Unfortunately this one is broke, it's disguise is missing, no where to be seen so it will need some attention.
Out with poptoppete and geodog tonight picking up a few random caches.
Unfortunately found this one easily because it is broken and it's disguise is missing. Tftc

What a great cache. Enjoyed the walk in and out, and as a bonus saw two trains, one in each direction. The line here has a real country branch line feel.
Thanks TeamGodfreys for a fantastic cache.

This was my 2nd attempt at finding this cache as last time I was on the wrong side of the creek ... todat I walked here from a nearby GC and again was happy to see the local council has been cutting grass in the area (still on snake alert). This did take me a while as I couldn't find the numbers in the hint ... a trained passed over and I stepped back a bit as I was a bit disconcerted about how much the timbers move around with all that weight on it!! My phones GPS wouldn't settle but found the numbers I needed then had a bit of a head scratch until I spotted the sneaky hide!! Good one TFTC
Started in the car park and after some trekking realised I was on the wrong side so backtracked and headed over the bridge to reach the treasure. Finally got to the right spot and after referring to the clue soon had cache in hand. As I was replacing the cache a couple from an adjoining property came home from walking their dog. After a bit of a interrogation I had to confess to being a geocacher. Have sworn them to secrecy about the cache whereabouts and even spouted the benefits of geocaching. You never know they might join. TFTCand a favourite for the nifty hide
A very nicely constructed hide, and thanks for the clever hint. As I was signing the log I heard the train pass overhead. My timing was spot on.
Thanks TeamGodfreys for the cache.

Yay our first cache (3/1/14).So beautifully disguised! Forgot a pen but left a dice.
No pen, so couldn't log, as was out on a run
Great hide that probably deserves a higher difficulty rating

Tried to get this a week back but the creek was high and I was on the wrong side. Came back tonight with Spiffy- and found the clever cache.
It was yet another beautiful weather night tonight so headed out with my caching buddy to find a few caches after dinner until dark. It was a pretty successful night.
We wandered up the path from a nearby cache and after a short look I noticed something out of place and there it was. Excellent camouflage, blends in so well. Really really good. A favourite from me.
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.
that was so cool the way it blended in and how you had to find the number on the bridge
Great hide!
Like others, I approached from the
oval side near Eltham stadium.
Navigated the improvised foot bridge
without incident. Saw no snakes.
Had an idea on the cache which after
some fun searching proved correct.
Loved watching and hearing the metro
trains travel this historic trestle bridge.
Very few people will take the time to appreciate the
historical significance of this structure. Thanks to TeamGodfreys,
Cachers in Melbourne and all over the world
Get to enjoy this history lesson.
Well done and TFTH!

Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, Another nice weather night for cachng. We found a mixed bag of caches tonight, from tricky hides, The Numbers were not many as we seem to have a long distances to travel to find a few these days.
Great effort on the hide. Thanks TeamGodfreys for the cache.

Drove into the carpark near the library and under the bridge to park adjacent to the cricket nets - that looked like a nice close spot to the cache. Following the path under the bridge I was surprised to see a real suburban passenger train crossing the bridge over my head (only read the cache description after) since I presumed the bridge would be like all other similar ones and no longer in service.
As the track turned at the creek, I had no idea how to cross over, however since other people had obviously had the same problem some gates have 'fallen' into the creek making crossing possible (with a little care, only one foot got wet). Once close to GZ I found a number of locations matching the clue, but then eventually found the very well crafted hide. TFTC.

Got within 10 metres and found other likely locations (around August '81) before we found the right spot. My girlfriend's first find, and only my second. What a great cache - very inventive.

Very sneaky, finaly found from behind as it were. Thanks for the cache found while at a nearby quilt show 5/10/213. Paul and Brenda
Found 12:55, after a brief search. Great camo work on this one, just like the real thing
TNLN, thanks TeamGodfreys

At first was on the wrong side of the creek, so I made my way around towards the cache. Understood the hint, but the cache still eluded me. Daylight was fading and I was about ready to throw in the towel when I checked one last spot. Clever! Great hide, this is definitely going on my favorites list. SL and TFTH.
Number 2 on Day 14 of the 31 Days of Geocaching Challenge.
This was going to be number one, but getting to the GZ took me closer to the Little Box Near Knox than this one, so this became number two.
Really loved the hiding spot, and the cache had a good disguise. The scenery was nice and the train makes a lot of noise when it passes above.
TNLN. TFTC.

Wow, this one was so cleverly hidden, I would never have thought to look there, but my clever son found it, thanks to the very clever hint (which I initially dismissed as being lame!).
Accompanied Mrs FV to area for business, took the opportunity to find a few caches with my free time. Didn't expect traffic in the area and bridge maintenance plus simesta break children making life so difficult.
Once in GZ area, a quick survey at & around and I broadly guessed where it might be found.
TeamGodfreys, enjoyed your cache and hide. Thanks

Thanks for the great cache. A nice little hide. Thanks to TeamGodfreys and good luck to other geocachers
