Swooped twice by the resident evil magpie once on the bridge and once under it so decided given my stats for today are found 4 dnf 5 that this would not be my lucky day. 1 magpie for sorrow TFTH
Found quickly and signed log.. very damp and mouldy, needs replacing and waterproofing. I got a fright when a puggle sniffed me out and came to check out what I was doing. Not sure if his owner saw me, but probably wondered what on earth I was doing!
Day out picking up a few my geosister has already found without me TFTC

One of our favourite style of caches, no idea how it took us so long to find but oh well... A job well done! The cache does not look out of place but is 'lonely Tftc though it is in desperate need of water proofing
An Owl and a rat stopped by to go to school.
We searched high and low, here and there no luck.
Will have to return another day.

Out with H-Quinn trying to clean up a couple of her nemisis caches. Found it! She was sort of happy but sort of annoyed. TFTC
After visiting this one a couple of times and not even coming close to finding it, I needed to call in some help. H423L found it within seconds, which was really annoying, but at least I can cross this one off now! Good hide, TFTC!
Grabbed Briana the Explorer for a day of caching. Tricky hide, we first tried to find this one when we had less than 20 finds to our name, coming back today with more experience made this a slightly easier find.

With school in session nearby, we only had a brief look but with muggles approaching we moved on will return another day for a better look till next visit TFTC Trail06
GPS said "batteries low!!. Hmm.
Got to GZ and started search but a bit to damp to do much searching so gave it a miss and put it on the DNF list for another, dryer, day.
And save the GPS for other caches - no spare batteries with me today - dam.

Went for a wander in Morphett Vale with some friends for a couple finds. Unfortunately we were unable to locate 3 of the caches we attempted which is pretty disappointing.
A short wander along the path (once we chose the right path) and we started searching. Had a good idea where it was going to be however it took a little while to spot it. Like these kinda hides log is pretty damp and could do with a replacement including a log bag.
Thanks for the cache placement Trail06

We decided to take advantage of the beautiful autumn weather and spend some time caching down south. After a short walk from GC54K78 we found the right location easily and then the cache itself. The log has suffered from being wet in the past. TFTC
**this is a late log** I have recently made a major upgrade to my GSAK license and found this lovely feature that automatically tells me what caches I have marked found in GSAK but never logged on geocaching.com!! Yay, Clyde, you can have my money anytime! The caches I am logging in this batch were ones I did in 2016. I cache with an assortment of cachers and never alone. So far in 2017 I have cached with Moneydork, Ride the GeoWalrus, Locus Cacher, Liz & Bruce and Team Zouk. I focused on logging 2016 SAGA eligible caches and did not log the others I have found and signed this year. In an interest to get completely caught up, I am logging my past finds in bulk. I still have work to do after this, as I need to locate my notes from all of my earthcaches, but once those are in, I should be very close to current. I appreciate all the effort you go through to create and place your hides and do not for one second take it for granted, I just need to get caught up so I can return to my once pleasant logs. Cheers!
Nice hide, a fave point from us. Log has been wet, so looks rather like a pirate message! (and is almost full, but managed to squeeze us in). Co-ords are spot on, TFTC
Have trolled this bridge many times with a few different eyes to help in my endless search for the allusive cache... Still no luck
No luck here. Although it was getting rather dark by the time I got here...
I had trouble with this one, so read the clue and the previous finder's logs. With that info I knew what type of container I was looking for and I knew this was a tricky one. Even so, I spent around 20 mins scouring the underside of the bridge and checking every possible surface. I looked from different angles and checked both ends of the bridge, but came up empty handed. Might try again another day when it is less muddy underfoot.
Certain types of hiding spots create an expectation of a particular type of container and placement . This wasn't one of them [B)].
Spent a long time looking here, which really made us feel silly when we spotted the cache .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Trail06.

It's there Apty found it. I'll give it the award for the crunchiest logbook I've seen *giggle* TFTC
Really love looking on metallic structures for caches.
We were a group of 3, walking the nearby trail and were flat out looking for this one. On the fifth pass I spotted the goal.

