A Bridge Too Far Woolooware, New South Wales, Australia

Interesting construction, a bridge well built but closed off for use.It did not take long, though, to spot the hide and then retrieve it for signing and replacing.

TFTC found it many days ago but just know we log in. Coordinatea are mowing but place is nice and a think empty. No people there.

Found it! Was looking on the wrong side of bridge but then decided to use something to help look under and there it was. TFTC!

Figured out where we were supposed to look and saw it when I turned in the right direction

Coordinates were off for us but found by looking at previous logs. Found after a great sharks win. TFTC

After a good sharks win we were able to find the cache TFTC

2nd time here and came back with tall GC partner. Wouldnt have found it with out him. Too high for the average person!

Tftc got it on the second try

#141 Definitely took some searching to find this one but luckily JacJaac was able to pull out the win

141. A very sneaky hide. Too scared to be sticking my fingers in spots I cant see so I used my phone to have a look around and found it not long after ????

Found It!I got lucky here and found this one in the first spot I put my hand. The water here doesn't smell to good.TFTC

Had some time to waste so a couple of caches were the answer. Bit of logical thinking and this one was quickly located and signed. TFTC MavEtJuFind 7600 logged from cgeo:

#10 Cycle down to Kurnell and Cronulla. Collected this one on the way. Bit of monkeying around here and happy to be quickly rewarded, with no muggle traffic around. Thanks for placing this cache on a loverly cycle route MavEtJu #2642

Very high up- thank goodness for sticks TFTC

We came a while at sunset and had no luck, returned today and was able to check spots hard to reach last time and soon had CIH. Awesome hide

Not Happy JAN

Just in reachTFTC

OCW Geospark62. Despite the cache being shown as on other side of creek Geosenses told us just look where we would put it. Well not me Im too short ! Lucky Geospark62 was with me. TFTC

This was in the category of Ive checked every possible spot and about to depart, then decided to check every possible spot again and found it in the second place Id looked!! Youd think by now Id have learned to always heed the words of Brewmaker

Cache container was found on ground after a short search up higher. Signed log and rehid.

That one had me head scratching for a good 45 minutes I swear! I stand at 1m80cm so I believe most hiding spots were within reach for me; eventually I approached it from the right angle at the right level and the cache was in hand! Very clever! TFTC!

This one could classify as multi because you have to meet Mr Brewmaker first. TFTC

found it! thanks!

I was out for a bike ride with Brewmaker today. Out itinerary took us from the Captain Cook Bridge to Kurnell. The emphasis was on riding rather than caching but I did manage to pick up a few finds along the way. Brew retrieved this one and I signed the log. Thanks for the geo-fun MavEtJu.

Many spiderwebs and a glance at previous hints later and the cache was in hand. Tftc cool spot!

Found this one with no problems. Was not able to see it but could feel and reach it. The GPS had me 10m away from GZ but I was right under it! Now off to run my errands and grab some lunch TFTC
Everything in good condition with this cache.

We were the same as another cacher in that our GPS showed the cache on the other side of the creek. We were unsure whether it was on the bridge above (which we couldn't get access I not as it was closed off) or down below. After spending five minutes looking we moved on.

7/20

"Even Brewmaker can reach this one."

Well Jackscruff can't!

Perhaps the CO would like to come here with me one day and help vertically challenged me.

Nice morning walk and quick cache find. TFTC MavEtju

Headed south to the Shire for a couple of Friday afternoon post-work caches. Parked at Solander and walked around the apartment blocks. This is the first time we’ve been here since they’ve been populated and the cycle path upgraded. Nice. At GZ we puzzled a bit because the map shows the container on the far side of the water. But we soon righted ourselves and used the built-in feature to help in reaching for the container. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

Took a bit of thinking to get to the right spot but once there it was a quick find! Such a fun spot, TFTC!

Great hide

Foreignnebula and I found this one, although we had to work out the correct level to attempt the find. Arm powers activated. Thanks for this cache!

#8831 (4 of 6 today - including 1 Adventure Lab)

I am terribly behind in my logging. It's getting close to two months since I regularly reported on the caches I've found. YIKES!

In this time only the Adventure Labs found and my First2Finds have been written up - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.
But I've been busy finally getting ready to move into our new house - now in and I'm still coming to terms with the extra room/rooms!

But I did still try to find time to cache on the days that my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day demanded I find something. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, but somehow I expect that will eventually prove too hard as I have to travel a good distance if I want more than a cache a day.

