Bridge over troubled Jordan Pontville, Tasmania, Australia
By Budgietas on 19-Sep-10. Waypoint GC2FF01

Cache removed

Log sheet is full - need new one... lovely town area... Thanks Budgietas.

Maintenance request was enerous

Nice quick find on our Richmond/Cambridge/Sorell/Tea Tree Day out. Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy "little" find

Nice hide easy find with clues TFTC TNLN good cache log dry nut running out of space

Obviously driven past this cache many, many times in the past but never really had any inclination to get it. Today was different and the little icon was staring at me slightly differently on the map, had to go find it.
Have to say that with it no longer being on the main highway I felt a little more comfortable that I wasn't going to end up smeared into the concrete of the bridge or as a hood ornament for a Mack Truck.
Grabbed Cache, walked it up the road to sign and placed back heading back to car.

After doing the new series of caches in Kempton we thought we might get this one on the way back. It was a nice quick find. TFTC.

Cache zombified. Out today picking up caches around the Pontville area. Nice quick find although I got some funny looks from the pub as I walked past and crossed the road! Nonetheless I made a good impression of a tourist admiring the view and the bridge... Log is full. Tftc.

Found this one together with Chrini1 on our trip to Tasmania. TFTC

Quick find together with NBilli78 on our Tasmanian Adventure. Thank you for the cache!

GH used to visit here when he was a young boy. tftc

Good old eclipse tin!!

Cool my first find

Quick and fun

quick find thanks

TFTC!

Nice one TFTC

Found with Eminor93 on our way down to Hobart, thanks for the cache.

Quick little grab and log. Found on a pleasant afternoon with DoorMatt, on our way to Hobart. Tftc

Gotcha !!! TFTC A favourite from me for showing us this old town.

This was a second attempt - there was far too much muggle activity at the nearby hotel to get this cache on our first visit. We agree with comments in another log about not wanting to drop it.
Love this little historic town and was delighted to see a beautiful garden with extensive rock walls, steps and paths being established on the bank as you look out across the river. TFTC

Been back to this one several times. Found it today maybe because it was daylight

Since I was working in the area I wanted to grab at least one of the caches round here so at lunch I plummed for this one as a quick cache and dash before moving on to the next work site.

It was a quick and easy find with bang on coords with the cache being in good condition.

Thanks for the cache.

Great hide TFTC

Another great hide. TFTC.

Left geokids safely in the car for this one. TFTC

Even with highway no longer going here, there was still ample traffic. A quick find by Sue. When hearing the name of this cache this morning Peter suggested it sounded like a Budgie title. TFTC Budgietas

A lunch invitation took us to Bagdad and the opportunity to do a few geocaches on the homeward journey was too good to miss.

This was our first find, my boys enjoyed it so much we had to do another one.
TFTC

good hide. another cache completed under the cover of darkness. for godsake b careful doing this one and whatever you do dont drop it!

TFTC!

Found with Justjessie on day 8 of our Tasmanian caching tour

A quick find with O319 during our Tasmanian motorhome adventure. TFTC

Love the cottage would like to see it restored with old cottage garden . tftc

No water in river. Lots of traffic made the find slow. Nice easy find thanks. This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

Snuck off and found it on a walk up the Jordan River with friends but I lacked a writing implement There is a smiley badge in the cache. Cheers & TFTC. TNLN.

#1890 16:22:00 Today we went to see Hobart and specifically the Art Museum in Mona and later on Richmond, which is quite lovely. In between we tried to log some caches. This one was a quick and nice find.
Thanks for the hide and greetings from Bavaria [green]Sospetto & Sospetta[/green]

After struggling to decide on a suitable park we found it no problem TFTC

Tftc. Enough cars going by even now. I can't imagine getting this before the bypass.

a quick find on the way past after my failed attempt 6 months ago tftc

This cache was made more difficult by a grumpy old muggle not wanting us to pull over where we wanted to, otherwise quite easy. Busy along this road, held onto geokids tops to keep them close.

Nice cache thanks

Managed not to get run over. Great hide.

Found this cache at 9:15am while in Tasmania for a vintage car rally in the North and caching as we travel around. Lots of traffic whooshing by.
Thanks Budgietas for the hide.

