There's a very high likelyhood that this cache is a long way downstream after the recent floods. I am not in a position to check on it at the moment so, unfortunately, it has to be archived.
We're in the midst of some serious flooding in the Echuca area and there's a high chance this cache has gone for a swim downstream.
Once the floodwaters recede and the tracks dry out I'll check the cache and decide whether to enable it or archive it.

On a long walk starting at the new bridge and following the Murray River. It was a rainy day, and that kept many of the normal people away. A peaceful walk collecting a few caches is the best way to spend an afternoon.
Good spot left a African seed of a tree when the American soldiers wear hear in ww2 to rebuild the bridge if it got destroyed
Great walk in the rain for the three of us. Jo found her first cache She might be hooked now.
Now I know the meaning! Looked at the radar and made a dash when I realise access was at the end of the sports ground. Very much worth it as I love a mission and this old forest. Last day in Echuca and then off to Wangaratta for the MEGA. Great time with plenty of quality caches in Echuca. TFTC AND THE FUN
A neat series, got to stretch the legs with a few km's and visit some famous Australian river junctions, one of the highlights of our Echuca trip, TFTC WazzaAndWenches and the great placement !!!
6th find today. I found the previous 2 in the series late last year, and moved a trackable from one to the other. The cache was found in good condition. Took nothing, left a pencil, signed logbook. TFTH
Found with FUF009 while visiting the area for the day. Pretty hot today and I'm out of practice. Tftc
Find # 9310
Found with sharkeifan.
Well seeing as the "Ring of Steel" around Melbourne was taken down last week. We made plans to catch up and to spend a day up in Echuca grabbing some caches.
Seeing as the bridge construction was going on and that we had to walk around this area we decided to tackle it early to beat the heat. it was a great start to our day up here.
not far from the track, we had a sneaky look and made a quick grab before any walkers came past. There was quite a few riders and walkers on these tracks today.

In Echuca for the long weekend and I totally love love love it here. Love immersing in and soaking up the history. And I love looking at junctions. Cache found easily, love the huge trees, they’d have to be a couple of hundred years old... pic doesn’t do them justice. Thanks for bringing us here WazzaAndWenches
Had a good look but no obvious signs of a small cache being there also no one logged for almost 2 months.
Found during a road trip from Brisbane to Adelaide with five days travelling and four overnight stops, via Ballina, Armidale, Tamworth (staying overnight), Bylong, Sofala, Bathurst (staying overnight), Cowra, Young, Cootamundra, Junee, Wodonga (staying overnight), Echuca (staying overnight), Kerang, Ouyen, Pinnaroo and on to Adelaide. With limited time for stops along the way , we targeted one or two caches in each of the LGA's we traversed, and a few extras at the overnight stops to boost the tally. Thanks for the cache WazzaAndWenches!
We spent two days in Echuca and got in touch with the culture and heritage of Australia. There is a wide choice of attractions. We enjoyed a paddle-steamer cruise on the Murray River and did running-sightseeing and caching in the area too. Greetings from Switzerland.
Found on my 2nd day geocaching around the Echuca region. This was an easy find on a warn day, I was glad I brought some water along. Nice bush reserve close to town.
Cache replaced -again 
Please rehide carefully and don't just drop and run.

Looked for some time,even an obvious hide possibility. Found timber that could have been relevant but no luck.
Searched everywhere here over half an hour but no luck. Strange for a simple find. Will try again next time we’re here

Found this lovely cache..but sadly no trackable that we were hoping to find. Wish that the people who take trackables and don’t log them would do so. Tftc
Quick find but alas log is very wet & mouldy! Still managed to sign. Thanks for another great cache wazza & co. Found with Jimmytherat on a surprisingly mild winters day.
Cheers from the big smoke

TFTC Wazza_etc. Easy find and GPS right on this time. Jimmytherat with Noelle04.
Alas despite the plastic cliplock bag being zipped tight as, the log is sodden and very mouldy. Replacement suggested.
Busy in this area with walkers & riders about.
Quick easy drive by find. TFTC
*maintenance required on log.

Found this lovely spot together with Parkermon, on a road trip northwest. Log is soaking wet, so it was hard to sign.
TFTC!

Found with Exportswede. Accidental wrong road to see the river junction led to this little cache. Nice hide, log quite wet (chalk not helping, alas). TFTC!
A nice easy park and grab. A beautiful area to visit.

Sucessful after a recent amount of unsucessful trips. Thanks for the find, Monique and Des
Thought it was going to be hard to find, but happy to say it was in a good spot.
We came in the hopes of taking Mario to further destinations as this trackable is logged as being in this cache, but sadly Mario is no longer in here.

Found on a sunny autumn day with Kengard43. Took the scenic drive around Vic Park and came across a couple of spots not meant for my geomobile sedan but we pushed through in our quest to discover the cache! Luckily the track wasn't wetter. Stopped near GZ and found Kengard an old branch to use as a walking stick as she hadn't brought her own. We then trekked off in the direction that we thought the cache would be. Looked in the most obvious spot and we were rewarded. Signed log and replaced as found. Cache in good condition.

Family Perpetuallylost spent Easter at Echuca this year. We spent the morning at the Moama market and lunched at a wellknown Bakery before some afternoon caching. Time for some dirttracking as we made our way to this cache. A trickier hide than it first looks when you pull up but a view from the right angle and the cache was found and log signed. Enjoyed the views of the river a bit further along. Thx for bringing us to one of those places we would never have thought of looking at if it wasn't for geocaching. Find#4 for the weekend.
On holiday in Moama and had the chance to pick up some good caches today! Woohoo First to find this year Cache is in good condition and easy to find. TFTC Found at 4:30 pm
