I was nearby at the Australia Day Signal event and saw this cache just up the road so decided to walk up and for a quick find. Arrived at gz and saw a great little possible hiding place there. Had a look and there was the cache tucked away snugly. Signed the log and then replaced it all as found when the area was muggle free. TFTC Big Grin
 
28-Jan-18
I caught public transport to the nearby event in Gough Whitlam park and noticed that I walk straight past this cache, in fact less than a metre from it! So couldn't resist stopping and making a quick find before joining the group at the event as I was already late.

Thanks for the cache Bells Angels, an interesting little bridge that must get lots of use crossing this river

Last of the day. When I was here before, the bridge was under repair, so this was noted as a DNF. Now a nice smilie. TFTC
 
13-Dec-17
It took me a while to spot the place. Then it took longer to wait for a muggle to cross the bridge.
 
11-Dec-17
Nowhere available to park with all the commuters hogging the parking lot, so HAD to make a quick dash to find this cache.
Took the trackable. Thanks for the cache.

31-Oct-17
Today I cycled with ziggiau from Wolli Creek to the end (or the beginning?) of Cook's River. Two DNFs, twenty four finds. A broken front-brake cable and a flat tyre. What a day!

First find of the day where I learned that the bridge can only be crossed at one side. The other side. Once I was to the other side, the container was found quickly.

The bridge still being worked on and there was no sign of the cache.

Just a note to say the bridge is still inaccessible due to the roadworks.

Mugged

Currently inaccessible due to bridge works. Will update once the work is complete.
 
14-Apr-17
Should've read the activity on this one first. The fence is still up so no access to the cache
 
26-Jan-17
Construction has the area cordoned off, perhaps this needs temporary disabling.
 
25-Dec-16
Went for a hunt in the area but it's been closed off by construction site. A few snakes spotted also
 
17-Nov-16
There is construction work going on at the west end of this bridge and no access to where I would like to hunt. Will have to come back another time.

With the day off work it was a 2.30am wakeup in Goulburn to get the partner and our young geoson to the airport for a week long trip to Perth to see some family. The plane flew out at seven so I had a day off and in need of something while in Sydney. So naturally a good handful of caches would do.

Twenty finds and three dnfs while in Sydney and the Shire area today. I had a few trackables that I dropped near Appin today on the scout trails but they got some miles visiting all the caches today.

Love some local history. Tftc tnln.

There are so many unwins around the place I had always wondered who they relate to. I reckon the skin would melt off anybody who tried to swim here now.

Anyways had the win and found the cache. Thanks

Had to go through a barrier or two. Easy find if youre keen to trespass. TFTC!

Found with Happy Jackie hiding under bridge. Few passers by had a second look. Thanks

I could find this cache after a short search. When I was signing the log a homeless man came around, asking what I am doing.... I hope that he lost interest soon after and that this cache will not get muggeled.

Thanks for the hide at the bridge

Found this one on my walk around the area. Ended up from Dulwich Hill to Discovery Point on that trip and enjoyed the dry weather before the forecasted big wet.

Went by the D/T rating for a while but came up with nothing to show for it. Resorted then to old logs and an image told enough about the placement. Back there and even then it looked futile. But as I was turning around to leave with a DNF, the container was right there and then. Smile

This definitely is higher T, at least 2 and some might mark it up to 2.5. The logsheet, too, is full but there are still little spots here and there to ink your initials. Otherwise it's all good here. TFTC, Bells Angels!
 
10-Jun-16
All in good condition today. Glad I was where I was to sign the log as about three muggles walked past and had no idea I was there.
Found while muggle hubby was doing some work nearby.

Found the cache and what was in it scattered all around the place. Obviously it's been Muggled. Picked up the things, put them back in the container and left it at the crime scene. Found it with The Boblets.

#2831 (5 of 6 today) (Streak day 298)

Decided to head towards Bardwell Park today as there are still a few caches nearby I haven't grabbed.
Managed to avenge a previous DNF and a DNAttempt in the process.
Also managed to run into two cachers - at two different caches, as well as a school friend at another.
Interesting day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked 200 metres down the road and made my way to GZ. Cache blindness struck here as it was misplaced and out in the open, but I didn't see it until I'd checked two spots nearby.

Finally saw it (second facepalm of the day) and completed signing duties, then replaced where it had to be.

Was making my way back when I see **Miz Wacket**, her Geohubby and Geodog for the second time today..

So **Miz Wacket** and I watched as her Geohubby looked for it. Finally did a bit of Hot / Cold when the penny dropped and he made the find.

I was ready to head home but **Miz Wacket** mentioned there was another cache, she'd already found, only 200 metres away. So I went for that as well.

I'm gonna get bitten by the peakhour traffic!

Thank you very much, Regina-32 for the nice trip to australia.

Thanks for the cache.

Awesome hiding spot! Probably wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for some helpful comments, but spotted it straight away. Found with my caching partner, Alejabrown. Great view from the location. TFTC
 
28-Feb-16
I looked for this cache a couple of years ago without success (I think it might have gone missing at that time) so I was very surprised to have a quick find today. I didn't sign the log because I was on a 4 hour walk with a friend along the TVT (Wolli Creek and Cooks River paths) and didn't have a pen with me. However I took photos if the CO would like to see them (I didn't put them in the gallery because they would be spoilers). TFTC Bells Angels, finally glad to have this one off my DNF list!
 
28-Feb-16
Good one to do with the dog. Thanks!

I walked over from Tempe station. It looked a long way on google maps but was actually very close. It is amazing that they were able to build the bridges they did in the early days of settlement here in Sydney as the tools they had were poor, the technological skill was very limited and the labour was unskilled, and yet many survive.
I found the cache quickly then returned to the station side to continue my walk along the Cook's River, something my ancestors would have done being from this area.
