We had a good look for this both on the bridge and under the bridge but could find nothing.
With several recent DNFs, may need a CO check during the next time they call past?
Had a good look around this bridge between four of us, but no luck. Not sure if it’s just a case of DNFs breed DNFs, or simply just missing. Shame.
Arrived at this one when we first came in to Burra but it was raining at the time so we decided to come back later. Did a few more caches and the weather looked worse so we decided to give up caching and head to the caravan park to book in. Then of course the weather cleared so we decided to unload the bikes and head off to grab a couple of nearby caches.
Spent so long here searching every nook and cranny both on top and down below. Read the logs, conflicting hints there. Searched some more but in the end had to admit defeat.
Thanks, a nice old bridge to visit though.

Searched and searched and even Rex searched but we couldn’t find this one. Had to give up in the end and headed into town for a delicious lunch at the St Just cafe TFTH we will watch and return at some stage

Found while staying at the showgrounds, heading for Jamestown. Container and log are both in good condition. As soon as I touched it, the case went for a dive to the river bed, so be careful when looking. TFTC.
After spending a day in Broken Hill, our journey from the NSW Central Coast to Adelaide via Brisbane continued on today. To break up the trip, we are stopping to pick up a cache (or two) in every local government area we come to (I'm currently doing a challenge cache in Canberra that requires me to find a cache in 95 counties) and this was my pre-selected Goyder find. It was a pretty straightforward find, but unfortunately, the cold wind today made it hard to really appreciate or enjoy the location. Thanks for the hide all the same Dazzatron.
Apart from needing a new log book this was a great quick grab. Good day after an event. TYFTC SLTNLN
Thank you for showing us this interesting old bridge. However, the cache is a micro, not the listed small. TFTC Dazzatron.
We had been up as far as Hawker and making our way home we stayed over at Burra.
Caravan Park was full so we went to the showgrounds where we were made welcome.( Nice cheaper option).
This is one of the caches we found and signed around the town.
I had looked in the obvious place with no avail and Di said come out into the sun so I can take a picture and there it was!
Thanks.

Out today with Sebastbat, making a dent in the cache map to our north.
Nice old bridge and the bat spotted a cache quite quickly.

What a wonderful spot and bridge. Took us a while but got it in the end. Great little cache container. Tftc.
We pulled into Burra for a short break (aka: "bladder break") and figured we would see if there were any nearby caches that piqued our interest. This one was quite close and looked interesting so once the "other activities" were attended to, we set about searching for this one and it wasn't long before the cache was found. I was kind of interested about the origins of the Redruth name and found that it came from the early miners/settlers who emigrated from Redruth in Cornwell UK. Apparently Burra comprised of previously separate communities with Redruth being one and Aberdeen being another. No prizes for guessing where the Aberdeen mob came from!
Anyway, history lesson over!

On a road trip to the Port Lincoln area with Biggles of Oz and Mrs Biggles and picking up the odd cache along the way. After spending the night on the banks of the Murray River we continued on our journey. This was the tenth cache for the trip. We stopped in Burra for a loo stop and wouldn't you believe it there was a cache only 50 metres away which we just had to do. Mr Pooky started looking low while everyone else started higher and it wasn't long before Mrs Biggles made the find right near where she was standing. TFTC. TNLN.
Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Was out grabbing a cache or two before meeting a colleague for dinner. Saw this was close by. Managed to get a park within reasonable walking distance. Arrived at GZ and put fingers on the cache in the first place I felt. Love that... Extracted the log, signed and replaced.

Another good history lesson TFTC.
We went to Tourist Information Centre and bought our key to complete the Tourist walk around this wonderful little town.
The money we paid for the key to unlock the gates and travel into and around the sites was well worth it.
thanks for adding this location into the tour.

Found quickly by geokid with knack for magnetic caches, logbook full but pic for proof. Thanks heaps!
Not quite in the logical place, but not too far away, thanks for placing it here SL: TFTC
A nice quick find on this beautiful bridge. I initially stood on the concrete ledge, unknowing of the millions of ants under my feet. I moved back when I felt twenty ants crawling up my legs. After brushing them off, we took a new perspective and saw the cache. It was written in and returned. Thanks for a great cache in a brilliant location.

