One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Visiting a favourite spot from our childhood but didn't find cache. Sad
 
26-Dec-13
didn't find despite some good hints
 
02-Dec-13
I'm pretty sure this is gone. I doubt it will get fixed as the CO hasn't logged on since Jan 2013.
 
02-Dec-13
I'll check this cache out in then ext few days. I get some messages of "did not find" and others the next day of "found".
Bridge has recent major maintenance and this made the cache more exposed. I'll do a better hide.
Sometimes a "friendly" local takes it for maintenance.

Plants at gz, show in photo have been trimmed right down. If cache was there, then it is gone.
 
09-Nov-13

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!
 
28-Oct-13
Quickly found with a friend in tow
 
22-Oct-13
For me, this is what geocaching is all about. A location that is generally disregarded but upon visitation reveals itself to be well worth visiting.
There were some local muggles just drying off after a swim when I tottered up, so I took the walk accross the bridge and back whilst waiting for them to move on.
Easy find, and I left a trackable from Europe and collected another one to move on.
Thanks for bringing me here.

Found a long time ago but visited to drop off a new TB ... Peace!

20-Jul-13
Now that was a fun one to get to
 
19-Jul-13
Co-ords spot on for an easy find. Took a wander across the bridge which is an unnerving feeling, more so when a second person is on at the same time. Waited till ozvixen made it to the other side before I returned, which also gave me the chance to take some arty photos.

Found on Day 4 of Central Coast road trip with mizmaz. TFTC!

too much maintenance, security fencing, etc, etc.
 
28-May-13
Just tried to do this one on way home, but there is maintenance happening on the bridge, with a construction fence around it. Cannot get within 5 metres of the bridge, and you may need to check it is still there as the reconstruction looks pretty extensive
 
04-May-13
we looked and look to no avail Sad

Nice bridge, no trackable.

The GPS seemed a little off here so looked around for likely hide and soon had it.
I remember a bridge like this in Cessnock when I was a kid in the 50s - I wonder if it's still there.
 
10-Mar-12
Love the swinging bridge. Went to college here and never knew that a cache was nearby.

After a post about this being cache being muddy and then it missing totally, today I went and checked it. It was there, right where it was supposed to be. Clean and fully stocked. Maybe some kind geocacher fixed it for me. Thanks.
 
31-Dec-11
See my found log - this one needs a visit from the owner to clean out all of the muddy contents and a thorough drying.
 
28-Dec-11
Found with blossom* and totally forgot to log! Thank goodness my gps remembered the date and time I logged!
 
28-Dec-11
We went for a short walk this evening and found this wonderful spot and the cache. It was all muddy so I cleaned it totally and took the contents home to wash and dry. They all came up very well and we returned everything the next afternoon so it looks perfect once again Smile

We went for a walk over the bridge and back today and then again next evening as it was so great! Thanks so much for showing us this area, I love places like this and caching for showing them to me.
 
28-Dec-11
An interesting bridge. I noted that it was owned by the Sanitarium company across the river. It certainly has a lot of rules poseted too. But we found the cache without having to worry about those, thanks to the very helpful hint. Thanks
 
28-Dec-11
A very interesting bridge, would have been fun to walk over, but my mind wasn't up to interpreting the rules to see if it was okay at the time we were there Smile.

A quick find, but this one needs some maintenance. The container has leaked and everything inside is wet & muddy.
