As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Muggled even though I looked and climbed everywhere with TxSnooper
Cant remember the date I went

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. 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 30 days) 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 page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

30 minutes with no luck

Still AWOL

Having arrived at GZ and with previous experience at a past cache nearby, I was confident I could succeed where those before me had failed.
having searched high and low and followed the clue, I think this one has been muggled, can the CO please check.

I can not see a needs maintenance log on this cache,

[quote]If you find a geocache that is in need of some help (e.g. container is cracked, logbook is full or wet), please post a "Needs Maintenance" log on the cache page so the cache owner and the community is notified. This log adds an attribute to the page (looks like a colored cross) to alert other geocachers of the needed repairs. Logging Needs Maintenance does not increase find count. Needs Maintenance logs are not forwarded to reviewers.[/quote]

[quote]Please use this log only when there are serious problems with the cache or its location. Do not use it if the cache needs repairs, or you didn't find it, or the location made you uncomfortable. Please consider first contacting the owner of the geocache with your concerns. Use the profile link next to the cache owner's name at the top of the cache page to send an email, as well as logging to the cache page about your visit. [/quote]
If you have no response from the cache owner after 30 days then I'd suggest using a Needs Archive Note. Except for in the most extreme cases, it's normally best to give the cache owner a chance to fix the issue before alerting the reviewers.

Loaded this one on to my GPS from the map view but the last two DNF logs weren't on my device when I checked after two of us searched this site for 15 minutes. Rather frustrating.

We went to the bridge today and looked everywhere but could not find it.
I have sent an E-mail to the owner to see if they can check if it is there.

We had a perfect day to be out caching.
There was NO MUGGLES around.
The grass was very long but we got through it.
Just couldn't find it...May have been muggled.

Spent a while looking for this one, even resorted to checking field notes for further clues. The place is really overgrown from all the rain we've recently had. I fear muggle tampering we searched high and low for a long while

Plan a: too overgrown
Plan b: got under the bridge bit couldn't find it

Quick drive up being close to the one at the other end tftc

Very over grown

Finally was going past this one and there was no cars parked in the area, seemes like a popular swimming place under this bridge. Today there was no one around so parked and found cache easy enough while sighning the log a couple of cars went over the bridge it is rather noisy sitting there right under the road. Thanks to vk2nen

Tftc SL cheers:)

Every time a car whent ove I jumped lol

From this angle, felt like we were on the set of the movie. TFTC vk2nen

a short walk down the track and a pretty easy find. the cars driving over ur head was pretty cool TFTC

A nice quick find, a car went over head as we were retrieving the cache, it certainly gave us a fright.
TFTC vk2nen

Found with GrimRaider who helped me to GZ. Nice cache but scary went traffic went by - yikes! Left a silver car tftc

TFTC. Great book and movie. Thought the bridge was going to do like in the movie as cars went over! ??

We did this cache enroute to our new location. We have friends living nearby to this historic bridge which we are visiting so getting this cache was easy.
Thanks to vk2nen.

Had to come up to Greta to pick up a bike so thought we would grab some caches on the way.
Last one on the way home. A quick find but log sheet was missing and previous cacher lad left a slip of paper as temporary log. Had some printed log sheets with us so we put one in. TN left koala keyring and toy giraffe. Left just as some muggles arrived to have a swim in the river. Good day for it too. Thanks VK2nen

Found this one in a good little hidey hole. While I was there, I took my daughter down to have a look at the river and found a young couple on a rendevue Took a little figurine and left a button.

Found this one together with Enhaneuzig
on our vacation in Australia.

I log it now to bring order to my hollidaycashes

TFTC and best Regards form Germany!

On our trip we found this little box.
Thank you says Enhaneunzig from Germany

We found this easily, but there was no log book in the cache. We didn't have any paper with us up rescue the log. Thanks for the cache

Found the cache, but no book inside to sign, and nothing to start a new log....

Cache has been muggled found contents and container strewn over the area Log Book Missing
returned the container and contents to it's righful Place, TFTC

Grabbed the cache while visiting the area drove down to the gate and made the short walk to the cache Thanks vk2nen for the hide and bringing me to this area

0909 GAFF1 On way to Lithgow for an Event, from Taree. And having found Qrubicle thought I'd get least a couple in Newcastle/Singleton on the way through. Think the Terrain rating is fair enough!
Had a slight drizzle happening, but clear enough here.
Was hoping to get another one while in the area, but not sure on how to use the borrowed GPSr.
Through: Coins - 3Bros, AustLighthouse, Iconic Bridges, B2B ingot, Baa, Neigh and Oink, SummerLovin521TB, and trackable shirt.
Left a ziploc bag

TFTC great spot under bridge, made a quick sign and dash.

