radnoski: After a few DNF's on this cache I decided it was time to pay it a visit.

There always seems to be a muggle fisherman right near the GZ..... and it was no different this time.... so I waited for a bit and he moved along.

A lot of the rocks around the hiding spot had been moved (not little rocks.... big rocks that I would be flat out moving on my own) leaving the hiding spot exposed and totally changing the area.

It was a bit of a unique hide and I can't really replace it given the changes to the area.

Thanks for all those who spent the time looking for this cache. I hope you enjoyed the area even if your search did not result in find.

Cheers!!

Geocache Description:

A small container hidden near part of the old wooden bridge. The co-ordinates were taken from road level but to find the cache you will have venture down below. (The difficulty of 3 is due to the tricky hide....you will need a keen eye)

There are signs of an old wooden bridge.... but was it actually a bridge?

The first bridge was constructed in 1960.

Was it later replaced by the bridge we have now?

The gallery contains some photos I tracked down, put on your detective hat and check it out?

From the Gold Coast City Council Website....

Biggera Waters is situated on the edge of The Broadwater and is located just north of the suburb of Labrador. Biggera Creek flows through the middle of the suburb and a point of land at the mouth of the creek is known as Lands End.

The land north of Labrador was subdivided in the 19th century and a number of farming and fishing families made their home there, among them John Siganto who built a residence called Finis at Lands End. In 1939, R.G. Oates, an early real estate salesman on the Gold Coast, invested in land backing on to Biggera Creek.

It was not until 1960 that a bridge was constructed at Lands End, Labrador. The Biggera Creek bridge opened up the development potential of the northern estate which R.G Oates had named Anglers Paradise.
