Experienced cachers can stop reading now.
Bridges are a favourite hiding spot for caches. Part of the allure is that a cache can be placed either on or under the bridge deck - meaning double the possible hiding spots. While a "Troll" hide is found under the bridge, the railings on bridges are often used to hide a mint tin or key holder.
In particular, one type of bridge railing comes with ready made cavities underneath that comfortably holds a micro sized container.
This bridge was built with just that type of rail. Hollow and with an opening near each join.
Hints for this type of hide tend to simply reference the railing itself, or give specifics on the hide.
The area in which the cache is placed is a bus stop, so muggles can be a problem at any time. On the bright side you can catch a bus here (Route 521 Parramatta to Eastwood).
The cache is next to (well, pretty much above) The Ponds Walk. To the south of GZ is a set of steps leading down to the creek and the walk. Remember there is no need to go there for the find.
The provided hint, if you are still having trouble (or are desperate for the First2Find) tells you exactly where the cache has been placed. So now you know what you're looking for, and where it is, go get it!
The cache container is a magnetic key holder - flat and black. The top slides open to reveal a cavity that can hold a key - or a cache log.
As it's a micro you will need to bring your own pen / pencil - if you don't sign the log you can't claim the find (no "I forgot" or "my geodog ate it" excuses accepted). And remember to replace it the same way you found it, so the cache is still there for the next cacher.
