SGBR Trail #3 Build A Bridge Shepparton, Victoria, Australia
By kamikaze cacher on 21-May-13. Waypoint GC4CKBM

Cache Series Closed, Thanks to all who attempted

will check asap

At least we think we found the right one! teamG

Sadly, I was also unable to locate this one. I've been here three times in the last two weeks - once, the rain got the better of me, the next time I looked for ages and this evening, my phone decided to lose signal so the search was aborted. I'm going to email CO and hope to turn this frown upside down!

After searching high and low we had to concede defeat with this one, with misschief18 and Bentley TB

This one proved be too well hidden for us today. I was with taurus1955 and BentleyTB. Thought we searched every nook and cranny.

TB visit

Found it!

We looked high and low but could not find the cache. Very disappointed as we travelled to Shepparton just to do this series and now it will be incomplete. Can you please check if this is still here so that we can find all in the series?

Nice easy find tftc

Nice easy one, GPS/co-ords off a little, but title made it easy! TFTC.

we were near the bridge but still we saw spiders webs. it was hard to find in the dark.

Found this one pretty easily during our walk, don't let the hint fool you because it's not like that anymore. Thanks to kamikaze cacher.

Non è stato difficile da trovare ma non fatevi fuorviare dall'indizio perché non corrisponde più a verità. Grazie all'owner.

Jacopo e Lisa

Quick find without juggles around. Another gone off my list.

This one almost had me stumped. Actually just about had my hand on it a couple of times before I actually found it. I think the hint had me bamboozled because the cache isn't magnetic. Sl TFTC

Our first visit to Sheppardton, staying for a few days to cache around the area.
We made our way along the trail, missed a few caches & left a few caches.
This was one we picked up, & we hope to return another day to complete the trail.
Many thanks for placing this cache, kamikaze cacher, for us and others to find.

Not too hard to locate this one.

Me wander around the SGBR continued on foot from #2, and I soon found the spanner in the works
This spanner is quite impressive
But the see through floor was almost me undoing [:o]

Just after I extracted the cache, and wandered out from there, a muggle with a bike appeared above me [:o]
"Hello up there !!", I said.
"Found any snakes yet ?", replied the muggle.
"Not yet !!"

Muggle wandered off across the bridge and I completed signing the logbook and putting the cache back

TFTC.

Cache in good condition, thanks.

Was easy this time, the grass not so long.

A quick find, log book was a bit damp but still able to sign, TFTC

Another success for us today with Tamzy TFTC

Feeling very patriotic in my Aussie flag polo shirt getting approval from passing muggles as i sit and wait for a break in the traffick to find this early morning cache. My goodness every man abd his dog are out this Australia day.

Found it but too many Muggles to sign. awesome area. wish I had dirt track like these when I was a kid

Found it but no pen :/

Love this cache have been over this bridge a thousand times and would never have known this was here!!

Suscoe headed across to Shepparton today from Benalla for a big day out.
This was our 12th find of quite a few.
A quick stop here, then we had to wait for some locals to exit the area before logging and returning.
Thanks to kamikaze cacher for this hide, good spot.

It's only 140km from home to Seymour but it took us more than 10 hours for the return trip today courtesy of a few caching detours

We knocked over a few of this series a few weeks ago. Today we managed to find a few more and have now finished this end of the series.

Thank you for the cache kamikaze cacher.
#3017th @ 1700hrs.

Took a little while but found it in the end.

Found it. No longer magnetic.

While out on the hunt I was eyeing off the numerous trails that were just screaming out MTB lol. Maybe next time I'm in the area. Cache found safe and well.

Found @ 12:16pm, find # 3604.

While out on the hunt for caches, this one was found.
Main log to follow at a later time.

Thanks to kamikaze cacher for placing this cache.

On our way back to the south coast today but before we leave Shepp we aim to find a few of the SGBR Series.

Thank goodness we've found one bridge cache this morning. All good.

Good another bridge to our collection

Found today while in Shepparton and trying to knock off a few of this series.

#848 A sensational sunny Winter's day meant there were lots of muggles out and about enjoying the sunshine along this trail. We managed to retrieve this cache and sign the log between muggles. TFTC and nice hide kamikaze cacher.

Enjoyed the walk thanks!!

Was a great find.

Thankfully we found it and kids are back on board. (couldn't find previous one)

Finally getting around to starting this series. Great weather for caching today. Found with GeoJnr & GeoTilly. TFTC.

Thankfully no trolls or muggles here today. Thank you for the hide

Cache replaced
All correct

Will get this one back online asap

We walked part of the SGBR Trail on our last visit in March and as we had some time to kill while our van fridge was being fixed we passed the time with a few more of this series of caches. Like others we found an empty container but left a temporary log sheet. TFTC.

