No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache [red]in the next couple of months[/red], just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Searched for in the company of MtbikerOz (Dad) on our week of Touring and caching around Tazzie.
Have only been able to log these once we got back to Melbourne.

Tried this without the disabled notice as we had an old PQ.

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.

Please Archive. Owner is not maintaining and gz is suffering from searching.

Looked at every possible place, but no results, we couldn't find the cache.
The wall was already damaged around the search area.

Climbed the rocks, searched high and low then decided to read the logs for a possible hint. Doh, wish we'd done that first! Looks like it is AWOL.

It was interesting to look at the old bridge and see the different construction eras. Had a good look, resorted to hint, grumped at tall people setting tall caches. From past logs I'd say this one is gone. Cheers Quilter

Would have to concur that this one has gone. Checked all possible hidey holes with the torch, and while there has been some serious excavation by presumably other cachers, no hints that this could be anything other than missing.

We spent about 20 minutes looking around the spot our GPS indicated and which was consistent with the clue. There were quite a few possible hiding places but, unfortunately, we could not locate the cache. Givern the number of recent DNFs, it would be appreciated if the owner could check whether or not the cache is still there. Thanks

Had a good look in all the obvious spots but couldnt find it.

Had a pretty good look, but couldn't find this one, even with the help of redtag.

Spent quite a bit of time looking for this one and could find nothing.

We have combined our accounts and are re-logging under our new account name.

(Previous find as 'Rainbow Daisy' will be removed)

We parked at the other end of the river walk and took the geokids for a late afternoon stroll. There were heaps of muggles along the river fishing, but fortunately the closest to GZ headed off just as we were arriving. An easy find. Took star, left key chain mini pen. TFTC!

Good to get this one out of the way after a previous DNF. Walked straight to it and it was in the exact location that we had 'pinned' before. Thanks.

Found in an obvious location.
Must have been a massive bridge.
TFTC.

Very dark down here, but not dark enough for the cache to hide from us Cheers Gav [6054]

Whoa its chilly down here! We had just about defrosted by the time we got here after camping the night. Glad we used the clue as we would not normaly look there as both of us are at a disadvantage! TFTC

it was a great walk from the last cache to this one, with a little drive thrown in ..... definitely a great area down here, at this time of year at least... located the treasure without drama but the little bugger is a hard one to replace.... but got there... only one couple walking their dog down here, where was everyone on a fine sunny sunday arvo?

cheers 4 da cache scotty&lochie!

found not on the place of the hint.
replaced iit at the place of the hint.

tftc team Ywie from the netherlands

Found 6/4/10 at 5.30pm.

Thanks guys.

found approx 1100 hrs

nearly gave up, then found it - it always seems easy after you have found it!

Nope, no luck for us here. Looked as best we could without disturbing any blocks. Enough damage has been done. It could well be there, I just didnt find it.

Cheers

Hi Scotty & lochie, Got this cache this morning at 0926hrs on the way to golf at New Norfolk GC. This was my 420th find. Quick find, no mugglers so some success here but not on the golf course. Hate Golf; LOVE geocaching. TFTC and cheers OldSaint.

quick find on our way to queenstown

found on our holiday really enjoyed tasmania

tnln sl tftc

2nd brick missing. did swaps

WOW so close to the track but still not muggled ! nice cache My son actually found it this time Took coin (US) left carabiner

TFTC

Another cache while meant to be work.Gps played up a bit here but still wasn't hard to find.TNLN

Find # 942 @ 15:14
An easy find. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice hide without having a long walk for a change. TN & left a soldier. TFTC

I came to look for this cache back in November 2009 but it wasn't there. I had the opportunity to try again today and it was an easy find. TNLN. TFTC.

Lots of dog walkers in the area but we think that no one spotted us. Took nothing - left a US one dollar golden coin. Thanks for the hide.

I wouldn't want this lot to come tumbling down upon me so I was careful where I looked and what I moved.
A neat little hide.
Thanks Scottie&lochie

Nice quick find in a beautiful spot. TFTC

Tftc. Second trip, first after being replaced. Lot easier to find when it is there. Thanks for replacing

Found this one the way back after a work meeting. Showed this to a couple of prospective cachers. T4TCSL

Found after quite a search after almost giving up, thinking it had been muggled again. We subtracted 1 foot from the height and 1 rock from the left and found it! Thanks for bringing us to this pretty spot.

Back in place and ready to go.

Needs Replacing

Seems to be a few around the area that might be missing - Fishy, Fishy was another. Certainly not six feet above and third rock from left! Nice spot tho!

Cambria49 climbed the wall for this one, but no longer there it seems??

This is the one cache where I didn't check the logs before looking for it - and of course, couldn't find it either.

From recent logs looks like it's gone - could not find on inspection

Made two attempts, second with reinforcements. Alas to no avail, however, on the second visit found large screwdriver and other items below GZ with other evidence of more local disturbances around site.

Looks like the stone wall has been disturbed, missing some rocks and if the cache is supposed to be there, we had no luck finding it.

