Found with icw after we allowed two muggles and their dog to cross the bridge and walk up the hill. The cache was in the first place I looked, right where the GPSr was pointing. Tftc.
When Mrs Riddell uncovered this one, Mr a Riddell exclaimed well bugger me!It was totally unintended as she bent down to pick something up and just happened to automatically pick the nearest object haphazardly looking and it was Bingo first look. Surprised she looked at the phone bang on 0 m!TFTC
We found your fairy treasure, its the first one we found using the app... we left a pink flower in your container... we will guard this fairy treasure because we live very very close...
What a cute name for a cache!as we arrived, there was a big dog that may have made the fairies a little shy today.we couldn't find their glitter trail nor ask for a wish. in their hidey hole, spiffy- and I made friends with some Lego people and took them with us for an adventure.thanks for the cache and showing us another area.
With the enjoyment and fun last Saturday with the JuzzMagic caches KristysAdventures, Snips and Co and myself headed back out here to finish off the current ones even though we knew some others were coming. Of course they then got published just after we got back home! Snips and Co joined us for a little with the geodog but after completing half a dozen or so decided to leave us to continue by ourselves.After a nice lunch break we looked for a few others in the area and this one the maps took us way around to get here when we could have gone much quicker from the other side and walked over the bridge. Oh well, that's what GPS does tries to get you as close as possible!Thanks heymissjo for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
Great bridge although the weeds are taking over the stream/creek. Quick find at GZ. We have cheated and drove between caches as we are time poor and need to cache whilst the sun is out.
Decided to drop off a few newly minted trackables, and as this one was on the way to Eastland it seemed like the perfect spot.
Cache is dry and in good condition!

I usually do not dare tread where fairies hide, as the trickery of the fae has always terrified me, but the allure of the streak star souvenir was just to great for me today. With the new [Wheel of Challenges Challenge](https://www.geocaching.com/play/souvenircampaign/wheelofchallenges) requiring me to make a find today and with only limited time, I made my venture to one of my nearest unfound traditional caches.
Once I arrived at GZ I could see why the fairies had claim this area as their home. A beautiful location hidden away. It's areas like these that is the original reason I fell in love with geocaching, hidden beautiful locations that I would have never known about if it wasn't for this great hobby of ours.
I was parking the geomobile just as a muggle couple were making their way across the bridge. So I just held tight until they were out of sight and then I made my approach. Lucky for me my phone homed in quite quickly and the cache was found in the first place I look.
So I was able to sign the log and replace the cache before any fairies took notice of me.
*Not today fairies!*
A big thanks to [heymissjo](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=6364a7b8-7c3b-4a79-b5f1-caa3f1677964&wid=9ed0b5c6-59ac-4863-8116-6b289bc74a97&ds=2) for bringing me here to this beautiful hidden gem. TFTC.
**Cache Maintenance Status**
The cache container was in good shape, but most of the paint has now chipped off revealing the original container colour. The logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

We didn't find any fairies today but a nicely hidden cache that was overlooked on the first visit. This time it was spotted very quickly, which was fortunate as it was retrieved and signed on a gloomy afternoon with the sky threatening a large downpour.
It is surprising the cache and log have remained in such good condition here. Perhaps a little bit of fairy magic after all.
Thanks for placing this cache heymissjo.

Found it! Well I ventured where trolls hide and didn’t find it. Once back in daylight, spotted a potential hiding place and on closer inspection I found the cache. So far a very successful afternoon of caching. TFTC SL too bad about all the weeds in the creek.
This is such a lovely bridge. I would have liked to find a fairy whom I could kidnap to wave the magic wand to clean my house. Unfortunately I only found lots of weeds and the cache. Great spot for a cache.
Lovely spot, no fairies visible today though. Log was very slightly damp.
Great little hide. All still in great condition. Nice and dry despite the surrounding area being so wet. TFTC
Out for an arvo run around Montrose with quiet1_au, this was next on our list. q1 is right we did approach from completely different directions ... our car GPS took us to the other side of the bridge to him!!! lol After a little look around JMelb was the successful one this time.

