Description
It's a peaceful and silent area around GZ but things are changing. A new bridge across the Murray river will pass within fifty meters of GZ in the next couple of years and the peace will be shattered.
Progress is needed, but at what cost?
Logs
New cache in a new location nearby.
This cache may become inaccessible in coming months due to construction of a new bridge between the west side of Echuca and the north side of Moama.

After a couple of days in St Arnaud for the Mega, we set off towards home this morning to take a roundabout route to Echuca where we decided to make camp for the night. After a DNF at the last stop, sadly, it was the same here. If we had the right place for GZ, then it looks like the cache may have met a similar fate to the one at our previous stop
On the way home from the St Arnaud Mega with LuckyL10n and stopped in Echuca for a few caches. Alas this one was not to be. Found a spot where a cache may have been, however if that was the spot the inside of the area has collapsed and the hole was a good 2 foot deep with no way of finding a cache. If that wasn't the area, maybe we just missed it. Either way, it was a DNF for us. Thanks for bringing to us to this spot though.....looks good.
We spent some time today unsuccessfully searching for this cache in a quiet spot. Maybe a case of cache blindness or the cache may be missing.
Not quite complete silence today but fairly close, with the only sounds being the birds and the crunching of dry matter under our feet as we walked the few metres to this one.
Lots of school kids walking in the area today but they were abnormally quiet for their age. Perhaps the serenity of this place has a calming effect on them!!!
Thanks, another nice hide.

A quick find in a very quiet spot fairly early on a beautiful clear morning. Our last find before leaving Echuca to head back to the boat in Melbourne. We hope to be in this area some time in the future, always enjoy the caching around here. TFTC

We had a lovely trip on The PS Canberra this Easter Saturday afternoon, but the area was way too crowded to attempt any physical caches, so I drove over the river tonight to see what I could snaffle.
A nice little walk to what is, for now, a quiet little spot.
Thanks, WazzaAndWenches.

Oooops!!! Don't know how I missed this one yesterday, so back out today for a quick find. Such a nice spot, so why not come back again!
Thanks WAW for the fun and the cache.

Well the electronic navigator made hard work of this one.
It had me stumbling around in the tangled feral creeper when I could have had a 'drive-by'
Oh well 2TF is not a bad reward for our efforts.
Locations like this are 'the icing on the cake' of Geocaching with the locals hosting us to some interesting spots.

We could have been cooped up, keeping warm but instead we thought we would head over to Echuca and celebrate celebrate the approaching Mega.
We collected quite a few caches of both flavours in this area today. Nice to collect a FTF on this one as well thanks W&W
