Appears to no longer be their. No find for five months or so.

Another to the list of dnf

Walked past tonight to check this cache which we have found before. The cache appears to have disappeared.

Rode past this one this morning and it looks to have gone. It is certainly not where it was when I found it.

I found this one with padwack1234 it was a very creative hide.

Oops, wrong cache, didn't find this one

Finally found it after 20minutes of searching, very clever spot!

Found it with jack Hibbins, got rained on a bit though, crafty spot

I haven't had so much luck with the Rail Ride series, so I was stoked to grab this one in the after-work dark. Thanks

Looked and looked ..we were within 2m..but still!!!
Other logs said in plain view ????
Will come another day

Dotty bridge

After standing on the corner of the bridge for a good 20 minutes or so, I gave up. Will come back at a later date with helpers.

You are so right in thinking to place the cache in full view, like others we went right past before eventually finding it and then kicking ourselves for missing it initially. TFTC

Found after some time searching. Very clever hiding place and was a pleasure to find. Log contained a little moisture, but nothing too serious. TNLN TFTC.

Late night grab on the way home from the footy. Took a while to find even though the place was totally deserted. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kems

This was my first find Cool hidden spot!
Could tell i was on the right track as some dirt looked like it had been searched though by others.

Woo. First geocache

Great hide TFTC

This was my first find. Took a few tries and as a beginner was well hidden. Look for things that shouldn't be where they are....

Found it with geoson.

Again, I didn't have a pen! TFTC, TNLN

The bridge was quite busy and suspected that it might be underneath but couldn't figure out how to get there

Found this one today with a little bit of help from Littlemerpip. I found that the coordinates were out by about 10m or so but I didn't take a specific waypoint to measure. I had previously been here and looked unsuccessfully but today I saw it as soon as I started looking but had to juggle getting and retrieving it with muggles..... Signed log but didn't swap anything.

Thanks for the cache Combust4 - another one done in this series.

2 of us spent some time resting the bikes and pretending to have a very long drinks break, but no luck today.

Checked this out after some business on Karnak Rd... walked back and forth for 15 minutes, even under the bridge on the golf course... mustn't have had the eyes in properly today! I'll be back to find this one in a week or two

cool location it really suits the name!!:)

This was the third Geochache that me and my kids have found. I travel to and from work everyday at the nearby train station, so this find was really cool! And the hiding spot it great!! The previous logs helped me find it!

Cool spot !!

Great use of the area!
Found with Bugz11

Found with Lizmo22

We had some difficulty with our GPS as we were using it for the first time but found it fairly easily after solving our technical issues.

Great hide! Walked GZ a bit before spotting it. TFTH.

Find #512 logged at GZ at 11:19pm on a long evening walk far from home. T4TC Combust4!

Sadly stumped this time - will need to come back when not so much bridge traffic

Found today with Mum. Her first geocache and now a complete fan since she found this one TFTC

16:06
Fourth and last find in this series on today's bike ride along Gardiner's Creek.

I'd looked for this one in the dark a couple of Sundays ago, but had a train to catch. Resuming the search this afternoon, I managed to look from the right angle, and there it was. Thanks for the fun, Combust4... I look forward to finding the hides further up the railway line on another visit.

#1077

Great hiding spot, almost thought i wouldn't find it.

Great series!...Beautiful day!..TFTC

Great day today finding the rail ride series of incredibly well made and hidden caches with huge variety. Managed 10 today, only 4 to go. TFTC.

This was the fourth of the cache by train adventure for SPIFFY- E10707 and myself. At first we were puzzled about were it may be hidden, but we soon found it. Very clever. TFTC. SL

My third in Oz on first full day here, out with my sister who plays golf here so I heard all about the recent floods and as well as the holes near the path. Took us a few minutes but perseverance paid off, tftc.

Out with the lank Clan, PantherX and Burge. TFTC

Nice hide, tftc

Well done for finding a place to hide this one where it isn't in plain sight, and yet another well constructed cache.

TFTC

It was our second time to spot this one.... the last time being at night and were unsuccessful. We returned here today knocking off a few other caches in the area. This time the team divided into two groups, one looked from above and the other from below. only to be spotted by geowife's team. nice container and nice hide. as the wife says, look with your eyes open and you shall find. SL TFTC Combust4.

Surprisingly quick find despite the golfers, cyclists and dog walkers this early on a Sunday morning. TFTC

A bold hide, in plain view from the right angle, found with au fait on the dotty spotty bridge. Another great hide thanks Combust4

I must be going dotty myself. Seems i forgot to log this after a big day of caching with echidna44. Loved the name for this cache TFTC

Found at 2:19pm. Find 7 of 11. Nice looking bridge and very nice looking area. Good and easy find. SL TFTC

One of the best in this series. Pretty tricky - teamed up with my favourite partner in crime, josiey, and she was the sharper eyed one tonight (as usual).