In Burra today with SnappyTomCats...never been here before so it was nice to explore the area and learn a bit of the history...TFTC Dazzatron
Out today with Hevwalker, we decided to head towards Burra. After lunch in town we started cachesploring...Exploring this beautiful town and caching at the same time. This was a quick find, but no TB. TFTC
Passing through Burra on our way home from the outback, we stopped near here for BubsMagee to feed. While she did that MisterMagee went out to find the nearby caches.
This was a quick find once looking on the correct side. Really cool old bridge that I would not have seen if not for this cache so that's why it gets a favourite point. TFTC.

Found on a quick stop as I was driving through town making my way back towards home.
Certainly made things to last back in those days. Actually surprised it doesn't have a coat of paint to preserve it a bit longer.
Cache was no trouble at all. Signed and placed back before the short walk back to van and continuing my journey.
TFTC Cheers.

Found by Mary & David at 1355. A bit of a waste of a bottle of wine, Mary says!! Beautiful stone work and history. Our thanks to Dazzatron.
A quick and easy find as we did a few caches in town before we had to keep on going.
ACTchil and I had attended the Red Centre Experience Event in Alice Springs this Easter Weekend and travelling back to Canberra. We stayed at the little Caravan park in Burra which was a really nice spot, great showers. We got up early and packed up the camper trailer and off to grab the caches and have a town full of smilies then to Redcliffs for the night. A quick find for me. tftc Dazzatron
found with Darzee Di after attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs. this is such a beautiful place, Ill be back again. heading home after a great time tftc Dazzatron
Owl, Eagle and Raven were out and about exploring Burra. This was a quick find while checking out some history.
On our way to the Red Centre Experience and decoded to grab this quick cache. I seem to be following my mate Aries 44 as soon as i see his valling card peg.
Nice old bridge and TFTC

I have past this bridge many times over the years but never crossed it. Thats Dazzatron for the cache.
On the road to the Alice Springs Mega with LuckyL10n. We headed through Hay, Mildura, Loxton, Burra before arriving in Port Augusta for the trek up the highway. Collected a good number of caches and all were found with no issues and the logs were soon signed.
Thanks for the cache and fun in getting to it and finding it.

#6384 - 12:30; Day 5 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune. After a night in Burra, today we decided to head down to Clare for some sightseeing and caching then caching our way back to Burra. Our mini mission to Clare completed, we were now back in Burra rounding up the local caches. Found the way in to this cache and after a short stroll had the cache in hand. TFTC Dazzatron
Having lunch in Burra on the way to Alice Spring for the Red Centre event.
An interesting bit of history here. Obviously used to be the main route into town. Good coords lead to a quick find. TFTC Dazzatron.

Quick find by geohaze. Very cool bridge. Glad we decided to stop for this one! Tftc
Big day for me today and found it & all good, now on the way back to Burra motel. thanks for leading us here.
Quick easy find with sevabo and Dolphia on the way back to our motel for the night after the series of TdF and other caches in and around Morgan. TFTC
On our way to Alice Springs for the Event over Easter, and I had set myself the challenge of finding over 300 caches to reach my 3000 milestone when I register there. We had a huge couple of days completing the TdeF trail which meant that I only had about another 115 to find. I wasn't intending to do much caching today but it was just too easy to get caught up again. This was #11 of 12 caches found successfully.
To all COs, thank you for placing and maintaining these caches and my apologies for my generic log.
All caches were either signed or stamped.

Nice easy find at a great little historic spot while passing through Burra. TFTC :O)
We're on our way to the Mega at Alice Springs and traveling all the back roads finding some great camps along the way.
We'll be attempting some of the trails around the area and seeing some great sights too.
I found the old container under the bridge and replaced it with a new log sheet.

With a couple of days off and beautiful weather, decided it was a perfect time to revisit the Southern Flinders Ranges [^]
This was one of the fun stops along the way

This geo family camping trip is over unfortunately and we were now on the road for a few days to get back home. It was interesting to see this place with some much water around. It was a quick detour for us and the cache was found without getting wet shoes. Replaced as found.
**Thanks for placing this trad Dazzatron** [^]
**Cache container ok, log needs replacing**
**Took nothing, Left nothing**

Up in Burra checking out the history and knocking off the local caches. Hint needs to be changed or removed as you will end up looking in the wrong spot. TNLNSL. TFTC.