No fraggle found

But nice hide

Nice hide, easy find for a sunny winters Saturday.

Really enjoyed the pair of caches at this bridge - it is quite spectacular. It gave me quite a fright when I was close to the underside of the bridge and a car or two zoomed overhead. It was a gorgeous winter's day and the views from the bridge were marvellous in the afternoon sun. I also enjoyed reading "The Cash Man's" extra historical info about it. It's all very interesting.
Thanks for the cache, vk2nen.

Coordinates were very accurate and a quick retrieval took place. I didn't see the TB listed in the inventory in this cache. However, I did find something I thought was inappropriate for this family activity, so removed it. Thanks vk2nen for the hide.

A simple find while in singleton early last week

Lots of people around. Looked like thet had accident. Will come back another day. Jobar29

I went past this one yesterday but there were too many people at the river to look for it so I returned today and soon spotted the cache location lucky I didn't try yesterday as motorcycle boots are not made for walking and climbing to cache would be out of the question.

TFTC

We were invited up here to the hunter valley by the local commercial balloonists.
It was their 30 anniversary of flying in the valley so 30 balloons were invited.
A fantastic weekend was had and some caching thrown in was an excellent way to fill the day.
If this is the cache I think it is, when the car went overhead we nearly wet ourselves in fright. LOL

Cheers for the Cache.

Found it. Make sure you wear long pants and enclosed shoes as the weather gets hotter. Snakes love the long grass. Don't let that put you off, just make some noise. Oh, and make sure you walk down to the river. Lovely spot

Nice spot. Thanks. It gives you a bit of a start when a truck crosses the bridge!! TFTC

Great hide, interesting location. Very scary under there thanks for the cache

Followed the trail through the long grass and it led me right to where the cache was to be found. SL under the noise of all the traffic on the bridge.
Quick find ....TFTC Left my calling card.

Surroundings very overgrown but all in all good hide TFTC
cheers team wooness

Walked down closer to the water on this side to have a look. TNLN. SL

This was fun. Geoteen took lots of photos while I looked for the cache. Great little hiding spot, although I got a shock when I heard a very loud noise all of a sudden. Great place for a cache. Thanks.

number 12 for the day

Lots of traffic on the bridge at 5pm that makes for an eerie feeling at GZ.
TN L torch/key ring

Tried this one before but even at 6pm on a Sunday there are workmen on the bridge. Used geodog distraction technique and retrieved cache. TFTC SL.

1st find of the day and of course Mr Stevens couldnt drive lol. Easy to find...TFTC...GO TEAM_STEVENS

This was our second one of the day on a nice caching excursion. No rest for the wicked - a worker was hard at it even though it was sunday. We all decided that Mr horsey would do this one solo, so as not to attract attention. Luckily there was a pencil in cache - SL. TFTC

Hot day, long grass, construction workers and black snakes. Perfect day for caching. Found quickly. Great hide. SL Thanks Left calling card

Reperio at 0630. After stopping by the nearby cache at one side of the bridge, it was time to stop by the other side. Parked a little further up the track and walked back along to find a small geotrail leading to the cache.

Gratias.

The kids got a DVD "Tomorrow, When the War Began" for Christmas.

Just finished watching it and the star of the movie is the Luskintyre Bridge.

Well worth a look to see the bridge being blown up and how they did it.

There is a special feature on the DVD of how they built a model of the bridge to blow up.

Saw a couple of cars parked and thought they might be cachers but no. Found the cache and scampered back to the car. TFTC

Cool hide, just watch for snakes as grass is long. TNLN TFC

My 4th cache for the day. Found with dibbler2.Great view of the swollen river after the recent rain. Grass is a bit long getting to this one but there is a little bit of a path from previous cachers. TFTC. TNLN. SL.