As I walked along the path through the golf course to the GZ region I was thinking about having run through here very tiredly in the past while doing an orienteering event. On today's map however there were no controls this far south. Drjim7 and I came here after the event in eager anticipation having done a few caches in this series and we definitely weren't disappointed. Eventually I spotted something and knew it was it as soon as I saw it. I'm not sure how the magnet works so well as it seems to have come unstuck so I was careful with replacement but I was relieved to find it extremely effective. Must be a strong one. Still have a couple more in this series, including the one that I broke my tooth on trying to open. Looking forward to them. Thanks combust4.

Took us a while to find this one as the GPSr was pushing us a few metres away. Eventually we got the right angle to spot it and sign the log at 3:45pm. Having met the CO earlier in the day we were keen to get at least one of his hides on our list. Given the time we decided to jump on the train here and head for home rather than continue riding, but we hatched a plan to come back and continue this trail into the city another day.
thanks combust4

What a great hide. This took a little bit of time but after reading some recent logs I too decided to try looking from different angles and bam there it was the one thing that looked out of place. Tftc I really enjoyed this one.

I first visited this one not long after it was released and spent a long time looking without success. It was a quick find today and I can not believe how I missed it the first time. TFTC.

Not too much I can do about the seal on this cache unless I use a totally different container which would loose some of the charm! So a new log is now in place with a new bag to help it stay dry. Will just have to keep an eye out for it over time as it will in time fail again. Happy caching!

Finally got this one, thanks to some serious clues from Sog12

Thanks for the note on repair needed. I am repainting the inside of the house room by room so its harder to get out caching, but should get there and to "Wetlands" this weekend.

Cheers

The second find on my first geocache outing with sog12. Very happy to find this one. Thank you for this cache.

Found with jmp40. Another clever micro. Well done and thank you.

Soggy. Needs maintaining. Cool find after a nice little walk

What a clever hide this one is. If we weren't with some previous finders we might never have found it. TFTC

Found at 00.45 on a late night/early morning caching run with Burge. This one took some searching but we were determined not to go away empty handed. Our patience paid off and we found the clever hide. I've driven under this bridge many times but never walked across it. TFTC and for bringing us here!

This was a good hide. Took us a little to find the odd thing out but we made it. In saying that it is approach 1am. Tftc tnln sl

It took a few minutes and getting on the right angle to spot this one. TFTC

???? Confused

Took quite a while to find it, I amused myself by scaring myself with the massive and beautiful spider which has made its home near by. Epicmac suddenly got this very determined look and strode over purposefully and TA DAH! GREAT camo funny fact - my first time ever crossing a freeway pedestrian overpass....and I'm 34!

I spotted this one with my feet on the ground. I think it helped. The new walking/bike bridge and connection to the end of the Anniversary trail are now open and will be officially opened on Saturday 24th. Thanks again Combust4 - a geat series which I am still working on.

Made my way to the dotty bridge - it was very quite, until the last train for the day arrived, and then it was surprisingly busy! The man with the headlamp got a few strange looks! Hidden in plain sight indeed. I have enjoyed many of the hides in this series. TFTC

First time I was here with my friend, and we didn't have a pen. Came back yesterday while cycling home and quickly filled it in, making sure no muggles were watching.

Found @ 1240 as my 600th GC find - my GPSr seemed to have trouble settling in on one place, so I spent a bit of time zig-zagging across the zig-zag part of the bridge (some people just have to be non-conformists, don't they!). When the initial search failed to bear fruit I decided to lower my expectations, and though it didn't help with the retrieve it at least helped me see things with a new perspective. Swapped the Moosetash pathtag for one of mine, SL, TFTC Combust4 - I'll definitely have to try to finish off the series while I'm down here.

We were having dinner only a few hundred metres from here, so naturally I checked out the local caches. Geoson and I found this one while the girls waited in the car.
Thanks Combust4 - Nice one - I plan to get my bike out of the shed and find a few more of these one day soon.

Back on the trail again, this was our next stop. It had us going for a few minutes, partly because we widened our search pattern (foolishly as it turns out ) to the cache's namesake before returning to GZ. Once back there, s finally spotted the stash at 16:20 only a few metres east of where both our GPSrs were telling us to be . Whoops [8)].

Cleverly done, but we really made it a lot harder than we should have . (Forgive us, we're still learning this game .)

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Combust4.

Number 7 of 15 caches found today on a most enjoyable cycling expedition with EuDes. This one had us scratching our heads for quite a while as we searched both a wider area and previous finders' logs. It wasn't until we found the right angle that the subtle little cache was spotted. Thanks Combust4.

Find # 1393

Despite missing a cache for project 366 on the 17th Jan, I still wanted to get as many as I could this year.

I had attampted this one in the past with no luck. This time, I had a clear head and managed to find the very well disguised cache within a few minutes, I just had to wait for the train pedestrians to pass by before retreval. This one is a favourite.