Anyway. thanks to all the CO's who are getting short shrift from my generic logs. I hope to eventually get back to them and flesh them out, but no promises.
I've found some fun Traditionals and solved some interesting, but not impossible puzzles. And Multis and other cache types have been grabbed where possible.

Flott dag ute på cachetur med karols og likano i jersdalsheiene. Cachene er logget J K L
Flott turområde og noe tungt terreng og Godt med varm lunsj - lapskaus på primus - underveis.
Alle cacher vi så etter ble funnet.
Takk så mye for utlegg.

Great GZ to place a cache . TFTC

What a lovely cycleway. No problems finding the cache. Found a lovely cafe nearby for a morning coffee break.

Gotcha thank you

Back for a visit in the area I grew up in. Thought I'd check out the cycleway and geocache along the way. TFTC

Nearly got tricked. Went too high at first, then tried the correct level and achieved visual contact. GR8. TFTC team MavEtJu

I started making my way to a game at Shark Park at first before realising I had to be a little lower! Once at GZ only took a minute to spot the cache- and I could even reach it from a lower level than was available! TFTC!

MavEtJu I found your cache A Bridge Too Far on 14/11/21, 12:20 pm. This is my find 3235 and find # 8 today. Had my doubts when I reached GZ. How can the “brew” reach up there? Then had a look around and used the provided TOTT and had CIH. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Took the Geo-Kombi out for a run today and headed to The Shire.

A Bebe Ammo can? How could I resist a stop here ?

A nice new track that has popped up since I was last down this way

TFTC

OCW the Bebes. Once we got the right level it was an easy find. Tftc

Found it with the assistant Samantharogers

Found with SamanthaRogers. Tricky little find

Oh em geee This one was so simple yet so bloody frustrating. Finally found it thanks to the last GEK who helped. Also found with @Nosmada who I wouldn't have been able to complete it if it weren't for his height.
TFTC

It’s there!

Searched and searched with Samantharogers but no luck any hints if so pls message me

Didn't find the cache but I did find some pretty flowers
Have messaged owner for some help because I'd love to tick this one off my list.

Sorry if it logs twice it’s because I have two devices

Yep

Really had to step up my game for this one. Awesome camouflage that eclipsed all that have come before it.

To hard we couldn’t find it

Look everywhere but couldn’t find

TFTC

I'll come back and try again.

no find today either up or down.

Found it with the help of a paf, I used a key dipped in mud to sign the log. My how things have changed around here!

In the area with Wazza9, arrive near GZ we were discussing should we cross the bridge, decided to have another look and there was the container hiding nicely, retrieved it, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to Team MavEtJu.

TFTC,
Came down here today to complete maintenance an a nearby cache and walked along this new section. Found GPS wanted us on the other side but decided to feel around a bit before going there.
Lets see if the replace the board walk through the mangroves with the next section of building. Loved the cache that was at the end and am keen to see another one out there.
Visited trackables.

Heeded the advice given in the hint about the Brewmaker and noted his log and voil`a it was CIH. TFTC

We were in the area this afternoon and decided to tackle this cache.
The first look wasn't a good one as we were relying on the GPSr (Garmin 700) to guide the way. Garmin said over there in the murk, but wasn't keen on that spot. I think the High Tension wires close by may be disrupting the GPS signal?
I messaged the CO saying we had no luck and he answered back almost immediately "read the description!"
The second look met with immediate success and we did the signing and put back. I checked the GPSr at this location and it indicated we were 15 metres from where the coords said GZ is. TFTC MavEtJu.

Too T F on a Bridge Too Far. TFTC MavEtJu

Somehow I missed the notification yesterday of this one so close to home. I was finding the new ones around the inner west with The Bebes, MaxAdventurer and EverestHigh, when they brought it to my attention as we were leaving. I better hurry home! Of course, it was peak hour traffic, my phone battery was dying, and the geodog was in need of a feed. Plus it was raining. The chances of the FTF were getting slimmer by the minute.

A quick stop at home, and into the Brewmobile with Zelda the geodog for the drive to GZ. I haven't seen this new path, but was close to this area when doing the COs new AL recently. Once there, I saw what the hint might mean. But I chose the wrong side at first, then moved to another location to step up to it and had CIH. Opened up to find a blank log and so it was [FTF] with geodog at 7:45pm.

Given my name was in the hint, I was glad to get the FTF. And yes, even Brewmaker can reach this one - but only just! Then the CO turned up just as my battery died and we had a good chat as I headed back to the car. Have a FP. TFTC
