Can anyone give me a better clue pls, it's pretty hard to search for it. I slipped and twisted my ankle when I tried to check underneath the bridge.

Easy find if you pick the correct bend! Log sheets were dry but crumpled from being damp so some TLC needed. TFTC in this amazing spot with those stunning Sydney Blue Gums!

(Third cache) Loved it, it took us a bit to find it, it’s very well “camouflaged” if you know what I mean

A day out with the geo dog.  I decided to visit a few random caches in the area between Eastwood and Ryde. It turned out to be a nice day with a nice variety of hides.

A good find in a pocket of bushland.

I was not too convinced to find this one because of the recent DNFs. But I have spotted the small container in under a minute. It is in medium condition, a bit rusty.
 
25-Sep-22
Couldn’t find it near the bend in the bridge. Had the area flooded this year?
 
14-Aug-22
couldn't find it anywhere but mightve seen it in the lake
 
14-Aug-22
Think it was missing
 
06-Aug-22
Couple of quick smileys after tennis class, lunch and some Saturday shopping in the Ryde area. Cache needs some TLC as lid very rusted/broken/difficult to open and paper soggy/torn.
 
06-Aug-22
Spotted this one quickly from the right angle. Bit hard to open and nearly lost the broken lid we had to pry off with a key that flew into the grass.
 
14-Jun-22
Nice
 
04-Jun-22
We will be back to search for this one again. Mozzies destroyed us in our efforts to locate this cache.

Turned over every stone and blade of grass at the bend but could not find it.
 
29-May-22
good

The bridge does bend. No muggles about, just peace and quiet
 
16-Feb-22
Quick find, managed to find a dryish spot on the log to sign, and replaced off the ground. Thanks for the cache RyokaD3
 
31-Jan-22
Nice location if you avoid the mozzies. Incredible pattern on a tree. After deciding the hint referred to one of two possible places, the cache was quickly found and log was signed. Thanks!

Very nice park. Thank you for a quick cache!

#This Day#
Half day off from work and maybe our last time off until we have to leave. We just had to take advantage of this day to try and find The First Cache in Australia. Took an Uber there and walked back to get whatever caches are on the way.


#This Trip#
We are back in Australia this year, despite these rough COVID times. We are here for work, but every now and then some time off allows for a bit of geocaching. Visited Adelaide for a day but after that we spent most of the time in Sydney Olympic Park.

It is my first time in South Australia and NSW, so it is very nice to get these state souvenirs!

Thank you! Lovely spot.
 
30-Dec-20
No idea... Read old logs but to no avail. Which bend is the hint referring to? Is it attached to the bridge? Trees make GPS very jumpy and this cache very difficult.
 
02-Dec-20
Pleasing find after a few too many DNFs!

Cheers

Whoo hoo!!!! Found my first geocache!!!!
 
19-Jul-20
Four gremlins trying to find it but it was gremlindaddy that found it! Have to admit, it was actually a joint effort as I told him where to look from higher location. TFTC, loved it.

Find #: 2,394
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Pleasant winter morning
Cache condition: Good

I decided to explore the area via a jog 'n cache, and this was my sixth find. I was on my return journey, so was able to explore the opposite side of the creek, with its more substantial infrastructure. My phone first pointed me to the wrong bend, but it didn't take long to readjust - CIH! TNLNSL TFTC

Great location. Thanks for the finds today !!!!! Loved the little camo box consistency is key. Now time to head back to my area on the other side of SYD.
 
27-May-20
Nice hide, TFTC
 
24-May-20
On a nice little Sunday walk in the morning, and on the first cache hunt trip in about three months.

Hah, who would believe the smartiephone compass when there are better places for a hide? Or at least easier ones. The coast was clear for an easy find in an expected location. Though, in the middle of signing the log, a family with very lively young boys strolls pasts but the boys were soon gone further and the rest of the family with them. Time to return the container back.
Placed it into a spot which is hopefully a little more friendly in wet weather but nevertheless at the same coords and D level.

All good here. TFTC, RyokaD3!
 
21-May-20
Was just about to leave and I was having my final look and then I saw the camp behind the structural support. TFTC
 
09-May-20
Just as the hint says. But took a while as young muggles on scooters were enjoying the smooth slope. SL TFTC
 
28-Apr-20
