Due to the location being muggled, the cache will be deleted and another placed somewhere else. Thanks to the cachers that have found 'Ashdale Bridge'.
Thanks for bringing us here. We live close by and the playground for the geo grand kids is great.
Co-ords were spot on for us so a quick find with iluvtrekking. Think the difficulty rating is somewhat inflated.
I was coming back from a first to find and collected this 1 on the way to work. a nice easy 1 thank you! #760
Sometimes yer just get lucky, doncha? 2 mins at GZ co-ords within 1.5m and a lovely new area TFTH
Was close by picking up a Puzzle Cache, so decided to look for a couple of others close by.
Have not spent much time in this new suburb and by the looks of it my GPS maps need a bit
of an update to take into account all the new roads.
As I approached GZ, and saw the bridge I thought I was going to be in for quite a hunt.
Fortunately the Cache location was far more generously placed, making for an easy find.
Cheers for the Cache.

Stopped past on a very hot Boxing Day. Once at GZ, I read the recent logs which revealed that people were initially having trouble finding what was described as an easy cache. Then ROgue logs her visit and provides an updated coordinate. Subsequently, people are finding the cache no problems all claiming to use ROgue's coordinate. Only problem, I don't have a smart phone and the GPS doesn't show the coordinate attached to ROgue's log. No way I would waste time searching in the heat for a cache when I know that a more accurate coordinate is available so I went to find other caches.
Today it was much cooler with a beautiful breeze blowing, so I rode back to GZ with ROgue's coordinate typed into my GPS. Found cache in first spot I looked. Took TB and signed log.
Thanks for the cache Carpie4; it's a lovely park you found for a cache.

Easy find this time with R0gue's coords.
Was startled by several cockroaches that had taken up residence in the plastic bag. Signed log and got out of this heat! TFTC

So after an afternoons caching this was the last traditional we were to tackle before moving onto Geocaching.com.au moveable caches.
On arrival Mrs Felix poked her nose into the GPS but Mr Felix (for a change) was watching the surroundings and noted that there was a cacher already at GZ. He guessed who it was incorrectly but a cacher none the less.
So Mrs Felix marched on to Muggle Snapper1head... lol....
So a very quick find for us, the best sort we reckon... love meeting cachers on the hunt, particularly friends.

Well after searching I read logs to find some new co ords. Once I narrowed that down had cache in hand and signed and FelixII popped out from behind the trees. There I was caught red handed with the open cache in my hands. TFTC.
Come back and use R0gue's coordinate - perfect spot - Beautiful bridge - pity no water there... No swap, Signed the log. Thanks Carpie4.
I was out in the northern suburbs this afternoon and decided to try for this one. I had read the previous logs, so I was expecting a lengthy search, and when I first approached the GZ area I could see why.
However, I must have approached from the right direction, because I managed to find the cache within seconds of arriving. That _never_ happens to me! Usually I'm the one searching for hours when others say it was an easy find lol!
I took some coords and I've added them to this log in case they help anyone else. I also had to evict 2 cockroaches from the bag before I could open the cache.
Thanks for the cache Carpie4!

Quick visit this area... oh dear I couldn't see any contianer - search for fifteen mins so give up.. [xx(] [xx(]. will return back one day. Thanks Carpie4
Having more time on my hands tonight I gave it another go. I didn't go over old ground and had it in under 5 mins. Annoying to know how close I was last night.
STF at 1939 hrs on the 2nd day.

Well this seems anything but simple
Searched the bushes at the GZ for 10min but found nothing.

Braved terrible weather to find GHFB already on site. Joined in the hunt with no luck. After a while GHFB had to leave so i had the site to myself. After about another 15 minutes i finally had it in hand. Tftc. Took TB and will send it on its way soon.
This came in on my way home from work. I was only 10 minutes away so went to find a wet GZ. I hadn't been there long when I was joined by Bullyfam ( which was spooky for reasons known only to us!). We had a decent look and I left after about 20 minutes (early start tomorrow) leaving him to it. Congrats to him on his FTF.
