No response from the owner within the last 28 Days and as per my original note this cache has been archived. If you wish to replace it please submit a new cache via [this link](https://www.geocaching.com/play/hide).

Will be replacing this one around Christmas.

DNF at 12:17 PM.
We are either cache blind or don't want to get our knees dirty or it's missing.

Went for a bike ride this morning and as I approached GZ I found the cache container sitting on the footpath with its contents missing.

As it's obviously been found by muggles I have decided to disable it for now and will look at returning it in a little while.

Our first local find! What an awesome hiding spot Swapped and SL!

Great cache and a quick find

Found while in the area. A nice quick find. TFTC.

A nice quick find in a interesting spot, we had to wait for a few Muggles but made the find quickly. TFTC

Nice quick and easy find.

Whoa, that was a great one!! Thank you FarmerFrentzen!

We drove towards NSW bush lands once again where we visited the Dunedoo Bush Poetry Festival. We have solved many interesting mysteries in preparation of our tour which took us to many beautiful historical places.
We stayed in Bathurst overnight where we looked for a couple of caches also.
We weren't able to find a Clean Up
Australia geocaching event in the area which I think is quite a pity as we as nature loving geocachers should be an example to all the others people.
Thank you
Team sissifalke

Nice one

Woah! Biggest cache we've found on a bridge in yonks! Well done Mudgee on the new walkways and bridge, they're a fantastic addition to the town.....and TFTAmmoCan FarmerFrentzen.

Tftc. Didn't have a pen on us so couldn't sign.

After TRLT drive to mudgee walk around park... easy found with Kamfindit.... Thank

My first find for 2016 and my first in Mudgee. TFTC

Third time lucky for this cache. First time fooled this geocaching newby. My second attempt the bridge was "muggle central". Third time today was a lovely quiet walk and a more geo-savvy attitude. The morning light revealed the cache to me even before I commenced looking. Sometimes we don't even know whats sitting right under our noses. A favourite point for this great cache in my beautiful home town.

It's always nice to find an ammo can not too far from the center of town.

I am not sure the hint really applies.
However, its nice to see someone go to the effort of a great container in this location. I feel its well hidden from accidental finds by muggles. Can was quite empty so I added two bigger swaps to it to help it on its way.

What a fun spot - great sized container for an urban cache. Well hidden too! TNLN TFTC

Suspension bridge. Gorgeous

TFTC!

TFTC quick find

No joy this time

Had a better look.
Bingo

Arrived into Mudgee late last night & have set up camp in the showgrounds.
Todays journey was up to Gulgong following the TRLT & returning via Henry Lawson Way.
After lunch we continued South on the TRLT trail. We travelled through some great farming territory.
We found many great caches.
How did you hide a ammo can on a bridge. Such a surprise to see this size here.
Favourite point given
Thanks for placing this cache FarmerFrentzen

De passage à Mudgee, nous en profitons pour déloger quelques boites,
et c'est toujours une balade plaisante.
Depuis le Park nous longeons la rivière pour atteindre "The Bridge"
Belle boite

Great spot good view

We were looking for quite awhile when we finally realised, The bridge!

A regular, great, got our feet wet crossing the grass.
There were a few thunderstorms of late. Cache dry.

Spotted from a distance but forgot exactly where it was. Got my jeans wet while my knees were on the ground tftc

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there FarmerFrentzen. We found your cache "The Bridge" at 10:17:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11851.
[Blue]
Today, instead of travelling the TRLT trail. We started the day off from Gulgong Showground and travelled down Henry Lawson Drive to Mudgee (for some groceries) and back to Gulgong via a different road. We ended up logging 16 caches (and DNFing 0)

[Green]Thanks for placing a large cache here. It is really sad to note that the trend of placing small caches (without swaps) is increasing. While nanos and eclipse tins sometimes have their place in an urban environment these, along with 200ml Sistemas, seem to be the norm these days even out in more remote areas. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache here.[/Green]
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Good one

Armed with the hint and the photos we soon had CiH. It was geowife's first ammo can do it was very exciting find for her. Cache and log in good shape. Found with clm2760. Tftc and memory.

This is a great size cache to find in a town. It was not a difficult one to find or retrieve. TFTC.

Today was the day to complete my biggest cache run to date. From Mudgee to Gulgong and then follow The Road Less Traveled series and the surrounding caches. I started nice and early at 7:30am, and didn't finish until 11 at night! On the way I saw plenty of lizards, the first snake of the season and smelt many rotting road kill during the day, and at night I had the live kangaroos, wombats, possums and probably all the flying insects banging into my head when I had the torch on.
Over all the experience was worth it and great big thank you to the CO's who put all of the caches out there.

TFTC

Great discovery love it , well done

it took me two tries to find. in the end I found it with my family. they were a great help.

Nice easy find. Could not see it as we approached but it didn't take long to check all the likely hiding spots. Had a lovely time playing on the bridge like a pair of overgrown children. Love the old ammo tins. Hoping to stop by again tomorrow to drop off some travel bugs. TFTC.

