Bridge Over Trouble traffic Maitland, New South Wales, Australia

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll 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 [:(!]
By New Overpass construction

Cache is now gone due to massive construction and removal

Road works

There is work on the bridge, looks like most of it is being replaced

Someone's taken it. Came with friend who previously found it... She said it's definitely gone.

It's gone

Didn't find

Found easily thanks for the Cache Omega62.

Lots of traffic below but no muggles on the bridge, so we could take our time casually looking. a very sneaky hide. TFTC

The small ride up the bridge nearly killed me. Tricky hide, the boy took an eraser and left a dinosaur. Lionheart

Tricky find for a beginner.

A great final find on a really fun day out caching with Gilmaster and our families,enjoyed this one it was very clever.TNLN SL Thanks for the cache Omega62

It was a great hiding spot easy to get to but difficult to find..,

TFTC! Sneaky hiding place, never would have thought of that

A quick find with sesblocker this morning thanks to a great hint. TFTC!

Found with The Neighbs on our way into Maitland this morning. Our first find for the day. TFTC!

It was tight cozy spot

Cleverly hidden, but long walk while pregnant...

I hate bridges never again , but TFTC

TFTC

Good spot

Sneaky little cache

Geokiddie Was the only one game enough to stick his finger in the hole!! Nice view

Found with Geomum Leashie. I had found this previously with my dad.

TFTC

Good find!

Good spot!

TFTC.. Didn't need the train fare so left it.

LBB

We put $5 in the LBB.

Found it but couldn't reach it. Pushed in too far!

Out if maitland park and parked about 50m from the bridge! Nice walk over the road and found cache quickly TFTC

Good hide perfect spot right near the train station. Found with Blackyz.

Cute and nice hide.

That's one more find for me!! We are the 1st ones to find this thanks so much for hiding this geocache

I placed a new cache container today
Good Luck to all

DNF!!!! If u know where it is can u please tell us where it is cus we've been looking for 3 hours straight ;(

We will be out to fix the cache soon

I think it might be inside the railing itself, but been pushed too far in to reach or feel

After trying to be stealth on the bridge with torches at night, we had to read a few logs to get the cache. Be careful as the cache has no lid. Signed the log and headed for the next cache for the night. TFTC

Sneaky grab while I was working. Nice clever relatively easy to find.

Quick find in the morning.
The container has no lid
and the log book is full.
Otherwise no problems.
Thanks for the cache!

realised the top of the corner would be the same as the bottom then it was a quick find tftc

Should have got a picture of Cookie using his scope to retrieve the container that he had pushed too far in by mistake. Could do with another container and logbook, otherwise okay

0130 GAFF2, With assistance again of the 'autoscope' as my 'fat fingers' pushed it a touch back, and even the scope wasn't angled properly at the tip initially and pushed it even further back, as the magnetic retriever was on, but the wrong way around! No muggles around after midnight. Good coordinates, but unable to fit a correct site marker. Did swap a ziploc bag, as the one there was pretty badly torn. I think MVMB added a pencil. Then it was on to find a couple of 'building trig points' in Maitland.
Another for the Night Caching elective book mark.
Brought through for mileage: 3 Bros, Aussie Nomad coin, Aust Light Houses, BEAGLE BIXBY, B 2 B ingot, BROWN BEAR 15 TB, Fishing Bell TB, Homer J TB, Iconic Bridges, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, PAP, RAINBOW BEARS 8 TB, Trakabulldog geocoins and trackable shirt.

TFTC! What a chaotic traffic spot! Found it this time ok

Took us ages to find !!!! Ps wear jean for this cache!!! Our knees are very sore!!! Hahahah

Found it!! Took a while but got there. The ground is really rough though. Knee pads required

Thanks to Grahame Cookie. This is ready to go .

Good luck to all

CO archived by mistake

Didn't realise it had been Archived (?disabled?), so when I went to have a look and couldn't find it, even with the hint (from an old GSAK Query) I went back to the car and grabbed the 'Auto-scope'. Afraid I could even see it with that, even tho I poked it in about 25 cm in the holes I thought it could be in.
If you want to retrieve it give me 'a bell', as there are some retrieval hooks that may work with the scope, just need to know which angle is the best one!
Will be back in the area again, if not this coming Monday, then on Friday.
0416 067 863, or 6553 1436

Will be back soon

Just like previous posts - looked and looked but couldn't find . Nice spot though

I used the camera in my phone to find the cache but could retrieve it as its been pushed in to far for fingers to pull it out.

Looked everywhere and squeezed my hand every hole I could find, but no luck.

Looked in all the usual hidey holes, even used the clue without luck. It may have been poked in a little too far for my digit to reach.

Found on way back home.

Didn't have a pen that worked though.

Didn't have much time. Ta anyway.

Another good find while in the area.

Geowife found it straight away but we had no pen to sign the log. Will revisit to complete the log. # 10. TFTC.

Clever yet easy

Number four from an eventual five. This little bugger proved tougher to extract that i at first thought. Twisting and contorting my wrist whilst on my knees must have been quite a curious sight to the many motorists below. Tried to replace a little more sensitively. Cheers Omega.

i did this on the way yo the singleton army museum

i found this cache during the scouts Geocaching comp

This one buged me so much I snuck out to night for a quick find, it was in the only place I had not looked of course. No muggle trouble this time

Mrs Stringybeen found this after I had missed it.
I replaced it just a 'touch' more easy to reach, in its previous place.

I felt this should have been easy compared with the other finds to day but no..... why do muggles always appear enmass when one is struggling with a find. After playing it cool watching the dollars rolling to the port and a reasonably thorough search I was unable to locate the prize.

Hard to "act casually" when looking for this one TFTC!

Needed someone with small fingers to grab it. .

wepe found it after about 60 mins.
very very hard glad we found it.

scooby signing out.

Well, well, well; in company with gerrynewgirl I trudged up one side of the bridge and definately, it is a bridge over troubled traffic. I'm so glad that I'm a Queenslander and I don't live here. Of course the GPS was never going to work under that mesh roof, so gng and I relied on the hint, which we thought was pretty damn good. However, when it came to the crunch, we poked and prodded as much as we dared, but still came up empty handed. Perhaps it's still there and we were just reluctant to put our fingers into little places, but we came up empty handed on this occasion. Thanks for the thought though! [:o)]

I tried all the hiding places and couldn't find the magnetic box. Many muggles driving underneath though. Thanks anyway.

Nice easy find. Thanks.

Found with Nudge74 and my little sister

Didn't sign log as we had no pen that was working.

my 2nd find.

Waiting for a train in Maitland just had time for a quick one
A good hide with plenty of likely spots around
Thanks for another O62

Trying to get a grip had this sudden feeling I was pushing it further in rather than getting it out but eventually .. CIH. TFTC Omega62

Headed into Maitland to do a few things and could not resist getting some caches as well. This was one we were able to find.
Thanks to Omega62.

Good hiding spot good view of the trains

Found with a little help from the geo
Kid. He is a lot closer to the ground

In Maitland for a birthday party so thought we could find some caches too.
We have visited some wonderfull parks, cemetries, old buildings & seen some great caches as well.
This is a a very busy round about, always hazardous to negotiate.
TFTC Omega62

Finding the box was easy. Getting it out of its location with my clumsy fingers was a lot trickier, as the forces of magnetism and the shape of the box were not really helpful in prying it loose, somehow...
Finally got hold of it and freed it from its miserable locked-in position.
signed log, no trade.

Nice Cache, TFTC

playing with kids in the park and then time for treasure hunting

Quick find while heading to Newcastle airport
