Didn't look too long for this, but after seeing a few DNFs in activity, decided not to spend too much longer. Hopefully owner will check on it soon. Fortunately didn't have to travel far for this one.
Believe this is not there. The only visible crack wide enough to hide has nothing. Could CO please checkout.??
Find #643
After a pretty lean July due to injury we are pretty keen to have a better August, so got out today despite the intermittent rain to get some (relatively) local caches we hadn't found before....
After heading to the wrong side of the bridge, we corrected ourselves in the steadily increasing rain to GZ - Samuel made the find, and his little hands effected the retrieval as well, I suspect my hands would have been far too thick! TFTC nellc

Was out in the area today with the local bushwalking club. Usually I only get to grab the caches I go right past. Lucky for me this was one of theses. Found quickly which was lucky to not hold up the group and continued my way TFTC
Grabbed with Paerole on our Eastern coast adventure. Couldn't miss the opportunity to grab a leap year cache! TYFTC 
Found tonight with Myrtie while on a long coastal road trip from adelaide to Brisbane. Had to grab one to fill in the Feb 29 block on the calendar, not waiting another 4 years :p. TFTC!
Nice and easy very quiet at night except for trains. Lucky my hands weren't any bigger. Thanks for the find!
Found it quick. Lucky I have small hands haha. Left a train to match the cache.
Spotted the container quickly, took my short stubby hands a while to manoeuvre it out but eventual success. Spotted one very long coal train. TFTC

My daughter found this one as the wood looked out of place. Our coordinates were a little off
A quick park and grab only had to wait for a few muggles to wander off from the station. The cache was in good nick. TFTC %OwnerName. [%Count]
All over place. Found geo log and a candle. And placed back generally wer i thought it had been. Still good fun though.
Found it, left a item to start swaps with, thanks, FYI make sure you are on the old bridge l.
We ventured out into the rain, rather than lounge around in the caravan watching DVD's.
With a lovely drive in the country, we picked up a variety of caches along the way.
Geo-hubby found cache quickly, but had to get geo-wife to retrieve.
Many thanks for placing this cache, nellc, for us and others to find.

Found two separate halves of a black camo sistema on the lawn in the right area. This is not a coincidence I thought! Reassembled, ran back to the car, added a new log and bag, and returned to what I think is the right place which matches the clue. TNLN TFTC
Do not have a clue. Whilst being watched by some young people down the street, we tried to search as best we could, without leaving the path. GPS had us on the corner, so it could not be in too many places. We could not find it. 2nd DNF today, and both trainspotters. 6/8
First cache for the day.. Jimmy loved this one & thought watching the trains was a bonus!! Took number puzzle & left a yoyo. TFTCSL
Went with a team who had found this cache previously..cache appears to be missing
Started on the wrong side of the road, but then when we moved to the right side we found it straight away!!!!
Didn't find it, saw two trains though!
Thought we found the spot, but no cache. We'll give it another go.

Had a couple of days in Maitland, so found some time to go out & grab a few caches.
No trains were spotted as we quickly retrieved this cache. It did need a small hand to grab
Thanks nellc

Found at 1:38 PM GAFF1. We did see a train going past while we were there. Actually it was going past all the while we were signing the log book and returning the cache in its hidey hole 
The National Pacific train was travelling at walking speed - how long does it take to get to the docks?
Thanks nellc.
