I went on my first search today
I went on my first search today, and was directed to the Northern bank of the Murray River at Tocumwal NSW.
I followed the directions to the letter, 3rd tree from old bridge toward the new bridge. Unfortunately the "cache"was hidden under a rock that was one of hundreds dropped in place to prevent erosion.
I was directed 3 m down this 40 deg bank of rocks, I gingerly got my self down to approximately where the cache was supposed to be, when a rock I was standing on rolled causing me to lose my footing. I spun around fell backwards and got a nasty knock on the head, and numerous bruises. I was unfit to continue the search and moved on. 2 hours later I discovered I had lost my wallet. Back we went again and my wife found the wallet where I fell.
My plea is to be very aware of how safe the surroundings and site that you place the cache.
I have abandoned this search and would like to warn others about this one, you could break you arms, legs, or worse. This first adventure taught me "safety" comes first.
