Sadly I don't have time at the moment to repair or maintain this cache so I am archiving it for the time being.
Thanks to all those that took the time to find the cache during the summer. We hope you enjoyed the walk.

We found the easy way in & didn't have to cross the Bridge of Doom but Sig tried it just for fun! Must be a boy thing! We had no luck today after digging deeply so I am guessing it may be gone if the last log is any indication. We looked in the creek but couldn't see any evidence around.
Couldn't find the cache today so it may be gone. Could you please check? Nice location to put a cache.
Visited today and found the cache lid sitting on the bridge and the log book drenched and sitting on the bottom of the creek.
We usually cache during the week but it was such a nice day today we decided to make the most of it and tidy up a few loose caches around town.
We parked at the playing fields and it was an easy walk to the cache for a quick find. Didn't have to negotiate the bridge but tried it out anyway just for fun. Thanks redtwenty

Found at 3:07 PM GAFF1. On arrival we saw where the obvious spot was, but the cupboard was bare 
We were about to leave when we noticed something yellow in the creek and sure enough - it was the cache ready to be washed down further with the heavy rain that hit the area just 2 hours later.
So p-pprass crossed the creek on that plank, picked up the container and placed it in the tree hollow with some good cover - hope that is where it belongs?
Thanks RedTwenty.

Reperio at 1100.
On a beautiful day to be out and about, the family decided to go and find a couple of caches. We parked on the right side of the cache, and after the geodaughter and I walked to GZ, we quickly found the cache...and then crossed the dreaded Bridge Of Doom. We had fun here.

Found this one with the help of two of my grand kids.
Only one managed to try the water below by trying to clamber around the bank and slipped in!!!
Had to be the boy of course as he wasn't going to walk the plank!!

I didn't like my chances of getting over this bridge in one piece, fortunately we had parked in the right place and didn't need to cross it. The nearby fields were very busy today with a school competition in progress, and very noisy. Thanks for the hide in an interesting place.
Yay! I got my car back, and it needed a test drive to this cache. I parked near the sports fields and there were heaps of kids playing every type of sport on each of the fields and courts. I found a way into the bush and enjoyed the quiet as a contrast to the very noisy fields. The bush is a great noise absorbent. I walked across the bridge twice before finding the cache (with the help of the hint) then walked across it again and took a different route back to the car.
Thanks for the fun cache (I enjoyed crossing the little “bridge”)!

TFTC!! Geo wife was about to cross the bridge of doom when we decided to have a look around first & lucky we did, because it was on our side of the bridge. We must have taken a different path in. Glad I didnt have to cross that bridge haha =)
Took Mrs Grub Fred for a drive to pick up a few caches on a nice sunny afternoon, didn't have to walk the plank, came at it from the easy side, TFTC RedTwenty!!
Lol almost crossed the bridge before I realised I was on the correct side. Crossed it anyway though, just for fun

Quick easy grab, i knew exactly where this was, as i had hidden my own cache at the base of that tree, and was about to publish it, but was beaten to the punch..... Oops too slow
Headed up the Thin Black Line to Belmont early this morning to try my hand series of caches which will take you from the roundabout in Tingira Heights to the boat ramp at the Lions Park in Eleebana. A nice pleasant cool early morning walk through the bushland, Great views and plenty of wildlife and all manner of Birds. Great cache. TFTC

Yesterday afternoon a Challenge cache was published by MV that requires you to find 25 unique D/T combinations in one calander day. As no one local has this record and as it was a work/school night and that the cache was owned by MV and and and as Mr C doesn't start work until 7pm tonight we decided to make a list of 25 local caches with uniquie D/T ratings. We decided that we'd require more than 7 hours to do this so we started at midnight and cached until dawn.
As it was very very early in the morning we had the area to ourselves other than a few bats flying around above us. Had to use geosense and the hint as the coords are about 23m out.

After doing a few odd jobs in Floraville. I noticed this one was not far, so of I went with just enough day light.
Just checking whilst out on a Sunday stroll.
Checked coordinates and will update.

*FTF* Woohoo!! I saw this come up this afternoon, and was just about to go for it when a mate turned up for an unexpected visit. After yarning for a couple of hours, I left, not expecting to find a blank sheet.
I approached from the other side, near the tennis courts in the playing fields.
The paths here are really well marked and easy even with all the recent rain.
Arriving at my GPS's GZ, I saw nothing which rang a bell, and walked around until I found the creek and the plank. Not as bad as made out in the description!!
The cache was then quickly found and I was very pleased to see a still blank first page!
In a very obvious spot, but about 24m from my indicated GZ. I was going to leave a TB, but I reckon it is maybe a bit too close to the pathway, and unless covered well, may not last too long. TNLNSL TFTC
