I'm unable to check it because I moved. It's time to head out. Thank you for finding my cache in the past. Lava
Time for a caching adventure in the beautiful spring sunshine.
Life certainly was a little slower back when this bridge was in use.

Found with Olga at 4:26 pm. We missed our turnoff on the expressway but sorted this area and went for a walk with Luna
Thanks for making this any easy one to find for our first attempt. The hint was perfect
Found with NiciDanielle. Quick park and grab post-work, pre-pizza. Nice quick grab. Now for pizza. Mmmmm. TFTC
A quick find after work to keep the streak alive. Thanks for maintaining the cache Lava.
As seems to be normal for me in 2022 my plan didn’t quite plan out the way it was supposed to. Instead of heading down to Myponga I ended up finding a few caches much closer to home.
14 caches found with no dnf, so all up ended up being a good afternoon out.
Took a walk the long way round to get to this one. Nice bridge and quick find. TFTC Lava12

So this was the original South Rd? There have been enough incarnations! Thanks for showing me this, cache is all good.
Found while on the hunt for traditionals in the Trott Park area.
Thanks Lava12 for the cache

Obly noticed this bridge today as heading to the cache but have driven pass it many times. A cool looking bridge but don't get the sense of it when standing on it. Amazing it was still being used in the 1960s.
A little water in the cache but log is dry. TFTC

A nice quick find in a cool spot. The Police helicopter flying overhead and there being an increased Police presence made me feel safe as i found the hide and SL at 12:15 on Good Friday the 10th of April 2020.
All is good and dry within the cache [^]

This evening, I thought I would drive down south, and try to clear a few more caches that were down this way whilst still trying to find a few required cache types for today's calendar day. It was a great evening, and I quite enjoyed the old historical sites of Old Reynella.
This was the first cache for me tonight, and decided to pull over earlier than planned. However it was an interesting location with the old bridge, so not a bad stop. The cache didn't take long to find, and was all in good shape, thanks Lava12.

Thank you. Master 4 is very excited that someone put little shops in this one.
Some interesting history about the bridge, made the walk across and a well hidden cache.
A quick dash down south again for the 3rd day in a row, still so many caches to find here without making much of a dent.

I've driven past here hundreds of times and had seen the bridge but didn't know it's history. Such a scenic, tranquil spot (if you block out South Rd just behind you). Hard to imagine it would have once been a busy road. Thanks for bringing me somewhere I wouldn't have otherwise. TFTC #428
Early morning walk with the geo-pup before it gets too warm We've lived in the area 30 years and have never seen this bridge or the nearby homestead, fave from us and TFTC Lava12.
A funny bridge to nowhere! Although I’m sure it once had a purpose? No one around except me and the pigeons! TFTC Lava12
A quick find close to home marks Day 80 of my Spring Streak! TFTC Lava12! A nice spot next to a busy road, a few yellow-tailed black cockatoos flew over head and superb fairywrens twittered away in bushes nearby while I made my find
TFTC Lava12. I decided to seek this one as it was on my way to some of your other hides. Had my stumped initially, then I made the find. Cache is looking good

I have replaced this cache. The coordinates have been altered slightly. Happy Hunting.
Might be worth checking this? Gaar and I looked for 15 mins or so and couldn't find it. Given the time since it was last found it could be gone
I like GCs where you need to work out where best to park so that you can walk to GZ. TFTC
Out on a MTB ride this arvo and stopped for a few caches. Interesting to see the old Bridge. Didn't know this was here so thanks for bringing me here to see it.
Unfortunately log book is in very poor condition and needs replacing. Managed to sign it though.

Found with 2011*turtle. We were able to park close and found this cache quickly. TFTC
Out and about today finding the newly placed cache and took advantage of this great weather to look for some more while in the area. Have driven past this bridge so many times and thought I must go find that cahce. Well finally today was the day. TFTC Lava12.
Easy one. But nolonger in fork as the hint says. I replaced to where i found. I left the yellow car and too the marble
Easy find. It was no longer in the fork as the hing suggests. I replaced where i found. I left the yellow car
Interesting piece of history - especially when compared to the multi-lane major roadways nearby. Not sure if traffic flowed in both directions when this bridge was in use, but it would have been tight squeeze! TFTC Lava12.
Now it's time for the very last cache in Australia. See you sometime in the future. Thanks.
Now that's a sturdy old bridge!
A nice quick find on our way into town this morning. As Tardis Trio pointed out, the hint doesn't quite fit the hide anymore, but it's an easy enough find without any help.
Thanks Lava12.

Mr Tardis studied google maps before arriving to find out the best place to park at get to this cache. It turns out it wasn't that hard after all. I found the cache in the first place I searched - which wasn't where the hint wanted me to look.
Nice to see the old bridge is still standing without any major problems.
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Lava12.

Have been driving past this one almost every day. Decided today was the day to stop. A quick scurry up the hill from the old bridge and the cache was soon in hand. Removed packet of Hungry Jacks sweet and sour sauce someone had left in there. TFTC. Another Lava12 smiley on my map. 29/08/2015 14:30 Find #633
Used to play down here in creek as a kid when there was lots of tadpoles and frogs in creek
Lived in this area for years and never been here. Thanks for the walk. This makes it our 100th woohoo
