Logs
In Albury for the weekend caching with DARKSIDEDAN and C10A. All logs signed DQ10.Thanks for the cache, Marcus Vitruvius!
A beautiful old relic that I had no idea was here even though I lived a few hundred metres away for year! Thanks Marcus Vitruvius for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment.
A quick stop on the way to the IGCD Meetup. TFTC and showing me this bridge I've driven over so many times.
Nice one all good to go....forgot a pen though will sign tomorrow and date accordingly TFTC
Hi Marcus Vitruvius,>Knocked it off by mistake while looking. TFTCThe cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, or it may not but in the absence of the cache owner performing maintenance and/or disabling the cache to check it out, I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 4 weeks) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 4 weeks to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.Ngaambul - Matt
Not today. Can't see where it would be according to the hint and description. Needs checking please.

Thanks for the cache. An enjoyable day out, and caching! Took a while to find.
Found while out with Shaneo58 on the way down to Albury, Tricky find, it had us going for a little while.
Signed log and Cache replaced as found.
**Thanks For The Cache** Marcus Vitruvius.
This makes the 3rd cache of 5 for today making a grand total of 3821 at 10:37AM on this Friday the 11th of November in the Year 2022

A new temporary cache and log has been added to GZ. Hint has been updated.
###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address any issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done, and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.
Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary, or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this, that is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.
Alternatively:
* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.
In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by Marcus Vitruvius and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there, and in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

Very overgrown and wet- lots of time crawling though the grass and side of hill with no luck
After viewing a photo of the cache posted by a previous finder and a looooong search we are convinced this one is gone
This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 10998.
I DNF’d this cache on the 25th Feb 2012, nice to be able to turn this one into a smiley! A relatively easy find today.
Thanks Marcus Vitruvius for the cache.

On our way home following the Wang Mega and returning to Albury to pick up a few that we missed and try and convert some DNF's.

Quick and easy find, log has been wet but is dry now but the paper is falling appart signed the front to avoid breaking it more. Tftc!
Heading down to Geelong to see our daughter now that COVID restrictions have eased, we stayed in Albury overnight to break up the trip. Got up early before breakfast for a walk and decided to head here as it wasn’t far f try on where we were staying. I had spied this cache done time ago when we were going to stay here and was interested in it’s history after reading the description. Headed to the GZ and paused for a cyclist to pass before beginning my search. Spent some time looking until eventually coming across the hide. Unfortunately the log was damp and my pen would no write on the log. But you can see a bit of an impression where I attempted before aborting fearing irreparable damage. One reason for spending a little time on finding this hide was that the description tells of a very different type of container.

Found it! It took a frustratingly long time for us to find, when we were about to give up, boom there it was!
It may have been found by a muggle as there was a cigarette butt inside log was also too damaged to write on!

Love this one. Found with GeoSnag1 after a nice lunch and visity Albury.
Deserves a fav point.
Note the log is a bit tatty and could do with replacing.

Our first for today out with Georgenmoo. Found by Georgenmoo, no pen so need to BYO.
Finalf29 and I dropped eldest son off and now caching our way home... may take a few days
The former engineer in me just loves the form, function and aesthetics of older building projects. The “under” in the hint tricked me for a moment. Thanks for bringing me here

The log was very wet and crumbly, but the minicacher insisted on writing on it! TFTF.
This one had us looking high and low. Even the hint had us stumped.
Not quite the Sistema container we were looking for, but cleverly hidden nonetheless.
Log is all but ruined from water damage sadly.
Thank you for this nice discovery in a place we otherwise wouldn’t have known existed x

Started off looking for a container but couldn’t see it, then found the actual cache - the log wasn’t in the plastic bag but we put it back in there. TFTC
After not caching for a long time due to covid-19 and work commitments I decided to go out and about on a beautiful day off to find some hidden gems. TFTC. On a side note CO may need to check this cache as the paper is getting worse for wear.
Interesting, never noticed it from above. Log is basically wrecked but I managed a small mark and date.
The cache name had me going off path further than I needed to but a read of the hint had me backtracking and the cache was soon in hand. Nice hide TFTC
Dalerious and the ILT team decided to go to NSW today and see how the other side live. It was very strange seeing people with faces!
We were on our way to the GZ for a nearby cache and thought 'maybe we should check and see if there are any near this bridge. 'Theres one right here said Mr ILT.' 'How close?' Said Dalerious. 'Right here!' said Mrs ILT with cache in hand.
That had to be the fastest find ever. And we wernt even looking for it.

Found with ILookedThere on our great escape from the other side of the river.
Honestly, we were crossing this way in search of another geocaching treasure when Mr ILT mentioned something about a trad placed somewhere around here. I looked down at my phone and back up to see Mrs ILT with cache in hand without even having the the seen any cache details.
Both our team names are now kind of smeared on the soggy log.
Im only just now reading up on this structure and...Wow!!
TFTC Marcus Vitruvius, and thanks for the informative write up on this rather amazing piece of understated architectural history.

Tftc, went for an arvo stroll around here and the gardens. Found the bridge, walked across the other bridge and found the cache.
