Hi there bwpbwin,
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention. You would have received an automated email from Geocaching HQ recently which explained what needs to be done.
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) .
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

We have made an 6 week road trip trough Australia en did some caching just for fun. We could log some and some we couldn’t! But we enjoyed the views and surroundings. Al thanks for placing the caches.
No luck here today with two sets of eyes searching. And one gash on the head to thank for it, be careful for those bolts! Thx anyway
Camping along the river today we headed out to explore Wentworth using Geocaching as our tour guide. After 2 DNF's we were glad to be able to find this one across the border today.

Very tempted to place the cache where GZ indicated it should be but if you look on the same area on the other side of the bridge it sure is there tucked away in its good little hiding spot. Thanks for the informative notes.

Took A while but a pretty spot and a pretty bridge they don't make them like that anymore
Off on our holidays, traveling from Adelaide to Nullarbor, Broken Hill, Mildura and the Mallee Region.
Chasing a few Caches, Earthcache's, Virtual's & Multi's along the way, this was one of the caches we found.
Taking a few TB's along the route and placing a Path Tag or two as we discover the Yellow Smiley Faces!
The question is, did we find it worthy of a favourite point?
We thank the CO for bringing us to this place in beautiful Australia.

We started looking in the wrong side. Checked all underneath with no joy. Rang a friend and confirmed the area. Gave it another look and made the easy find. Should have kept it in mind it was a kids cache. Thanks Flossey
On a very special road trip to celebrate Gonefishen07 Birthday at the Birdsville races along with Hearse068 and THTSGLD.
Thanks bwpbwin for placing a cache here.
Thanks bwpbwin for placing a cache here.
Found with GF07 , BB&N and THTSGLD on our way home from the Birdsville races. Bucket list tick. We are doing as many caches along the way as we can Thanks for taking the time to place this cache for us bwpbwin 7:05 PM
Found while on a girls road trip that consisted of Hearse068, BorisB&Natasha and THTSGLD. We are heading home after loosing all our money at the Birdsville races . Came up this way in 2016 but sadly BorisB&Natasha and I were out voted by the rest of the crew. Not so this time so stopping at every opportunity. . Thanks for taking the time to place this cache for our Benefit. Our first one for the day. Had a long drive from Tibooburra had to do one today and this is it.
Found by geodaughter (doesn't have her own account) while on caching holiday with geograndma and geofriend
Found it with CherryRose and geo granddaughter. Took us a few minutes to locate. Strange sensation with the cars driving over us. TFTC TNLNSL Now for the other side.
Found out with Beary Organised on first day of Caching holiday in Mildura TFTC TNLNSL
This was our last cache after our three week adventure with DazzPete, travelling up to Alice and back down via the Simpson.
We all pulled the circus up here one last time and got out for a look, the looking went on for longer than expected as we overthought the whole thing but it was eventually found and we signed our lives away.
And now it's the long drive back to Albury.
Thanks bwpbwin for the cache.

This is where we bid our travelling companions adieu after three weeks together. It's been an awsome adventure with them (again) but now we go our seperate ways.
We over thought the hide but we got there in the end.

We are returning home to Tasmania after attending the Red Centre Experience Event in Alice Springs. Today we headed out from Curlwaa to find the local caches and this was one we found. We stayed in the nearby caravan park. TFTC
A scary feeling when cars came over bridge and we were all under it!! Good cache to find. Geokids are on a mission today
Mrs Moneydork, Moneydork, muggle partner and I left Berri for Mildura to shop and cache.
Seems a set of 4WD retrieval tools was needed after yesterday's effort!
By the time we returned to Berri about 9pm, caches smileys equalled 6 and DNFs equalled although we did have a CNF ... a Could Not Finish due to the river having flooded and brought down a tree across a track
Apparently I had been here before and had not been able to find the cache however it must have been a very quick look as I usually log a DNF if I've had a decent search!
Today, Moneydork kindly did a U-turn to allow me to look again as I had found the cache on the other side of the bridge recently and now had this unfound on this side.
Muggle partner took my torch and headed into troll territory while I followed and looked without the torch.
Having reached the other side, I asked if he had checked 'there' and he said 'no, you said it was the other side and that it was under!'
I told him to look like a real geocacher (which he isn't! ) and look everywhere and so sure enough, the cache was where I looked

No trolls even though I bleated like Billy Goat Gruff. Quick find with traffic not causing a problem as there wasn't much. The old bridge is great and looks really well engineered.
Thanks for the cache in an interesting spot. Just up river from here was were I fist saw Quandong trees. It's worthwhile looking for them.