Forgot to log in that 4 TB's made a visit.

Wow, we are learning how to do caches in the rain in Tassie while on holidays. Nice quick find on a nice clear day and the traffic was heavy but thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC

Great spot but lots of cars today! TNLN TFTC.

Took a few minutes to agree which side of the road the Gps was taking us too, as it was moving around a bit, lots of traffic, but fellow hawk & I found it easily once the traffic slowed a bit.

On my way to catch Spirit of Tasmania. TFTC

Easy find Tftc

Quick find while working nearby today thanks!

First find on my North-bound journey this afternoon. I wasn't the only person heading North judging by the number of muggles driving by.

Fun when big trucks go past! TFTC.

Not much water but lots of traffic. tftc Budgie

Last quick find for our day of amateur radio and geocaching!!
Signed log and thanks budgietas

The river was dry so we crossed from the north side and stood right under GZ. Needed that hint! Tftc

Not a great spot for a cache, but a nice easy find.

Can't do one in Pontville without the other, although this is not the best place I've seen for a cache. Thanks for the hide

Easy

Its great sometimes when you can just walk up and find a cache quickly. This was one of those. Thanks Budgietas for the cache.

Nice quick find as we headed to Evandale to visit family.

TFTC

We were making the dash from Hobart to Launceston today thanks to OneStar ((JetStar) cancelling flights again)) so that meant only one thing. Time to pick up some caches enroute of the drive by type.

The old orignal parts of the bridge appear look great. Good to see them still being used

Found, SL and replaced

TFTC

Quick find on way to Launceston. TFTC.

Nice easy find on my way back from Hobart. TFTC

Nice one thanks Budgietas

Found it!

=) Found today with geo-son after our Richmond visit, parked at the pub for this one and had a nice stroll into GZ where we found a good little view for a logbook signing ....Thanks Budgietas =)

Easy find, had to time it right with traffic, cops drove past and had a pretty good look.

Quick find after dodging the traffic. Sad river!

A quick stop with dodging the traffic & a quick find. TFTC

Nice easy find on the way North for the weekend.
TFTC

found with debanco and (+1) tftc (been very slack on the logs and now catching up)

Quick find with debanco and wombatjo. Tftc

Sad looking river pretty town tho !! Tfth

Found with Sol de Lune as we travelled the Midland Highway on our weekend in Tassie. The cache wasn't hard to find, but for us it was harder knowing which was the little cottage with the black roof! Perhaps it was a black roof which has faded to grey! Thanks Budgietas.

We found our way to a parking spot then found our way to GZ. Cache was quickly found.

Thanks for the cache.

1/13 at 1215 hrs, for the day with GeoJulie on our way to Lonny. TFTC!

a quick pick up. tftc

Quite hard to find but ended up finding it very good

Found this cache ages ago but forgot to log it!
Many thanks.

Found it easily but felt a bit conspicuous with all the Sunday traffic flowing past! TFTC

I've passed here many a time but not had time to stop. Today I had the whole day to get to Lemonthyme Lodge and collect caches on the way, and I also had an excuse to be on the bridge, with the Jordan absolutely pumping after the easterly rains. I found it reasonably quickly in a break in the traffic, even though the GPSr read 9m.
Strangely, the log appeared to be full, with no entries since March '11, even though plenty have found it since then (I signed in a spot left empty). Perhaps someone accidentally took part of the log with them?
TFTC, budgie.

Second find on the way back from campbell Town. Didnt feel really safe accessing this one with trucks whizzing by. Nice easy find. Number 310 for jrn Geo and I.
TFTC

Parked at the pub, quick walk to GZ. This turned out to be our final find for the day: four out of 12 involved bridges - of course, there is a lot of water in this beautiful state!
TFTC

Quick find in the way to Launceston. TFTC.

First find for the day, in the company of Mynel. TFTC!

i enjoyed walking along the bridge and found it. nice view!! thanks for leading us here

I parked our van beside the local pub and let sevabo walked to the GZ and found the cache quick and then we were on our way back to Hobart. TFTC SL

Easy find on the way to Hobart TFTC

Picking up a few caches before seeing some Tassie devils. Busy road this and see way there is a new road been built. Still can't believe all the old structures we have seen on our travels.