Have had a couple of visits here with no luck. Today was a different matter, just can't work out how we missed it the other times ☺️ TFTC 4/10/2015 11:28 am Find #745
After four previous visits and a PAF, I returned again this morning. That was almost too easy. How had I missed that one so many times before. Favourite point added. TFTC. 4/10/2015, 11:28 Find #902
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how sweet it is to finally get a smiley on this one : )
Took me to so this cache in the dark to finally spot it.
Log may need to be placed in a little bag to keep it from getting wet , signed log with becthang TFTC

STOP EVERYTHING!
Thank you.....
Now I have your attention I can be the bringer of good news and declare the cache (While difficult) is still there. Knew how tricky this one was and went back today to re find it with a friend of mine.
So yeah, please dont archive the living cache. That would be a tad unfortunate. Thanks,

This one was hard. Really hard.
Cobwebs in my hair, and someone came walking over the bridge as we were under it.
Still, it's definitely there.

No luck finding it today... Lots of cobwebs, didn't feel like getting friendly with mr spidey!
We found a pencil at one end of the structure, so we are assuming that a mugged has found it.
With earthlight joining us for the day we head down south to grab a few caches, this one was a bit tricky but found after a short search....OK a long search lol. TFTC
Good one, as usual scrutinised the entire structure thinking we knew better than the GPSr. Oh when will we learn, knowing our attitude NEVER, a sneaky one, hadn't seen this in the "flesh" before but this was sneaky.
Thanks Trail06 for the play in the creek and the cache. Tnlnsl.

Questioned by police but after the second attempt finally found it ...so not fair
Keeping the daily finds going, just a shame I'm too lazy to keep the daily logs coming haha, came by once before a long time ago and rubbed noses with a few bugs and got the hell out of there. Came back a little more cautious this time and soon found something a bit interesting soon enough, TFTC
Back again to sign the log. Cache was still where I placed it the other day so I will leave a NM log too. TFTC
Found this today, second try. Didn't have a pen so I will come back and sign again another time. Log and cache we're on the ground so I've placed where I think it might go but CO will need to check on this one.
Out caching with CPWanderer and Sarni_Girl. This was the hardest find of the day where 3 cachers had to take on the trolls in a mighty battle for the hidden treasure. Ismartis fought hard and was the one to triumphantly find the treasure in its sneaky hiding place. TFTC Trail06
Searched and searched with Ismartis and Sarni_girl. We were about to give up when Ismartis spotted it from just the right angle!!! Thanks Trail06 for the hide!!!
Found on a day out with Aussie M&M as she moves closaer to her 5000 also with Farmer--brown
Had given up on this but one last look as we left i made the discovery
Had given up on this but one last look as we left i made the discovery
This had 3 cachers scratching their head, elbows, knees and ..... In the end, we checked where our GPSr's said it wouldn't be and there it was. Good work Garry on persevering..... TFTC.
Took a while to find this one with gaar, great hide, only from looking at the right angle did we find it. Tftc
Tftc, took about 20 minutes and only just got it after looking at the right angle ^^ well hidden
Found it easily. The hard part is replacing it- waiting for muggle family to leave the area take the advice on the nearby sign. TFTC
Searched hard with the GeoKids but no success. Could be because we are noobs.
Will be back!!
Will be back!!
Was initially looking at wrong side of bridge. Eventually found cache. Signed log, found with Benus.
Easy find after reading previous logs. TFTC.

This took some time and I was muggled by a couple going over the bridge, who know what they were thinking I was up to! A very sneaky hide I must say, it had me looking for a while and was almost going to give up when I put the head in just the right position and spotted something out of the ordinary. Thanks Trail06
Looked above & below. Have not learnt the trick with bridges, but the mystery will be unlocked one day. Three kookaburras laughing made me feel better.
Took a while searching amongst the spider webs then recognised something I've seen before. Tricky.
this took alittle longer than it should
after abit of hitting of the head geodad came up with the goods
abit of maintenance performed tonight
new elastic band was put on
no trolls tonight but plenty of inch ants and spiders
thanks trail06 for the cache
cache is in good order

Found second trip back with hethdil this time we took shitake too, success found it yay! Tftc!
Found on our Second trip with Insada5161 and Shitakecame along sneaky little hide. TFTC
Was getting a bit late and cold but thought we'd take a quick look for this on our way home... but to no avail.. then one geodaughter missed stepping stone so finished with one went shoe and sock and no find.. never mind.. we shall return...
Never found one like this before [^] Very interesting thought I'd take some photos of it to show my geofriends and realised I had to go back for a second shot when my phone didn't save them and I slipped on my butt What a laugh though TFTC