Found with mum22. Short hike through the jungle and a climb up to grab the cache.
Took little pony, left Pink ribbon badge SL. TFTC

Found late in the afternoon. Beautiful spot by the river but ruined by the garbage left behind by undesirables

3rd find for today. Definitely worth the view of the gorgeous rolling hills. TFTC!

thankyou for that the muggle that stole the logbook called me on my mobile no. at 3min past 12pm whilst at the pub and they were having a good old laugh with there drunken mates there may be a posibility of retreving some of the items fingers crossed anyway thanks again was going to have a look after getting the phonecall

Found the cache open & upside down under the bridge. The TBs and log were missing. We replaced the log in a zip seal bag & left a pencil. It more than likely has been muggled. We searched the long grass but could only locate a few small swaps. Have replaced the cache back in it's hiding spot. It's a shame that people who don't understand what we ate doing just destroy it. TFTC

Another find for the day while looking around the area.
TNLN.
Thanks.

it was nearly sundown as with debacno and geoteen we made a dash for this one. interesting spot! TN LN SL. TFTH

Here just on sunset with Wombatjo and her geoteen. Well the cars running me over were a bit scarey but managed to SL and leave Fraggle TB no sign of Waddler wombat who we had hoped to collect.

great

We were out getting some hours on the Geoboy's "L"s and we came across this Cache. It was cool to see that one of my Travel Bugs was it so I garbbed him to give him some miles. No swaps today



Took: TB(its is mine after all)

re-visit looking for a MIA TB. dropped TB grabbed coin.

Interesting bridge, well worth the diversion. not too sure how the Gefsco tyres would handle it tho!

T: TB LN

TFTC

A nice bridge and a hell of a big spider. plenty of sign here to find the cache, although the gate was locked ?
left geocoin and met up with an old dinosaur friend, took GI Joe and left a tag and a chook.

great cache. thankyou.

We drove past GZ to check out the area and noticd a tour bus of oder people parked on the other side of the river with cameras everywhere taking photos of the bridge so we took some time to tour the area and aloow them to move on before hitting GZ. Yes that is a very large spider but it stayed out of the way. We grabbed Snoopy TB left donsaur TB and swapped a pony for Kangaroo. TFTC vk2nen. [577]

Logging TB through the cache.

Dropping of TB.

Note to cachers..........walk along and then down, not along and then up, to find cache. Makes sense when you get there.
There are just too many high weeds and spiders to do the "up" route.
Anyway, after going in via the "up" route, and swearing and cussing and generally carrying on ( have I ever mentioned before that I hate spiders?? ) and battling man-eating spiders, and climbing a stone wall in very unsuitable boots, cache was found without dificulty.
Left TB wombat. TNSL. Left marbles and spinning top. Left via the "down" route. Much easier!! TFTC

That's not how you spell height! Glad I took my own way to GZ otherwise I'd have been soaked from the thick wet grass and covered in grass seeds, easy find TNLN TFTC

Another quick find at the end of a pretty drive. TFTC

Glad I followed RAGS 4x4 to this cache

Found on the way to work.Nice cache & great old bridge.Thanks vk2nen

A nice easy find to end the day.
TFTC TNLNSL

easy find.no muggles.

well hidden (tn)

Beautiful part of the valley. TFTC

Found this one whilst out for the day with the kids.

This is why I love geocaching, seeing place like this make it a great obsession.

I think it would have been nice to tell us a bit of the history of the site. It is always nice to be able to stand there and read about the history that you are experiencing.

The Luskintyre Bridge is of great historical significance. Built during 1902 – 03 the bridge was the largest road bridge of its time in the state of New South Wales.

So much historical significance that whilst we were there signs were being displayed about bridge closures so they could film a movie.

Thanks for bringing us here vk2nen

Rated: for Overall Experience

Great day, great spot to hide the cache. Had a great day with team Choclab and enjoyed every minute of it!

Cheers, team the Hooks

Found on a beautiful day, together with team The Hooks.

Took key and left lanyard.

in spite of being the first person told about the cache being hidden, it took me this long to be traveling through the area.
TNLNSL!

First I was blindfolded but eventually found it.

Nice view.

Not too sure about the parking for a bus. I think the council must have put up a big gate since the cache was placed. We found this one on a wild and wet day, it was good to get out of the elements.

Thanks vk2nen for the cache.

Quite a damp day no make that very wet...Not far from the highway and yet a real country feel. Nice hide and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up as the trucks rolled over the top