We found your cache Flossy's first on our camping holiday with GeoJess [woof] from Ballarat around NSW and back in search of warmer weather and a few caches
Camped nearby on the banks of the Murray River so we went for a Pre dinner walk and cache and a few photos of the bridge
The cache is in good shape.
Thanks bwpbwin for the cache!

This one took longer than it should have and was in the last section we checked. The overhead rattle was a bit worrying, especially as we had to travel there next. Thanks.
Looked on the wrong side first but once we changed a quick find was made. TFTC
After a DNF at the other end of the bridge, it was great to find this one! Cache #2432.
Spent about 15 to 20 minutes looking for the cache, keeping my out for the troll...no cache and no troll
easy find, great bridge. Had a drive down the dirt road, some great camping spots. TFTC
On a caching trip towards South Australia with J+J.AU. We did many caches on our way and had a great time. This was one of them and hardly any did disapoint! Would do the hole trip over again tomorrow if I could.

We read the logs and decided to start on the 'other' side of the bridge only to find that we were right the first time . It was 41 degrees Celsius but it sure was cool finding a cache today! TFTC!
Driving over the bridge, Kelligula and I decided to loll for the cache. 5.30 in the afternoon in 41o heat kept looking on the wrong side. Finally found TFTC
I have been caching for eleven years and have never gained the honour of three states in one day so this trip it was on the agenda.
So with breakfast in Mildura and a few Victorian caches, then across to Wentworth for lunch and some NSW caches, and then a long drive to SA and into Renmark for afternoon tea and of course a few SA caches.
On the way back to Mildura picked up a few more along the Stuart Hwy, so a very successful day all round.
I like others searched the wrong side first, could be all the steel in the structure but then the container was spotted and log signed.
Over we go and grab a few in NSW. Thanks bwpbwin for placing this cache and the great set of cache notes.

4453 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1125. Parked on the opposite side of this structure so the Trolls could be taken by surprise, it worked. SL Tnx bwpbwin
I took the stroll from the best parking spot this morning, to the bridge
The bridge's modern appearance gives no hint at its actual age !! [:o]
I was very surprised to see it was built in 1923 !!
And in the troll's home I searched for a cache.
Trolls in this part of the world love spray paint in cans for some reason !!
Must be all the bright colours to liven up their otherwise dark existence

No school for us today so thought we would take the CatKids to find some caches so family day out Geocaching it was. TFTC
Well that was a bit unsettling with the rumbling above. Gps had us on the wrong side but soon found it.
No trolls today. Our GPS had us on the opposite side but Glanville Girls spotted the cache with her eagle eyes.
Today we had Glanville Girl ,Mrs McLooker and myself searching around and within minutes the cache was sighted. Rather pleased as I didn't like the cars that were passing overhead. TFTH
Out today with McLookers and Motndarg. This was a nice quick find with the rattling overhead. Lots of rubbish dumped around GZ. Hanks for the hide.
Hmmmmmmmm it showed me 1m as closest on the wrong side. Found with Smurfy_CH & Dustieann on our Road trip back to Melbourne from our roadtrip NT. Tftc
We looked to far but found it eventually.
Found with Smurfy _CH and Thundering_SU on our way to Mildura
TFTC Greetings from Switzerland Dustieann

Find number 51 of 78 found while on a Vietnam veterans trip up to Lightning Ridge in northern N.S,W. We travelled through Broken Hill,Bourke,Wallgett,then onto the Ridge.Our return was back down to Willcania,Medindee, Wentworth,Berri,then home to Kadina. Finding caches on the way added more interest to the trip.Thanks for the hide.
Always have the feeling of being watched. What might all the muggles think while stopping on the red light? Was brave and took it quick. TFTC
