Me and my friend tried looking for it for a good 20mins. Couldn't find it anywhere!!!!
No stopping on the bridge but a short walk back from a safer carpark. Quite an uneasy feeling with the traffic vibrations and grateful when the gps beeped, the cue was understood and the cache quickly found and signed.
Bit tricky to not look suspicious finding this one. Eldest daughter stood watch and told us when to stand back up. Quick find. TFTC
First ever cache! Awesome spot, there was nothing in the tin though...will go back and leave something there
Enjoyed this one - gets its first favourite point.
The bridge really shook when a big truck thundered over!!
No problems finding the cache. SL TFTC

The Clue was good. Had to watch for the muggles as they were on you before you knew it. [:x]
Bit tricky with the mugggles. Don't have much notice of them approaching when looking.
First find of the day. Nice little cache in interesting historic location.

A good hide in an interesting place. Heavy traffic very, very close, but quite safe. TFTC
Stopped to pick this one up on the way through. No trains went past but there was 2 muggles walking the dogs across the bridge so I had to take the cache for a walk then bring it back after they left.
Visited this one today with Liz and Bruce on a very mixed geocaching day. This was the first one for the day and a very quick find on this old bridge.
Having met up with Victorian cacher and friend Alansee we planned a big day out to do as many caches as possible. We started off ok but found some of the tricky hides too hard to find - this cache however was one we were able to find. We enjoyed the scenery and the opportunity to look around this part of the cental coast.
Thanks to jonignite.
Thanks to jonignite.
Nice quick stroll to GZ, after a couple of mins of feeling around, the cache was in hand. Thanks Jon
How many times have we all driven over that bridge and not known there has been a cache sitting there all of that time. Fun hide for the kids. No train going past at the time, but saw a really cool boat zoom under us. Thanks jonignite.
Last find for the day as it was dark by this stage after an afternoon of caching. Was easy to find at night as there wasn't much traffic going across the bridge. TFTC.
Shakey old bridge alrighty!

Not too difficult, the hardest part was figuring out how to cross the busy road. Once across we saw the pedestrian subway. Doh! Thanks Jonignite.
We drove under the bridge and ascertained the approximate location of the cache. Mrs Shifter walked out to the location and found the cache very quickly, signed log and returned the cache just as quickly
Thanks jonignite.
Thanks jonignite.
This is the second time this week we have cached up on the walkway of a bridge. This has a bit of movement when the big trucks go past! The clue was consulted to narrow the search to a smaller area than what we were searching, and soon produced the cache.
Thanks, Robmc.
Thanks, Robmc.
Found at 12.40am GAFF5 in the company of Robmc and The Cash Man. We were looking just 2-3 metres from the actual hiding spot for a while and then Rob lined himself up with the hint and it was found. We then got out of there as quick as we could before it fell down!! Gosh - it certainly sways a bit.
Thank jonignite.
Thank jonignite.
This one took us a little longer than it should have.
Hint is excellent and really should have followed it instead of wandering off.
Well camo'ed and on a dull day that's the excuse we are sticking to.
Thanks for placing this cache.

Found by my little sister high muggle area probs bet to do on a Sunday avo
Parked a bit further away than nesessary but still a good quick find. No muggles about just some work men nearby. Thanks for the cache SL Cache in good nic.
A short walk across the bridge and we found it! The hint did help narrow the search! Thanks...
Sunny day, calm water, good hide! Never walked the bridge before.. Not much room if a bike comes the other way... TFTC!
Parked near the Dora Creek station for this one.. GeoBroInLaw found this one with no worries. Very creative clue and hide. Tons of cars and a bike rider narrowly passed us by during this find but, managed to finally sign the log. Good times! TFTC!
I have been over this bridge so many times and though it would be a good spot for a cache but it is too far away from home to look after it so I was glad to see one finally made it here.

We were looking at the GPS and it was in the middle of the river!! But we found! Accompanied by the Ozlookers and friends. Oh, we took the baby and replaced it with a blue dog ;D
Nice easy find on our way back to the holiday house we are staying in. Felt the bridge move with the bigger traffic crossing. Needs a new coat of paint.

Our young son found this one at 2:00pm. A truck went past as we were on the bridge and we definitely felt the shaking!
Found easily. Boy it's been wet up there. The second of several on my way north. TFTC
Ran out the door to complete a few caches before tea. Super fast find and then, as I had a few to spare before needing to be home, watched a freight train rumble past. TFTC.
We initially missed the parking location so after reversing course we headed off to GZ thinking the area would be quiet. We were wrong there was regular foot traffic heading over the bridge. During the lull we found the cache and returned it to the hinted location which was only a short change from where it was found. TFTC jonignite. [970]
Found. i put it back where i found it but it is not exactly in the position that the clue dictates luckily my GPS was spot on today
Easy find on the way home from Warners Bay.
Just a little worried about the strength of the attaching mechanism - seemed a bit weak.

We were up this way as our son was playing rugby at the nearby oval. A short walk soon had this cache in hand TFTC
Our 4829th overall find.
A nice spot to sit and while away the hours. The traffic was pretty light today so a find wasn't too difficult.

We parked in the railway station carpark and walked back over the bridge to wards GZ. We waited while a long freight train went past and were glad that the railway bridge was seperate to the road bridge as we could image it would shake quite a lot. Thanks to accurate co-ordinates and a good hint we found the cache easily. TNLNSL TFTC
Had a muggle free search at this one. Only a train and a few cars came past. Took a bit to find in a spot that I didn't think to look at to start with.

This could have been a complete pain in the #$@! to find, but a hint and the clue made it a lot easier.

Never where I expect them to be....After lying down and feeling up everything I opened my eyes and there the little blighter was......just what I needed today, laying down on an iron pathway in 39 degree heat.....have some new tattoos burnt into my torso and arms....thanks for the hide buddy.

Found on my way back home today. Amazing the gap in the bridge where the train tracks span. Thanks.
