Now this was interesting one of us had to do it. I decided it would be me. I made it and signed but then it was difficult. 4 points of contact was required. We will leave the middle one for a better day.
Quick caching morning with WRAACie. Just as well she offered to do the leg work for this one. Good hint. TFTC
Found quickly with the hint. It's in good condition and accurate coords. Thanks. Enjoyed doing this bridge walk.
Our third quick find on the bridge. Cache guardian must have gone for a wander. Her larder was well supplied. We enjoyed the walk over and back. Admired the bird murals too. TFTC
Walked when I could have driven to this one. Nice hide and missed it first time around then read the hint. TFTC
This was the second find of the day. Great hint however a huge pregnant 8 legged friend has taken up residence so did not take the risk of signing the log. Have a pic for evidence if required. TFTC.
I found the way to drive into a spot close to GZ, plenty of parking there too. When I realised where the cache was hidden I was apprehensive but managed to reach the cache without any injuries. Returning to the car was even harder for me, but the cache was logged and returned as found. Thanks for a very good hide so close to a wetland.
almost thought i *left* this cache behind, but my friend helped me find it! beautiful views over this dino bridge tftc!
Today I have come to the Newcastle area for bird watching.It was a great day!!!We saw lots of excellent birds enjoying the wetlands on this dampish day. Our plan included visiting the Stockland sandspit which turned out to be a great idea as we were able to shelter under the bridge and eat our lunches during a brief storm. I was quite annoyed at myself for not checking for caches while we were at Ash Island and as we left I checked the geomap and saw I had walked within 5 metres of not one but two caches. Grrr!!!So once I sat down for lunch I checked for caches, having an inkling that there was one on the bridge. Bingo, just 24m away. While everyone else was eating I wandered off and found this cache. A bonus for today!!!Signed the new log which is still dry but I can see why it might get wet here as a large amount of water was flowing through the hiding area following a short downpour.TFTC # 5688
Did a maintenance check today and found the log wet so replaced it with a dry one.
Found on my second try... In the first place I "looked" on my first try! Got there eventually! TFTC and greetings from West Yorkshire
Has a new container back in same spot. Hopefully it will stay there please replace back in spot.
After a cache check today it appears to have gone missing so will disable it until I can find another suitable container. Sorry.
Found during a walk after work. Greetings from the Czech Republic and thank you for the cache
Found with cache_money119 and thecooldingo. Sneaky hiding spot. Great hide!!! Tftc
Navigated to 0 metres but could not find anything, this was our first experience so grandkids were a little disappointed. Will keep looking for others thought, still enjoyed the experience.
I was dropped off at the bridge as our friends where doing a shore bird count and there was not enough room in the boat for me, so I headed off to grab some caches. I walked as far as the Stockton ferry finding caches on the way before they called saying they were done.
A little bit of searching and I located this one

I have been looking at the Unique Difficulty/Terrain challenge (GC54RAX) for ages. I have been working on a plan so that I can complete the 25 unique caches in one day and today (9/9/2022) was the day. I woke at 445am, drove over 220km and walked over 25K steps to complete this challenge. All caches were signed and in good condition unless otherwise mentioned.
Cache 9 of 25. Have been before briefly and have no idea how I missed this. TFTC

A good brisk morning walk to start the day off well. From the West to the east, and return took me 1 hour. I walk slow. THis was a challenge, as the whole way, i was thinking it would be the same, but thankfully it wasnt to be. Took a little while to find, but really there is not too many places it could be. Tried reading the logs, but its changed position lately, so that is pointless. TFTC

Changed container and moved GZ slightly to a more secure place hopefully Also updated co-ords. Also left a TB..
With Covid restrictions will disable it until I can check it out. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Did a check today and all OK. It is outside of the safety fence, not on the road side.
Didn't find. And a little to close to major road, so didn't won't kids walking around there.
Out on a cool winter morning collecting a couple of caches, while looking for this cache a lightbuld moment had cache in hand. TFTC Yella Belly.
No luck with this one. Recently relocated. I think I'll need to wait until a few more people find it in its new location and hope one of them gives a helpful hint.
Had real trouble getting a good gps reading here. Gave it a pretty good look but no luck today
Couldn’t sign the log as my pen wouldn’t work then got eaten alive by mozzies took a photo as proof
Found with My Dad (DJANT) and my Brothers (dart16 & Jedi Anakin) I have my own account now and am trying to catch up to the boys Thanks for the cache.

As the original hide was being muggled too often I have moved it to what I hope will last longer. You do NOT have to go on the bridge at all to get the cache. I have changed it to a Nano in the hope muggles won't see it,

Unfortunately it appears to be missing again so will disable it until I can hide it better.
Curious things seen on approach to GZ. Caterpillars,shells,empty bottles,a pigeon that scared me when it flew over my head.
Thanks for this interesting series across the Dino bridge Yella Belly!
