Description
Cache is a black magnetic bison tube with log only, so please bring your own ink stick.
Cache is placed on the original rail bridge across the Emu River.
This bridge is at a quite low level considering the size of the river but obviously has withstood last years devastating floods.
Enjoy!

Staying nearby we headed out to find some local caches and this was one we found. We had to return as the tide was too hide the first time. TFTC

Caching in the area, it was good to find this one after our DNF last time we were here.
Thanks Sirius for replacing the cache, found in between showers.

Hi sirius
This was our next cache after the "Round Hill Cutting."
Arrived at GZ and there were some people in a small tinny near the bridge
A quick find was made this time, as I was unable to find the cache the first time I tried
Sainted the cache at 1200 hours
Was just about to sign the log when those in the boat came over to see what we were doing
They were Railway Workers and made their enquiry as they said "We were in the zone."
I explained Geocaching, that we were not going to cause any damage and they seemed okay with that
The cache was replaced and we left quickly, satisfied with the find and that all was good
SORRY FOR GETTING MUGGLED
TFTC and cheers

Next one in this series...and I'm glad it was Sunday. All very quiet here today so once I looked in the right spot it was a good quick find. Log was signed, cache replaced and I was off to the next one.
Thanks again ST...must be hard being almost the only Cerberus member around here....

A quick find on a beautiful public holiday afternoon. Decided to try this one on a quiet day but even so there were a couple of fuel tankers on the road, would be fairly busy on a normal weekday. TFTC
Had this cache on a to do list several months ago but as we approached workmen were right at GZ making a search impossible. On the way home from Burnie today we stopped and with the all clear mugglewise we went about looking for it. Our search was initially unsuccessful but as we were leaving the area we found the container laying on the ground. We replaced it in the nearest likely spot but its grip did seem a bit tenuous. Thanks.
A busy week had prevented us from rushing out to look for this cache when it was first published. As we were heading west today we decided to stop and look for this one
It was a beautifully clear and a little chilly morning along the river. Accurate coordinates took us away from where we thought we should be looking to an even safer hide. We liked the way the container had been adapted to fit its location - not likely to be noticed by muggles or washed away by floods. After signing the log and returning the container we enjoyed the reflections in the river both up and down stream. It was surprising how quiet it was for a Friday morning in an industrial precinct.
Thanks Sirius Tas for another well placed cache in the Rail Bridge series cache and for bringing us to one of the older railway bridges with stunning views. We were surprised to find the log book still blank so will claim our {FTF} at 9:10.
