TFTC. Little Watto is learning to ride the pedal bike today. Perfect series to tackle whilst we do that.
Cache 10 in the series is now ticked off! At first gps was jumping but eventually got to the right place in the end with log signed. TFTC
Found at night with spasekadet after a bit of searching, swapped some items and added stickers tftf
Managed to get #14 done today. New meds starting to have effect at last. Hope to get to this one soon.
Doing Fernleigh track on the bike and grabbing a couple caches on the way. The hint here was useful. TFTC!
Found but log and container is full of water. Drained from container but will need a new log and new waterproof bag Have added photo for reference Great find and great hiding spot though

Today was my first outing on the bike since busting my ribs. Seems some exercise was required Good coords made most of the (popular) Track finds fairly easy. There were a few doozys in the mix Later in the day I met the CO on the way back. It was most satisfying to get the wind in my face as I hammered the trail.
Yup, I looked at all the wrong things before spotting the right thing

Sue managed to sneak around and find this one, whilst I tried to get the etrex to settle. TFTC colleda
Came by this morning to get the cache. Felt like everyone else in Redhead was here along the track as well with all the bikes and scooters going past. Hope they didn't take much notice of me. Cache was a little bit damp inside but still mostly fine. TFTC!!! #2139
TFTC. A nice find thanks for the fun. I took the pathtag. Now Mighty Minions and I will get a few more so I can reach my exciting goal.
Found it, no problems here.
I returned to the Fernleigh Track today where the caches are deceptively further apart than they appear on the map. 20K steps all up today. Going to have to give it a third try.

Not a DNF for us today, simply a “did not look”, since it was smoko time at the nearby workplace, and we didn’t want to draw attention to what we would be doing here. We decided to move on.
Thanks colleda

For the month of October my Aunt and I are under taking a 100kM walk for Mental Health. Todays mission was to walk 10kM’s in one go and we decided to tackle the flattest part of the Fernleigh Track.
It was a cooler day today which was a blessing for such a long walk, not reaching over 20 degrees.
We even had a shower of rain to walk through but that didn’t stop us!
Container in good condition. Log book dry. Good hint. TFTCSL Thanks for placing colleda

Out caching with GeoIan today, and lucky the weather held off with no rain. A few spots to look in once had the hint, cache in hand. TFTC
Funny as, walking towards this cache location, and Madrabbitoh and i are listeneing to the bell birds along the way. Mad says"where are these birds?" and then one runs straight in front of where we were walking. There! is ay. LOL. As with all trails along popular routes, this cache proved difficult to look for with the amount of muggle traffic. You dont see anyone as you walk to this one, but then once at GZ, its muggleville. Only just managed to find the clue, as Mad read it out. TFTC.
Checked today. Cache still there but a large piece of paper bark had fallen covering the hint. Log was getting a bit tatty so I have replaced it with Write in the Rain sheet.
Found with My Dad (DJANT) and my Brothers (dart16 & Jedi Anakin) I have my own account now and am trying to catch up to the boys 
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.Quick easy find after realising it wasnt where i first looked. That would have been too easy
Found this one in the dark which was tricky. Was looking at the wrong terracotta at first but then we found the right piece. TFTC
Solo caching this afternoon getting some Mystery at the Museum clues. I was fooled by the red herring then not long after found the cache hide! Found and returned just before a muggle was in sight.

Fooled by the wrong thing at first but persevered to make the find. Thanks for the cache Colleda Telnet replaced as found sl
Found with Beary_Unicorns on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning. The frogs were singing loudly this morning nearby , tftc
There is a bit of terracotta lying around everywhere, but after a few tries I found the right one. TFTC
TFTCWe had to revisit the area for another camping weekend and log a few more caches after the OZGeoMuster Mega weekend. It was a great bit of fun and still enjoying the area,
Grabbed this on whilst cycling the Fernleigh Track, Thanks colleda.
(Smashed by Mozzies on several parts of the track).

During the oz muster weekend I rode my mountain bike while picking up caches along the way on Fernleigh Track from Belmont to the tunnel and back,The ride was great and I had alot of fun on here.
Thanks to all the cache owners for placing your caches along this trail and providing a top day out.
I found alot of caches on my ride so I apologize for my repeated logs.

A diversion from the OZGM trail for a while to complete the Fernleigh Track series with Darksidedan and BlueIris. TFTC colleda
Unfortunately no TB in this cache. Well this one was not a great place for a cache. Spent a long time searching through rubbish to find it. Rusted metal and glass do not make this location safe. I would kindly ask if the owner could move to safer area further away. Sad to see lots and lots of rubbish around GZ.
General notes: Huge day caching from Morissett to Newcastle with Froggycache and Blue Iris. An early rise to get a good start on the Fernliegh series, and to enjoy the easy flat walk from 20 to 0. Walked through subtropical forest to open eucalypts and marshland. Spent some time finding each cache and even found one that baffled many! Would highly recommend this series (but byo mozzie repellant!). Thanks for the series - we had a ball! TFTC

Found! we are really enjoying all the different caches and hides great job putting this all together colleda TFTC! Grabbed the TB and will move it along
had a really fun time with my great dad BRYZEE it was a really great place TFTC
Quickly spotted the wrong object so don't bother looking in the rubbish. Widened search area tried one last spot and bingo.
This one took a bit of searching. I originally spied the obvious thing fitting the hint, and a lump of concrete it looked to have broken from, but no joy, but I thought, given how much rubbish is dumped here, there might be something else matching the hint and so there was. Thanks for the hide.
Today my wife (spy79) and I decided to ride the Fernleigh track. Spy79 had done the track before but never while hunting geocaches along the way.
We really enjoyed this series only missed 3 of the (well...) 21.
We'll return with other riding geocachers another day.
TFTC and the fantastic day out.

Contactpete and I decided to go for a bike ride and get the Fernleigh track series. It was due to pour with rain but we thought we would give it a go. Well the day was bright blue sunny skies and we had a great ride.
This cache was good and Pete came up trumps on this one. Easy find, although I was a bit weary due to the grass length and a slightly warmer day....

This one recently recorded its first DNF (after 74 finds) so we checked on it today thinking it must be gone but it was still there! We brought along a replacement and swapped it over for the old cache so all is good.
