### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

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.

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.

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.

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.
 
29-Apr-17
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.

A scary feeling when cars came over bridge and we were all under it!! Good cache to find. Geokids are on a mission today
 
27-Dec-16
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! SurprisedRazz
By the time we returned to Berri about 9pm, caches smileys equalled 6 Smile and DNFs equalled SadCoolalthough we did have a CNF ... a Could Not Finish Razz due to the river having flooded and brought down a tree across a track SurprisedSad

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!' Surprised
I told him to look like a real geocacher (which he isn't! Razz ) and look everywhere and so sure enough, the cache was where I looked Cool

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.

05-Dec-15
Driving over the bridge, Kelligula and I decided to loll for the cache. 5.30 in the afternoon in 41o heat Sad kept looking on the wrong side. Finally found TFTC Smile
 
03-Nov-15
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.

I took the stroll from the best parking spot this morning, to the bridge Smile

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 Big Grin
