Logs
As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
No chance of being replaced by Christmas unless someone would like to do it for me ( Bronze ??? )
Just a side note. Ran out of fuel under the bridge this afternoon - Bit crook as I put $200 worth in yesterday. Gotta slow down or get a cheaper boat. Got home OK. Bluedog.
Went for an enjoyable walk at 2100hrs but didn't get a find. All I managed to find was a magnetic strip in the obvious spot. After reading the last log and seeing that it was found on the ground last time, perhaps its been muggled. Maybe next time around. Great views!

This one needs to be checked out. I should be over that way during the school holidays. Bluedog.
Found at lunch time today, nice walk and nice view that I often see for a much shorter period of time.
Cache was in the open on the ground near the pole.

Don’t know how many times we have driven across this bridge and never noticed the path before. Was quite an experience having cars rushing past only millimetres from you while doing the cache. On the weird side of things some old lady riding a tricycle rode up to the start of the bridge then tried to cross onto the footpath but found she could not access the path so she then started pushing her bike over the bridge. Don’t know how she made it across without being hit by a car. Great location for a cache and heaps of fun.

Found with JMCz (Texas), Wagga Wagga (Las Vegas) & geomoz. Great view, I always wondered what that walkway was for. TNLN, TFTC!
Found by MADSTARS - scary walk but exciting. Glad Bag is getting a little worse for wear - no longer seals properly - hence contents wet. Thanks for the adventure
After what seemed like a long walk up hill, found it but not as low as I expected it to be. TNLN.
A nice walk over the bridge and the view is well worth it. Nice easy find. However the log was a little damp and the cache in need of a new zip lock bag.

Had two goes at this. One from each side. Nice views from the peak and then back to the car for the drive home. SL TFTC
A pleasant stroll along the pathway without any fear of traffic. We somehow managed to avoid rain showers while walking but we met some workers who were replacing bearers below the decking.

Drove right under the arch, parked as close as we could get to GZ and realised that our GPs was putting the cache somewhere smack bang in the middle of an expanse of water...
with confused expressions we drove back, And spotted the access to the Arch.
Great view. a bit of history and a good walk.

P.S container contents looks a little bit wet, may be time for some maintainance.

2nd cache of the day for myself and Roanish.
Found the entrance after looking a little puzzled at the gps location for a few mins. Really nice walk and view except for the fumes of cars and something that smelt like alot of dead rats.

Thanks for the hide.

Despite the isolated location, I was only 50 metres from muggles on foot [:o] in the form of the road work people who were just packing up at the end of their working day. Fortunately I was dressed all in black and they didn't seem to notice me in the gloom of dusk, even though I took a while to re-close the cache box.
Thanks for the great view from up here!

A problem looking like photographing tourists as there were workmen on the bridge
This was our first find for the day. Have driven over this bridge many times and never even realised that you could walk over it so easily. We had to pick a day when there were men working on the path but when we got to the location we just took a few pictures to look like tourists!!! TFTC.

Yes Sunday was the day to visit that Cache, the views were great and you could even see the Pasha Bulker in the Harbour. Thanks for the Cache!
A cool Sunday but a good walk and we found it easily. No muggles but the cars are a bit brisk at times. Great view. Signed log book.
Found with Tratty, forgot to take a pen to log, but left a VWNuts Sticker instead. Great views.

Found the cache at 6.10PM. Excellent one. Love it so much. SL. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.
Second cache of the day, both without turning on the GPSr. I had mapped this some time ago so it was just a matter of looking around and there were only a few possible spots. TFTH. TMFLBP.

Quite easy.
Done without GPS as it was throwing a hissy fit at the time.
Then got a puncture on the bike on the way home.

The second cache that I searched for in the company of kristo68. Glorious views towards Newcastle - the walkway location (once we sorted out how to get there) was a bit daunting though. Easy find. TFTC !
Pretty easy find followed by a nice lunch over at Stockton. Couldn't be bothered walking out along the breakwater so this was the second and last for the day. Thanks for the hunt.
WoW but at first though too risk to walk near cars passing but found another way to walk safe and lovely view all around!! Excellent hidden place.
STF! I had also thought about putting one here before. I also appreciate how easy this is too see from the road if you know wherer to look TFTH!