No luck with this one. The GPS locked us onto a spot that fit the clue beautifully but couldn't find anything resembling a cache although we did find a billfold full of cards most of which were dated 1986. We'll keep an eye on this one and come back and try it again next time we're down south if it gets a successful find.

I dropped in on my way home to look for the cache, confident I knew where it was. GPS and clue took me to a point I felt sure would hold the cache but nothing was there. Either it's gone or I let my preconceived notions over-ride a proper search.

Great spot KipDog and Son's first find in Tassie easy enough to find we left a freo dockers sticker may be a collectable one day......

An easy cache, even in the dark. Thanks for this one.

Nice easy find in a nice place

once again raining so it was in and out


thnx f

11:32 Found on our Touring Tassie and Beyond 2009 Trip!

A nice quick stop for us on our way north toward Strahan. The cache was located quickly, though we did stop to enjoy the views

Unfortunately with a tight schedule we couldn't stop here for long, but what we did see we enjoyed

A easy find. Even though some muggle kids were just above my head

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! our Hundredth Cache!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [^]
And what better place to be than next to a beautiful river on a gorgeous day. We sat down on the front steps of the gorgeous riverside garden of the nearby house and relaxed while dropping off a Geotalk geocoin and logging our find. Thanks Scotty and Lochie!

Easy find on our travels to Hobart. TFTC.

Found this one when I was Mrs Cheesy Pig. I have struck out on my own and am now logging the caches I found in my previous persona (but not the ones found only by Mr Cheesy Pig of course)! Let me know if you would like me to find it and log it again but under my new name.

An extremely easy find.

The cache was on it's ledge with no cover at all, in full view of the public. We were surprised it was still there.

After filling in th log book we replaced it and concealed the cache.

TNLN thanx Scotty & Lochie.

Well there isn't much left of the old bridge.
Just enough to hide a cache in
But it is a nice spot down by the riverside,
early morning before the muggles rise
TFTC

Great place. Thanks!

Very interesting and many thanks for this one.

A tricky one with a muggliness factor of 7 out of 10. Found easily but had to time the snatch and grab. TNLNSL. Great spot too.

This was a quick walk in...but a lovely spot..so nice we took a really great picture of the river..with the clouds reflected and the trees. Nice hide. Took TB and the coin.Left ring. TFTC.

An interesting spot for a cache. Thanks scotty&lochie.

An easy find at a nice location.
Took the plane spoon and geocoin.
Left skull and crossbones erasers and TB.
Thanks S&L

So after I log the cache and replace, I look out over the water and think to myself, 'so, where is the remains of the bridge'.
Then I turn around, then feel just a little bit stupid! Thanks for the cache.

Found on our way home from camping, know this area well as travelled it for 40 years in my working life.
Took Doll
Left Geo Coin TB
Thanks Scotty& Lochie
Cheers

Found the cache easily. Took travel bug.

TFTC.

Clue made this one an easy find .... dropped our new "Come Fly With Me" TB in here, hoping it will make it's way home by Christmas 2010, after flying all around the world.
TFTC

Found this one whilst my wife was busy checking out antique shops in New Norfolk nice spot on the river. TFTC Regards Sarian

Great spot, love these old bridges. TFTC

I love visiting these old structures, the stone has a more beautiful quality about it than steel. I also like observing the methods of construction, such skill is required. Thanks for showing me this great spot, it was quite a beautiful walk so early in the morning.

Cheers,

R - B

Found with Erin87. Nice easy find.

Found with JamesWat

An interesting and pretty spot on the way home from Ladies weekend in the Ellendale hills.

TFTC TNLN travelling light.

Really glad we came up to New Norflok this evening as there was a magnificent sunset viewed nearly all the way from Granton.
Cache in a nice spot and easy to find.
Thanks scotty&lochie

Lovely spot by the river on a warm still evening. Sunset tonight was glorious and the beer and pizza wasn't half bad either. Nice to be caching at the end of a testing day.
Thanks for the cache scotty&lochie

Lovely spot - Thanks for the cache - Wackys and Cached (SA)

Lovely old bridge. Thanks for bringing us here.

Cached & Wackys - SA

Nice easy find in a pleasant location.
Many thanks.

A very pleasant spot even if the bridge is long gone. TNLN Thanks

When we drove to the end of Bridge Street and I read out the sign saying 'Dedicated Dog Excercise Area', Lottie because VERY enthusiastic and called out 'I'm a dedicated dog!'. She and Scott headed off to excercise the dedicated dog while I logged out find and dropped in hi_pressure's CoinPal Blue geocoin. We took a couple minutes to look at the building around the corner, and the new construction being build to reflect the style of the older building. Nice.

Thank you for the cache!

Found at 15.49. TNLNSL Heavy rain. Thanks

Found by Swampy

HOWZAT Mrs TGS taking Purdey for his morning constitutional in his regular stomping ground (sans GPSr or even knowing about the new cache) noticed an anomaly in the structure and decided to have a butchers hook and what do you know...... a cache and not only a cache but a FTF cache........ yes FTF...... not that I want to go on about it but not knowing it exists and not having a GPSr.... that has to be cool

Was up the river today, and received email notification that this cache had been placed. Gotta be quick to beat the prescient locals. TNLN TFTC
