Thought we were going to find a Golden Lake down this road but no! Although further down looks like it could get some water when it rains a lot. Good views of the bridge. A nice scenic country too if you keep going along the road, over the bridge and wind your way around to Pigoreet. TFTC

Found it today with Sunsong1, a nice day for a drive around the area and pick up a few more smilies faces, nice views of the local farmland, will have to come back during different seasons to see how much it changes as today it is dry and brown, I will look forward to seeing this area a lush green.TFTC
 
01-Feb-19
I never did find the Golden Lake but the cache I did find and that was the main priority.
I groaned when I saw micro, but grinned a few seconds later when out popped a small container. Retraced my steps to the main road.
Cheers

What a great detour to a place from which to view the trestle bridge Big Grin
And after viewing the views,
I found the cache Big Grin
 
17-Jan-19
Heading home to Portland with SuperPop we were using the roads a bit less travelled hoping to pick up some caches.
After having a meal in the Blackwood Pub and grabbing a couple of caches near there we thought we had better start making some miles and this cache was the next one we stopped at.
We do agree that it was an excellent alternate view of Nimmons bridge and of the rolling hills which unfortunately in the middle of summer were certainly not as green as what they would be had we visited a few months back.
We were a little concerned as we approached gz thinking that elevation may have been a problem but once we arrived we realised our fears where not necessary and the cache was a nice easy find and the log book now contains our names.

Many thanks wozzle68 for showing us this great location.

Picked our way through the grazing angus, who were not amused to be interrupted by cachers, to make an easy find. TFTC

Wonderfully picturesque views from GZ. Easy find just a short drive off the main road. TFTC
 
13-Nov-18
Word must have got around because the cows at this GZ all walked off in discuss as soon as I approached the GZ, some even ran. Anyway I found a cache in good condition. TFTV.

En route from Warrnambool to Ballarat, heading for the Warrenheip Creek CITO, making time for a couple of detours to appease our cache addiction. We were a little miffed about the place name here, but the road led us to a neat good sized cache.

Thanks 'wozzle68' for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Found It.......We had decided to finish the Planetary Challenge last weekend and had Gemma's Christmas series in our sight. After working this morning we set off grabbing lunch as we slipped through Ballarat. After finishing Gemmas series we set off collecting a few more caches as we went as we don't often get up here with nice weather. After a quick dash the cache was located and with the log signed we decided to call it a day and head home. Thanks wozzle68 for the cache

Day 3 at Smythesdale
This was a bonus cache we found on the way to where we started.
We headed to Linton to finish the BSRT Series that we started yesterday. I found the caches harder to find on this leg, so many micro's.
This was a nice series to walk, the weather being a little kind meaning it wasn't raining but very cold.
Thanks for placing this cache wozzle68
 
29-Jul-15
Well a few days in Smythesdale saw fine weather today but Freezing.

We decided to risk it and off we set out in the GeoCruiser with the GeoBikes on the rack towards Linton.

We also managed to grab a few local caches once had the bikes back on the GeoCruiser and heading towards camp.

Out and about this morning with the two geokids (aged 4 & 5) placing some caches on the BSRT. After walking over Nimmons Bridge we drove around here to view it from afar.

Suscoe's 19th find of today on our Ballarat and surrounds adventure in the company of our rogaining sister.
A rainy day was settling in and more was coming from the North West.
With a break in the downpour we had the chance to collect this cache in some weak sunshine.
The log was a little damp but who could be surprised after all that rain.
Thanks to wozzle68 for sharing this local history with us.

Beautiful day for it. Love the bridge. TFTC

Found on a maintenance trip to a cache to Linton. We decided to detour to a few unfound caches on the way which made the usual 30 minute trip take about 4 hours.

Mrs Fergzter made the find on this one and we really enjoyed seeing Nimmons bridge from this vantage point. Thanks for bringing me here Wozzle68.
