Time for this one to say goodbye. Between the "floods" and the local kids this has gone missing one too many times.

Lovely spot but sadly couldn't find it Sad lots of possible places it could be and a great potential GZ. Could you please come by and check that it hadn't been washed away as it may need to be replaced and what a shame to have such a great cache archived.

Today we explored Sale and surrounding areas using geocaching as our guide.

Made a quick find TFTC
 
19-Mar-14
After staying overnight at the Maffra golf club grounds with the caravan we made an enthusiastic start to get as many caches as we could in the surrounding area. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find in conjunction with caching friends LazzaL. Thanks to The Geo-Baristas.
 
19-Mar-14
In Sale with friends Liz & Bruce trying to get as many done today as possible and this was one of the excellent caches of the day. Thanks to The Geo-Baristas
 
18-Mar-14
After waiting for joggers, cyclists and walkers to go ( jezz felt like I was in the city) I finally got a chance to hunt for this one. I was hunting around for a short while and admired a very well made birds nest (clever little critters) hidden under the bridge before I spotted the prize.
Signed a empty log and replaced cache, TFTH Big Grin
PS can't recall seeing a TB in cache.
 
17-Mar-14
This cache had gone missing so we placed a new one down today. Sorry it took so long, we seem to not be receiving DNF emails. Happy hunting.

Looked and could not find

No luck today.
 
29-Aug-13
Searched for a little while, couldn't find it. Looked like there had been recent floods. Could this have effected it or am I just blind Wink
 
02-Jul-13
Thought we'd drop by and check on this one as it hasn't been found in a while. Everything is good and the cache is dry. Dropped off a TB to continue it's journey.

Happy Hunting!
 
28-Jun-13
I actually found this in April 2012 it was my first ever cache
 
01-Apr-13
Found this great little cache with the kids on our day off. We have been over this bridge a few times on our way to the sale common. Unfortunately there were no marbles left in the cache so we filled the cache up with some spare cache toys we had in the car.

Thanks for the fun adventure on a long weekend. We had fun scrambling over the bridge.

Close to muggles houses so beware
 
09-Feb-13
Easy find. TFTC. I've dropped off a TB!
 
The 48the find on our tour of the southern states. TFTC. Great bridge.
 
05-Feb-13
Seems this one needs checking out, I'll get it back up really soon.
 
05-Feb-13
All good to go now, need to fill it up with marbles though. The cache is fairly easy to find at the moment, so looks like I'll have to find a better hiding spot in the near future so it doesn't get muggled again.
 
23-Jan-13
Poked around under and over that bridge (using the hint too!) and wasn't able to find this one. Would like to try again with more time, although apparently there's nothing in the cache anyway?
 
22-Jan-13
No luck even trying the clues will try later in the year maybe.
 
04-Jan-13
Finding new and exciting corners of Sale we've never been to with each cache, love this series.

01-Jan-13
This was our first ever find!!! Yay!! but sadly there was nothing in there :0( and the notepad was damp - so we didn't write in the book - took nothing left nothing. But we had fun anyway!! TFC!! :0)
 
21-Nov-12
No trolls today, just a very old bridge. And 2 little dogs looking for company!

01-Sep-12
While Mr X was working in the area I took the advantage of checking out a few in the area and enjoy this great sunny day. Love being taken to these out of the way places that you lead us to. Had to take it easy down this road and parked a little away as not to alert the house dwellers. Nice easy find here, quickly signed off and left before I stirred up any dogs.
Thanks for bringing me here PhoebeIrene

Today was day fourteen of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. After staying in Lakes Entrance overnight we completed some more caching in the town before going to Sale where we spent most of the day. When we came through Sale a little over a week ago, it was raining and we had little time to hunt for caches but today, the weather was fine and we had about five hours to explore this lovely area. Late in the afternoon we drove to Traralgon picking up some more caches along the way. It was a very enjoyable day.