Felix and I went for a walk this afternoon to get some sunshine so I decided to introduce him to a few caches. This was the first on our trip but unfortunately I hadn't paid enough attention to the logs and only found a container. The CO was good enough to let me log it and I am grateful for that. Between the two boys I'm yet to ride to any of these caches but I've sure done a lot of walking.

Thanks,

R + F

Definitely needs maintenance.

We found the lid and the broken base of the plastic container scattered near the location but there was no magnet/contents inside so we could not log our visit. Returned broken empty container to co ordinates.

We realized we didn't write down the co-ordinates for cache #6 and so went to re-visit this cache. All we found was the smashed remains of the container with nothing inside

found with my little fellow - he's hooked at only 7!

That's a great looking bridge I had no idea this was here. Found with Cybergran V. A great location TFTC

Wozzle68 and I on the trail again today, my 5th find. I really appreciate the work gone into by volunteers to set up and maintain these caches

Thanks for the cache. Had to do it a little stealthy.

After a lateish start to the morning, decided we would only head to Shep for some caching & a visit to SPC.

Time to take care of some puzzles and this trail, although going for the easier almost drive bys today due to Greg back injury.

I walked from previous & Greg drove up. Trolls under the bridge scared the daylights out of 2 young women who came up on us quickly. Poor thing, her heart is probably still a flutter. TFTC SL

Reperio at 1615.

Had to come into Shepparton to pick up a few things and catch up with family...and in passing through...stopped to grab a few caches. This was the second cache in this series found today, and I enjoyed the short walk.

Gratias Team Kamikaze.

Both the coordinates and the hint were good here. Regardless, I gave my head a good hit when I found the cache(!) although the magnetic aspect of it appears to have gone.

Last time I was here this cache was MIA so glad to see it back up TFTC Team Kamikaze

Out with our son and his family today to find this cache on our second attempt, our young 5 year old grandson spotted this one . TFTC it is not magnetic anymore

Great that this cache is back. Took purple people eater. Dropped TB coin.

cantainer replaced all good to go

DNF after picking up SGBR#1 and #2 whilst out geo-caching with my four-year-old geo-daughter. Didn't realise this cache had been temporarily disabled until we got home - no wonder we couldn't find it. Looking forward to finding it another time...

will replace on weekend

Checked on cache will replace container asap

No luck today will try again another day

After phoning a friend I am convinced this is missing. Would be great if the owner could check on it

Found GZ and was unable to find anything. There was a bit of muggle activity which was hindering a real decent look. Oh well, i've spent too long here, time to move on. Better luck with the next one.

We spent a fair length of time up down around and under, but no luck. Maybe our eyes were not focused properly, will try again another day.

Where is it? I think I've searched every nook and cranny. I must be walking over, around and under with my eyes shut.

One of fifty four caches found today during a cache run up north. Making my way through Euroa and then on into Shepparton to try and find the caches in the SGBR series. With not have much luck with that and spending a lot longer there than I wanted, I abandoned that after finding the fourth cache and a DNF on the fifth so I decided to head on up to Finley then back down to complete the Picola Kid's Alphabet series which was fun to do. A great day overall with only two DNF's and two first to finds as well.
A short walk to GZ and the cache was soon found. Thanks.

A trip to SGBR for a small caching ride through Shepparton with Bettyboo3747.
The big trees were giving the GPSr some grief and several caches were a bit out (a couple we have included our find co-ords). A nice ride along the trail on a rare sunny day.
Flashy bridge! Fortunately someone else had done all the work and built the bridge, all we had to do was find it!
I took one side, and BB the other. She spotted it, but it was on my side.
Collected our second clue and we were off.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 3892. Joint 3rdTF with Robmc. We had high hopes for today's ride knowing that there were 20/21? caches to find and that it was a newly released series. However, there were quite a few damp spots as a result of so much rain and the coordinates were a long way out on many caches which slowed the searches considerably and caused a lot of frustration.

A quick find for us today as we were able to spot it easily. Most hides were not so easy so we were thankful for this one. Signed log, collected our clue and we were on our way. TFTC

It didn't take long to locate this one ... TFTC

WELL DONE Aussie Fun Seakers on your 1000
What a journey
Aussie Fun Seakers introduced us to Geocaching 2 years ago and we have many pleasant days and miles caching with them
It is a thrill to be with them on them at their 1000 and bonus to share a FTF with them also.

Big thanks also to kamikaze catcher and all the others that place caches because with there being caches out there to find there would be no caching . We have been to and seen many spots throughout Australia we would not have been to except for geocaching.
TFTC

WooHoo our 1000th find in the company of mile high RnC.
And aother joint FTF into the bargain. Great hiding spot. Signed log and replaced. TNLN. TFTC.
