Went to the location found a perfect spot for a cache but we could not find anything

You suck

Nice energetic find. Watch out for the birds nest Smile

TFTC! Found with Kekcode! Sneaky! We searched under the bridge for ages lol
 
23-Jun-24
TFTC. We began at the total wrong area and realised it couldn't be in the water. So we changed tactics and climbed the stairs. What a beautiful view for our 100th Find!!!!!
 
16-Jun-24
Great one. Good fun
 
28-Apr-24
A great day by the river. Tricky with all the muggles

this little green dot has sat on our map fpr way too long. today crossing the bridge we decided to go find it. we took the wro g approach first, then re eveluated. katie put her hand straight on it. be gone little green dot
 
02-Oct-23
Thought we might have to go into the water for this one! Loved this cache. Thanks
 
23-Aug-23
This was tricky as I think it was moved from original spot by a metre or two so we put it closer to navigation point. Thanks for the bridge experience
 
30-Jul-23
Took the stairs up, what a great view even saw a rainbow. Found what would be a great hiding spot at GZ, but no cache
 
15-Jun-23
TY - certainly made us think
 
12-Jun-23
Were looking for a while before reading some of the activity and realising we were on the complete wrong track. When you think the cache can't be in the water, you are on absolutely the right track. Rethink your approach. A very nice find, quick but challenging, so thank you very much to the creator!

Found a cable for that had been cut on top of location. Checked under bride for half hour and it seems to be lost again
 
18-Dec-22
Found quickly this time. Thanks for replacing the cache so quickly.
Went and had a look for previous lost caches but all I found was push bikes, a mattress and a tyre.
Thanks for the cache GoldJ!

TFTC! Very clever!! Gold class!
 
25-Apr-22
Very clever. This one had us very confused to start with. After climbing down the steep bank we thought no way it can be in the water. And then ….. lightbulb moment. Look up.
 
25-Apr-22
After searching for ages and the cache showing in the water , the penny dropped. Very clever hide. cheers

Apples and big muffin fluffs
 
24-Jan-22
This one was a little tricky!
Had us in the right spot but a tad low…
Eventually went for a little walk and found it safe and sound!
Wrote in the log and put him back in his hiding hole!
Also grabbed the trackable!

Easy to find, a little rusty to open dough...
 
24-Apr-21
3/3 today with Miss3B. We've had a couple of days hanging around both ends of the Bridge now and showing her the expansion gaps when she was asking about the noise. Great opportunity to show her today after searching low and high for this one.

First time on the bridge on foot tftgc

Was mildly confused as the gps lead me directly to this hahah. I soon figured out what was going on. Found the geocache but could not sign as the rust has made it difficult to open- LITS

Had a look for this one a few years ago when I first started caching, but had no idea what I was looking for back then.
Today I had some spare time, and a bit more experience, and made a quick easy find. Was a bit windy at the GZ, but thankfully nothing blew away while signing the log.

Going back across the Bowen Bridge to camp, so what better reason than to try for the hides at each end. Missed the one on the western shore, having overshot the turnoff, so contented ourselves with the eastern side. Thought it was under the bridge, but then realised we would either have to swim and scale, fly or find an alternative route. Their are stairs people for your convenience. TFTC GoldJ Smile

Quick find when cycling across the bridge along the sidetrack. TFTC!

Had a bit better luck with the correct altitude this time. TFTC!
 
06-Jun-19
Decided to park on the Western Shore to get a nice solid walk in during lunchtime, thanks Goldj for the exercise. Did my homework before hand so it was a nice easy find and logged quickly with muggles none the wiser. All good at GZ and the hide.
 
21-May-19
Enjoyed walked to GZ, easy spot , good dry..
TFTC Smile
 
20-Apr-19
Found it not where gps says but higher above
 
06-Apr-19
This was a tricky one, a lot of the potential hints were a bum steer but once I got on top of where I needed to be we found it.
 
30-Mar-19
Found it
 
29-Mar-19
Today we are in the area from Old Beach.
Here we wanted to catch some smilies on our map.
This cache was after a short search found and signed.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Thanks for the cache GoldJ. Out and about today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP. After a nice walk up Goat's Hill earlier in the day, it was decided to try and grab a few caches that didn't require such a big walk. This one has been on my 'to do' list for ages, and as it wasn't blowing a gale today, decided to head to GZ. A nice quick find, with the log quickly signed and cache returned. Cheers.
 
09-Feb-19
Great find yes not where I thought but we got it
 
05-Jan-19
Tassie Trip Day 108 - Today we decided that it was a quiet day however we needed to collect some caches and some groceries this was a short trip.

This was a quick trip to find it and after parking under the bridge and going the wrong way it was soon realised that it was not where we initially went toward and the cache was soon found it that nice hidden place.

Thanks GoldJ for bring us here.

One of the best geocaches I've found yet. TFTC

Found by charlie and Sarah
 
28-Sep-18
David and Penelope's Cleburne provided great access to this well positioned cache. A quick visit before Friday's first tennis match. TFTC
 
26-Sep-18
When I realised where it was I got lucky there was a break in the traffic. As I signed the log it was busy, busy, busy. Then another break in the traffic allowed me to put it back.
 
23-Sep-18
I stopped by for a quick attempt at this one a month ago, but ran out of time to complete it. It did convince me to take my caching to a whole new level though, and this attempt was successful. Who would have thought that such a hiding spot was here? A good pick up GoldJ and TFTC. I added my calling card before replacing as found (as discreetly as possible given the traffic!).
 
30-Jul-18
Tried not to look too dodgy after we discovered where we were meant to be. Tftc
 
28-Jun-18
Out on a cold misty morning to get a few new caches which have gone down since our last visit to Tas, TFTC