When we arrived near GZ we dedcided to sit in our car and have lunch. Being warm we put down the windows. Then we heared whimpering - looking out there were two small dogs from a nearby house looking for some attention and probably a treat although neither of them looked underfed. After lunch we went to GZ to search for the cache. This first thing that struck us was that the bridge has certainly seen better days. Closed for vehicles, half of the bridge is still open for cyclists and pedestrians although we would have concerns if a strong flow of water was happening. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find.

Easy find. Took grandson for a walk.TFTC
 
05-Apr-12
TB "Scrat" dropped by for a visit.
 
05-Apr-12
I was in sale for work today. This cache was just around the corner.

I remember when this bridge was still open to traffic, not that long ago.

Had me looking where I thought the obvious hide would be, but not the case... when I found it, it was a logical spot.

3rd for the day on a ride around Sale.
 
09-Mar-12
My first Undiscovered with P&B (watching closely Smile). I certainly hadn't been here before. The GPSr took me out a bit further onto the bridge than I need to be, and I was told not to jump the fence (I was considering it!).
Back further, and I still couldn't find my marbles without prompting.
A full deck of marbles present today - I couldn't breakup the set, so I signed the log and left.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
04-Mar-12
Either the rising water or the muggles have this one!
 
04-Mar-12
Second attempt and with some help from local geolegend managed to bag this one. I think that's enough for today but lookout next weekend!!
 
16-Feb-12
No joy here. Found plenty of webs! Two out of two DNFs for the morning - not a good start Sad
 
04-Feb-12
Found by geoteen, mum hadn't even got out of car, t2l2. Tftc. Weekend down Sale staying with ole high school buddy. Good spot.
HA HA, we were spotted by a mini-muggle about 12yrs old on a lil' 80 motorbike, who quickly rode up to the fence line waved and said hi, I said 'hi' back and walked into middle of bridge pretending to cool off and enjoy the scenery, well the lil' muggle musta wanted to impress the geo-teen, cos' he decided to ride to my parked car and start doing 360's next to it, well next thing (hahahahha) 'HEY, get back here to the house!!) roars from distance, the lil' muggle got sprung by a not too impressed muggle Dad, I couldnt help grinning.. pretty sure the lil' muggle didnt see geo-teen retrieve the cache she was so quick to get it...
Wont forget this cache in a hurry, still makes me laugh thinking bout it. THX again !

Having a few issues getting a container back here. For now we've put an Eclipse mint tin here - Happy finding!
 
12-Dec-11
Looks like this one has been muggled. Will replace very soon.
 
11-Dec-11
DNF at 10:22:16 AM. We have not been to this part of the town before and it was a real discovery!
We looked all over and couldn't find any sign of a cache and as we didn't have to climb over any fence, we concentrated on the deck of the bridge.

Thanks for showing us this spot PhoebeIrene, WyldMan92.

I was looking for a building built of marble, so the marbles went everywhere when I opned the cache. Have only just read the notes so didn't take one, but will be picking spider webs out of my dreads for quite a while to remember this cache buy.

13-Nov-11
Everything is back up and running now Smile
 
13-Nov-11
Have taken this cache for a little bit to re-fill the marbles. Will replace in the next few hours.
 
07-Nov-11
Beautiful area thanx for the site seeing
 
01-Nov-11
After a somewhat extended hiatus from the world of caching, got a chance to get out and visit some of the newer local caches with the family.

Master 6 found this one without batting an eyelid. Good to see his skills have not dimmed over time. Left GC, TFTC!

Poor old bridge. Sure has seen better days. Tftc October 31, 2011 6:23pm

Found this on my lunch break while working in Sale. Another great cache on a bridge that has seen better days and probably should be repaired. TNLN TFTC
 
12-Oct-11
Lovely house beside this hide, and plenty of hard rubbish ready for collection gave us plenty to look at.
An easy find albeit 7 metres out by our GPSr.
Decided we didn't need a marble to remember this spot