GJMMelb and I ended up approaching GZ from completely different directions. I parked up the road a bit and walked down as there were no suitable spots close by, so was there before them and had a very brief search (in the wrong - but not far wrong) spot. G&J came from the other road and after a short search J' had found it. TFTC

Still hear after all these months since last being found. Log nice and dry overall and cache in good condition. A sneaky little hide and even when I found its location wondered if it was actually it prior to revealing that it was. A big TFTC
It had me stumped for a bit with all geo trails around. But spotted it eventually. TFTC
We have are grandchildren staying with us during the school holidays and decided they needed a trip out. This cache had an appropriate name for to suit the children and fortunately it was quick find once the GPS device had settled. Now off for another at a nearby playground. Thanks to heymissjo for the cache.
It was a sensational Autumn day to be out bike caching in my 5km zone.
I always thought fairies liked to hang out at the bottom of the garden, but these ones must like the higher ground.
I was initially led astray by the GPS, but made the find in this little spot I'd never visited before.

Found @07:14 #7625
A unexpected bridge didn't know it existed. A quick find this morning which was great. Hopefully the container is water tight as the zip lock bag offers no protection.
Day 255 of 365 completed.

What a nice little tucked away spot in the foothills. Cool on a hot afternoon. Not too hard to find but definitely not where I was expecting. Thanks.
I was in the area to visit My Mum so decided to grab a few caches while it town, hard to believe its been three years since I moved from the area and quiet a few new caches are now on the map.
This was one of the caches I fond today. Made quick work of this park and grab.
Thanks heymissjo for the cache.

Nice find to add for our day of caching. Had us confused at first, but then we found after thinking a bit harder.
It's been so long since we've been out caching. The kids have had that many screen days it was time to get them off the couch and out into the world again. Much grumbling proceeded so I chose a short walk with a couple of caches to break us back in. I didn't realise there was no path to the park nearby so this turned into a drive-by. Although it took us a while to find it, so out of practice and got distracted with information. Anyhoo, happily we found it without disturbing the fairies so we went on our way.
Out for some exercise and to pick up another couple of caches to fill another day on the caching calendar. What a quaint little bridge. We looked up and down and around and around then Mrs Pooky looked in a spot near where MR Pooky had previously looked and made the find which was very high and dry. And yes we nearly lost the cache container as well. TFTC. TNLN.
With the easing of stage 4 restrictions being announced, I am enabling my caches. Please remember to continue to socially distance and use appropriate hand hygiene.
Due to the new Covid 19 restrictions geocaching is not a reason to be out so I am disabling my caches untill safe to enable again. Please stay home and be safe.
I hate it when people say 'easy find' cos they're often the ones that I take 15min to find but.... easy find.
Found in the first place we looked, which left us time to admire the rainbow art in the area.
After visiting this spot 4 times trying to find this cache, we finally found it! This was fun!
Out with geokids expecting this to be an easy one. Lots of muggle neighbours in their front yards and the street, hindering our search. Not in any of the obvious to us places. We will be back to visit this cute little bridge!
I met up with day1976 nearby, to do a few cache this arvo. I had looked for this one a few days prior, but somehow didn't find it. Came back today and looked in the same areas and also many other areas, we were searching for ages until day1976 found it in a place I had look a few times already, he hadn't looked there because he had seen me look there. Its so easy a newbie can find it!
Quick park and grab here. Nice place for a cache. Thanks for brings us here and tftc
Nice find on this one!
Needs a new ziplock bag to keep the log dry, as the current one is broken

Suscoe was heading homewards today after a delightful few days in the Dandenongs.
It was a pleasant day again with some cloudy skies and a few glimpses of sunshine here and there.
We headed out of the Dandenongs by the northward road and then spent our time caching around Montrose, Kilsyth and Croydon beforeheading home mid afternoon.
It certainly was interesting seeing the Dandenongs from this side and it closed off a wonderful couple of days in a fitting manner.
Thanks to heymissjo for this hide, we have learned a lot about the dead end streets around this area today, but that did not prevent us from fining the cache.

Ooooh, this one took a while. My GPS was a few metres out and I was scrabbling about in all the wrong places. Finally, I expanded my perimeter and there it was! Unfortunately I had catastrophic pen failure so inscribed my name on the log inklessly. Photo to prove my presence . TFTC
This cache has us wondering what possibilities there were to hide a cache on/near the bridge. But after a little bit of searching, Geo-Son came up with the goods. Tftc heymissjo
Well I've made it to the second day of the 7 day streak challenge. Never HAD to find caches before. Can't say I like it. Thanks for the cache.
I originally found this cache with my Mum heymissjo, but now that I have my own account, I am logging. Thanks for the cache.
For the past few years I have cached as part of "team heymissjo", but now I am old enough to have my own account so logging the find. Thanks for the cache.
