We took the liberty of replacing the cache and there is a fancy new magnetic container at GZ now

Found with Wilbert67 , We will watch this cache as its worth while to have one here, hope you can unarchive it.
As we were looking for this cache I stuck my head under the bridge and a rabbit ran straight past my face, I'm not sure who got the biggest fright me or the rabbit. I just pooped myself. LOL.. Cheers

When geo-hubby saw all the DNFs, he thought he wouldn't be beaten. But alas......no luck today!!
My parents have lived here nearly 30 years and when I mentioned suspension bridge they did not know what I was talking about! From their reaction I figured out it was a footbridge and soon found myself at GZ. Sadly I did not see all the DNF logs prior to me looking Only when I dnf did I become sus. Would have to say its probably been muggled.
On our way home from camping on the river for the weekend stopped hoping for a quick find. Was so wet under foot and muddy and maybe we just were too cold but we couldn't find it. According to GPS was at the right gz, oh well, hopefully we will be back soon and try again!
Found it pretty fast road workers nearby so Prin666cess and I had to be a bit stealthy
A day out with Cybergran V and after a little loitering, pretending to take happy snaps and selfies until the muggles had walked past, we were soon enough able to put a smiley on this one.
A nice hide well stuck. Gotta get me some of them there magnets.[^]

I Like Suspension Bridges, they are fun. I don't like bridges with trolls and other undesirable critters that you encounter when you have to go under them. So this bridge was lovely. A reasonably quick find on a day out, it made me daleriously happy.
In the area for a few days catching up with family. It is a great opportunity to grab a few caches. The geo kids enjoyed grabbing this cache & bounding along the bridge.
Thanks Blacklegend for placing & maintaining these cache for us to find.

Got to the bridge and bounced all the way across. Finally got to GZ and the cache was in hand. TFTC
Yes !! I loves suspension bridges too !! [:X]
They are great structures whether large or small
Bouncing across one always brings back memories of trekking in Nepal
At least here I don't have to share the bridge with yaks
And this bridge was a bit sturdier built, and didn't have holes in it !!
Or a raging torrent of glacial melt water crashing through the rocks a hundred feet below
The cache was an easy find ... Ta !!

Found in the past... not sure when or why I never logged it for a smiley!?!?!
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Our 3rd DNF so far this am!!! Try as we did we had no luck with finding this cache even after spending at least 15 minutes looking for it!! Sure is a busy Hyway as usual.
TFTC Blacklegend that we may find one day in the future??

Found it! Staying nearby for a week so walking to this one seemed fair. The bridge moves more than I expected. SL TFTC

On our way to Oz Mega in Queensland and stopped the night nearby. So nice to camp on the river here. Geohubby used to vacation with his family up here when he was a kid and has been keen to show me. Now I know why

8854 and 3rd of 22 found today.[font=Verdana] [Green] For some reason my GPS was taking me very round about ways today and eventually I had to ignore it. This was one that was on the way and was a quick find. Fairly warm and dry around here.[/Green]

I'm from Bendigo, and I found this cache while visiting my girlfriends family this weekend for Valentine's Day
Been a while since I've cached but found after a 10 minute search on a hot day.
Loved this cache, enjoyed walking over the bridge TFTC TNLN

After dropping our geo-punctured tyre off for repair we spent the time in and around Yarrawonga with a local cacher. What a bonus - she was au-fait with the local roads, access points to caches and local hiding styles. Testing and comparison of GPS’rs added a lively air to the morning. We are fond of suspension bridges too. Everything is all OK with this cache at the moment.
Our thanks to Blacklegend for bringing us here.

Hi all. Aware of the needs maintenance, will fix it next time i'm down that way... Cheers, BL.
Found it. Contents were dry but you can tell they have been quite wet previously. Log itself was in good condition inside it's little bag. I DO like suspension bridges - as long as they are fairly short ones like this

I wouldn't necessarily say i like suspension bridges, unless there is a geocache on them After crossing this one and doing the mandatory rocking of the bridge which I'm sure we all do from time to time we had the cache located. Before heading off we watched some pigeons flying under the bridges with beakfulls of sticks make there nest.

Found on a nice just warm day......loved jumping up & down on the bridge.......tftc
This cache was in a sad state. Water had seeped in and everything was wet. The log was able to be signed so I put the log in the empty ziplock bag. LNTN
Thank you for clever cache. An interesting location and bridge. My grandchildren enjoyed the swaying bridge and this was their first ever find. The swaps got them in and we tackled another 12 caches whilst on our week in Yarrawonga.
Log still saturated. Quite messy. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad carer Lis Brown on a journey from Shepparton Vic to Geelong Vic then Coolah and Port Stephens in NSW and back to Shepparton before going to Tasmania.
Found cache but as others have said the log is saturated and cannot be written on - needs maintenance. We enjoyed looking around the bridge and walking across it.
Too wet to add our names .... but it was our first geocache activity so we're pretty happy
Unfortunately this cache is in need of some serious maintenance it was full of water and contents are soaking
Found today, we had attempted this one last year but geo daughter HolzCotz thought she had put her hand on it but it happened to be a snake, no bite luckily, so after we recovered from shock we went and bought KFC and gave up on Yarrawonga for the day
We were brave enough to try again today in much cooler conditions and at night with torches being very cautious not to come across the slithery friend again , however the container was full of water and log was soaking so we found a dry bit of card in jacks wallet and we signed that and placed it in container, this needs serious maintenance TFTC

Found the cache but was very wet and unable to sign the log, even with a pen made to write on wet paper! We found a bit of cardboard in Jacks wallet and signed the log. Not sure how it got so wet, container still in good condition. TFTC
Wow. What magnets. Extremely difficult to dislodge the container, rubber man would also have trouble to get to it.
Found cache with a little difficulty - watch your step. Cache ism plonked magnetic as initially described.
End tried all magnetic surfaces both side of bridge and both sides of road checked along channel banks. Think it's muggled
Here from Canada, caching our way across Australia....
Had a good look for this one but unfortuately came up empty handed. Thanks anyways Blacklegend

A quick easy find at 10.50. I can't believe a shire built something of this size so quick, good work to them.

Thx for the nice hide. A little muddy after the rain but got it without ending up in the river
#433 After walking 13.7kms with the geohounds to complete PPPP series it was time to do some drive bys on a loop trip to Yarrawonga then home. Used the torch on our Iphones as complete darkness had fallen, which added to the difficulty of this one. Just as we were going walk around to check another spot at GZ, one member of the team spotted and grabbed the cache. The other member accidently grabbed a thistle.... youch! Nice bridge btw from what we could see of it. SL TFTC.
Took a little for us to find, but got there in the end. Team KK's 30th for this weekend! Tftc
Excelent hide, thanks for the cache.

As I've moved interstate, and the people who have volunteered wont be in attendance at the cache for a while, in relation to the log book, just sign wherever you can fit your name. It's not a problem. Cheers.
