. This one had us a bit puzzled for a while as the GPS was not happy - however pow!!! and there it was. TNLN TFTC. And thanks for showing us a part of Townsville we have never visited.
Found today while visiting the area.
Nice and quiet, I like that
Thanks for the cache.

Final stop on the Ross River caching run, and a nice easy find to top it off. Thanks!
Quick find given the very obvious geo-clue!! Nice stroll along the river here. TFTC summer'skoby
Parking was available very close by, followed by a short walk to GZ. Took the wrong approach at first, but then a quick about turn and the cache was in hand.
Thanks for showing me the area.

Found between the rain downpours, one day we will have to ride this path on our pushies. TFTC. TNLN.
Found it! Taking the travel bug to Sydney next week! Hitch-hiked from Townsville to brisbane this week! Tftc!
My GPS had me searching in the middle of the bridge with no success, until I decided to ignore it and searched the whole bridge, as well as under and around. Finally spoted the "clue".

PS: There was no geocoin in the cache. Maybe whoever took it out forgot to log it?
A quick pick-up on the cycle home. This is definitely a highway for cyclists, but the parked cycle was a great cover.

Pretty little bridge, didn't understand the clue until I looked harder and noticed that familiar logo TNLN SL, TFTC
Found in the rain this afternoon.Decyphered the clue in the car in an effort to save a bit of time but I'm not sure if it did as I started looking for a different feature.Co-ords turned out to be spot on once I decided to trust my GPSr.Thanks for the cache summer'skoby.TNLNSL and got wet.
[that's the spirit a bit of e.s.c.nice find ammotech.]extra sensory caching.
Found fairly quickly on the 14th. We thought we had a shot at a FTF as we raced out in the dark torch in hand, but were beaten by Ammotech 502. Good hint! Thanks for the hunt summer'skoby.
*FTF* Had just completed finding another cache nearby and decided to walk along the river looking for a place to hide a future cache. Came across a bridge that was the perfect candidate for a cache and when I looked a little more closely I saw a familiar logo.That got my interest and I looked harder to reveal a cache. Opened the cache to reveal a blank log and a GC I own. i was quite confused as I knew there was no cache online in this spot. Got home and yep no cache had been published. Waited 28hrs and finally cache got published. Sorry Gemini 1&2 but I beat you by over a day.
Thanks for a great cache an an extremely lucky FTF.