Thanks to Combust4 for the hide, another fantastic hide in this series complete.

Out for a ride and to pick up a few caches. Had a good chat with a lady who was walking the track into the city while the Moose had a hunt for the cache. It wasn't until after she left we found it. TFTC. TNL: pathtag.

Almost had us under the bridge but is a golf thingy .tftc

Took us a while but we found it. Has my next Fav point.

PS:Sent from my ipod

Found by The Empire @ 11:10am
Find number 4 of 20 with with pocketrocket&friends today. Thanks for the cache, Combust4.
- M

Found by PR&F on 6/1/12 @ 11.20am with The Empire
#5 of 20 finds today.
after striking out on #6 we made the find for this one.
Great location and a busy area with the pleasant weather.
We found a handful of caches in this series today- all very clever and required a good search!
TFTC Combust4

This is where the ride really began to get picturesque. Passed quite a few people coming and going but found enough time between people to find and regide.
Thanks again

Quite a structure! It was good the cache was on the other side of the bridge, because we probably wouldn't have twigged that we should be crossing here!
Early morning joggers were starting to fulfill their New Years obligations, but only a few of them so far.
A quck grab of the new container.
Thanks, Robmc.

After muggle interupted searching for a while with MajuraHathi parti and Seasidegirl11, the under and over team search came through. An excellent camo. TFTC.

Replaced the log today and used the orginal container as the seal is a bit better. Please use the paperclip and plastic bag. Happy caching!

Was having a go at the nearby whereigo (with no luck) so came over here to grab a cache for the day, and before the thunderstorms really hit. Fortyunately this was a quick find, thanks to combust4 for this one, quite easy compared to some others in this series. The log is slightly damp, will need watching and may be wetter after the storms today!

Hello, logging my personal tracker to calculate distance

18/12/11 6:40 PM Find #711 Hello Munzee, I wasn't expecting you here...whew it took me a while to find this cache after expanding my search area just a little. Log is wet but I managed to still sign it before drying the cache and returning it to its hiding spot. TFTC.

Quite like this one as it is a bit different but I may need to redesign it again ! Will give it thought before repairing in the hope that it stays the distance.

Came by to grab a Leapfrog cache (which had gone) to find the bridge I once used had collapsed/washed away so I had to move my car further afield and hobble along the bike track and temporary detour to get to GZ. GPS was a little jumpy but I soon spotted the cache and was able to make an easy grab and replace between cyclists. TFTC

Unfortunately the new log sheet is already wet, and although was usable for me may not last in its current soggy state...

Met up with Xambo4U after work for a spot of caching on our way home.
My first thought was to tackle this cache from the other side of the creek, but the bridge is still been constructed so we decided to drive around and park at the station. As we walked towards GZ we met our exercise man from #6.
After searching for a while above the bridge and thinking we may have to go under and search, then Xambo4U came up with the goods.
TFTC

Out and about with Toy car tonight doing an after work run, taking advantage of the longer day light hour. Having just come from a couple of other of Combust5 caches we weren't quite sure what to expect. We parked the cars at the station and walked across one of the two bridges here (bit of overkill with the tax payers money) We did of a quick look around thinking where could you hide something here and thought of the lower alternative. I was lucky with this one, log is a little wet. Low and behold we turned round to find our friend the excerise muggle was behind us completing a jog where we had just driven.
Excellent hide, I do enjoy your work
I look forward to doing more.

Redesigned and rebuilt this cache with a few design changes so it should be better from here on. New log and ready to go!

Not soo much an easy find as a greatful find.. I'm really enjoying these hides in this series.. I spent 5mins on this before resorting to some gallery images.. they didn't soo much give it away.. but did get me looking at least in the right 25% of the area.. Thanks Combust4 for the hide.. and another important day in the calendar..

Found in the company of lochb and coley_babee.
After the discovery of the nearby munzee, confirmed our suspicions that the cache wasn't too far away.
We were looking for this cache as if it were camoed in a different manner, but lochb spotted it before any of us decided to head down.
If your able to re-jig the container, I'm sure future finder would be most appreciative, its almost a pulpy mess.
Thanks again Combust4.

Came upon a Munzee first when hunting this one down.

Wasn't a long hunt for this one, making me wonder why I hadn't attempted this one sooner, seeing as I have been to this station so many times, knowing very well that this cache was so close by too!!!

TFTC

Indeed, this cache needs some maintenance... We were glad that we didn't have to climb down - with a sore ankle (me) and a cam walker (colee_babee), this would have meant PrincessDiala would have had to go for it. TFTC

Thanks for your update and those of other cachers. I am planning to rebuild this one in coming weeks with a small design change to remove the problem. I also suspect a number of the caches now need new logs and so will do a run over the next weeks to repair. Cheers