Great stuff, huge ammo in the burbish areas. Awesome bridge. Very unexpected.

Good size cache in the middle of the town, neat hide.TFTC

Find No: 4672. Visiting from Newcastle, staying for the weekend in Mudgee, great hide, gets a favorite, thanks for the cache FarmerFrentzen!!

Find #1 of 4 total caches for the day

With a new location and now beginning to bring the crew into a cache mode I was off to the local libary to get the necessary information to begin caching the area, after down loading the necessary program to get the computer to talk to the GPS and a few other things it was off for a few caches and some sight seeing. (The download process didn't go as smooth as I would have liked, but hey! that is what you get when trying to do things on the road) We did however get the necessary information for 5 caches into the GPS and planned a trip to see what we could find.

This was our first cache for the day and only after a short time the container of goodies was in hand and the log signed along with that traveller liberated from this container it was off to see what else we could find.

Thanks for this lovely location FarmerFrentzen and a well place nice sized cache for the location however you really have to watch out for those trolls they come up fast.

Total Cache count = 7 total 6 Traditional and 1 Multi

The total count for the day was 4 consisting 4 Traditional

Beauitful day enjoyed drive from Dubbo on the way to home, via stop some caches on highway...
Wow awesome view bridge...
Sign in as no trouble.. Take TB...
Thanks

Tftc nice one nice spot tank you

That was tough. Due to muggle activity that wasn't going away in a hurry, the container is on the adjacent beam. I checked to see that it was still obscured as before and I believe it is okay. Co, you may want to check it.

Gj.mackay kurt jenny renny kayla found it

Searched for a while, couldn't find

Finished off a nice afternoon of exploring Mudgee and doing a bit of caching along the way. Found that our arms were just long enough but stealth wasn't an option when trying to return the cache to it's hiding place but all good with no muggles to be seen or heard!

Ehhh easy

TFTC. Found this one while in town for the RFSA Conference. Came at it from the right direction and spotted it straight away.

Quick find while in town for RFSA conference. Tftc

Sweet stash!!

Success. Thanks!

Easy find, the container is a bit of an overkill though

Great find

Found today, great hide!

Great find while visiting for the weekend

We had a yummy dinner at the pub, then decided to do a few caches around Mudgee. We both spotted this one at about the same time, from different sides, but it needed bikerbuddy's longer arms to retrieve it. So lovely to see an ammo can here, where so many people would have placed an eclipse tin.

We walked over the bridge & back afterwards, and got rather bounced.

Thanks

We did this one at night after having dinner at the pub. It was a quick walk across the field and a quick find too. It was just a bit of a stretch to retrieve it. We took a walk over the bridge after we replaced the cache. We could actually see the bridge rails bounce as we walked, which made me once again think about the need to lose weight. Thanks

Have to get down on your hands and lnees

Wet and cold - but cool bridge and hiding spot

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Gumboots came in handy on this wet day for keeping feet dry. TFTC

Here in a wet day nearly missed it TFTH

Biggest box, smallest contents.

found on a quick trip to town while camping. Tftc

Could not spot it from afar but worked out where it had to be. Lovely stroll on a beautiful day - thanks.

A lovely walk on a beautiful autumn day with a cache at the end. Perfect! How clever of you tohidesuch a large cache in such a well travelled place. Thanks.

Nice one

After a fair walk to the new bridge took a while after assuming a few wrong things. The bridge even "sings" if you tread heavily on it. No trackable there but I left one, Country Kangaroo. Should start his travels in the country.
TFTC Farmer Frentzen...Fav point.

Found with muller. Found trackable 60MHXR. Nettie beetle

Day 77 of my trip to Brisbane.

Fifth day on the road, destination Bathurst. I'm having a shortish driving day, to see what I can see, do some caches as I go, and get in some walking with the GeoSchnauzers. It turned out to quite an interesting day, with great scenery, interesting caches, and nice walks. I'm a bit late with the logging, I'm home now, and have five days of caching to log. Have I made 1000 caches on the trip? Today's nineteen gets me to 954.

No 2 of 19 today. Thanks, FarmerFrentzen. Good one. I've dropped off my second last travel bug here. Beezly has had a good trip with us, and has been to nearly two thousand caches with us. Thanks for the memories, Beezly!! I enjoyed bouncing over the suspension bridge, and talked to several muggles, thankfully well after I'd replaced the cache.

Nice walk in my home town. Beautiful day for it. Loved the gc container!. Left buttons SL TN TFTC.

We found this quickly. We took the TB to continue on its journey. TFTC

Fun

OMG I have walked over this a thousand times !!

Fun

Out for a drive (1400km) from Sydney to Sydney in a 500hp car.

My wife (caval) and I are travelling through NSW and Queensland. As we stop and do hikes we also try to find some geocaches.
We also came along this cache and we found it.

Thank you FarmerFrentzen for the cache and greetings from Switzerland.

Thanks for taking us to see this bridge on our visit to Mudgee

Pleasant stroll to the bridge. The long grass made the cache a bit harder to spot but we found it in the end. TFTC
