As there has been no response to the last request/s to attend to this cache, I have no option but to archive this listing on the basis it has been abandoned.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include **GC Number and Cache Name** ) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will unarchive it. Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

I am willing to adopt this if interested ?

Will have this up and running tomorrow. Will update again by Sunday when it is complete.

Still working on this cache, am working with another cacher to come up with a solution to the constantly being raided problem. Will hopefully have this up and running again soon.

there is enough needs maintenance on this one and i was with someone who had found it and it is gone

This needs maintenance as it keeps being raided. Will try to fix this over the school holidays. Thank you to everyone for the maintenance logs. Hope to have it back up and running as soon as possible!

cache has been muggled - needs maintenance or archiving

looked for this but no luck, did however find Kangadrew72, small world this geocaching business!

Found some friendly cachers - Bigmutts1 who coincidentally rescued a TB of mine some time ago! Small world indeed...

Nothing here today. Needs a maintenance or needs archive...

Cache muggles and needs replacement.

cache has been destroyed, needs mainenance

was looking forward to doing this cache for leap year but no luck. part of it just lying beside the bridge. hope it is up and running again soon.

Sadly this cache has been vandalised, the cover was upside down in plain sight and every thing else was missing, would have replaced , but did not have any bits with me, as caching was secondary to my visit

Found out in open upside down and all goodies missing, sadly I was attending the funeral of an old friend and finding the cache was secondary to my visit, will come back to finish some other caches around this area, as it is a lovely town and surrounds

Found game piece sitting on waters edge upturned. Have rested on a temp post off bridge. This need attention

A great find in the dark. The photo was helpful. TFTC

Great to find a cache while passing through.

Found. TFTC.

Awesome cache. Tftc

Found thanks to some other friendly Cachers! We were having some trouble but after a few minutes this nifty cache was located. A very tricky hide and great camo! I can't take the credit for it though but I jumped on the 'found' bandwagon.

Best camo I've seen in ages! TFTC

I enjoy suspension bridges and have found caxhes hidden near several others, so glad to add this to that collection. A clever caxhe so giving it a fav point TFTC bluewren88

Travelling home to Melbourne from Goughs Bay via Healesville to drop some Canadian friends off at their camp site. Needed a lunch stop and a cache and this beautiful park fulfilled both.
Had lunch whilst waiting out some junior muggles and eventually made a quick find. Nice hide.
Thanks for placing this cache bluewren88

Worms are eating the cache

#991 - Type 1/12 of today - 02:56

After a 02:45 start this morning, I had a planned route to pick up 9 cache types before arriving at the Melbourne MEGA.
After being past this cache a few times but being muggled out, it was very easy to grab the find this morning in the cover of darkness.
Tftc.

Found with Shezza2012 & Matnat28 returning home from cousins wedding reception. TFTC

Heading for the open gardens in Alexandra with jcody and picking up some caches along the way.
It took a little while, interrupted by passers-by, to get it but persistence, and a willingness to be a complete dag, paid off.

Clever

Very neat hiding spot. THFTC.

Found on the ground with little Mir pip as we where up in Alex for a round of the VRC

In Alexandra for a rally and not much preparation work left so I was able to hunt a few caches with lagavullin3. After a nice lunch in the middle of town we walked to this one first. There were muggles in the playground so just used eyes to start with and saw something on the ground that didn't look right and yes, it was the cache. Using the bridge as camo I was able to retrieve the bits, sign the log and saw how it was supposed to be and put it back - hopefully it will stay in place as it is an excellently constructed hide. Thanks to bluewren88 for this one, nice spot.

Nice cache good spot

Came back 3 times as muggles were everywhere. We sort of knew where to look and when the coast was clear we were to work. A quick look and it was soon discovered. Log signed, although a little damp and then safely back. Just in time as muggle teenagers were approaching the bridge on their bikes. A great camo and hide. Thanks

Awesome cache, sneaky hide. Love the creativity. No swaps, left dolls boot. Cheers!

Great little hide. Excellent cache, enjoyed this one. No swaps available, left dolls boot. TFTC.

It was not the find I was expecting. The camouflaged cache was on the ground upside down and I finally found the water soaked log book on the other side of the bridge. I dried the log book out a bit on the warm engine of the car and put it back in its cubby hole in a ziplock bag. There is nothing to hold the log in place at the moment. I replaced the cache in its place - and I hope this time it holds. Thanks for the cache here and full credit for the cache construction.

Very clever. Tftc

Nice one

An extremely clever cache, very well camouflaged, and brought us to a delightful place to have a sit and watch how many people actually use this lovely bridge

A lovely spot for morning tea and a smiley. Very clever cache TFTC

Thanks for the information everyone. A new log has been placed in cache, hopefully this one doesn't go missing.

Cache out is still there but no log

Cool camo. Log missing though

Found this one with luyf in our big 5 1/2 week Australia round trip.

TFTC

Found the cache very soon, but unfortunately the box and the logbook are gone. Needs to be fixed. Still a favourite point for the good idea and the nice work. Photolog ahead, thank you!

Very clever camouflage

A great spot for a cache and a cool cache hie to boot. Nice work Bluewren looking forward to your next hide. Fav for me

Fun but easy

A wonderful bridge and an excellent cache!
Thank you very much.

Now back online.

Just been taken offline for a couple of days for maintenance. Should be back up and running very soon.

Our first geo discovery. The one that got my 11 year old daughter excited about the sport. Great way to get her out of the house and into the outdoors. I'm sure there will be many more to come.

After visiting a very dear friend we thought we would grab a couple of caches here as we headed home to Ballarat. What a lovely area, we searched and searched and it is always great to meet other geocachers, thanks to glowstick428 for the find, a very sneaky hide but worth the search TFTC

Very clever hide. Found it with our friends the Williams as their first find for a cache. Tftc

out for a bike ride with the geokids
good hide

Excellent Little Hide, TFTC

After a pie at Thornton, Faulksi and I made our way into Alexandra to grab this cache. Again as he stood back watched, I fumbled around trying to find the cache in between dodging muggles crossing the bridge. Standing back and just looking while a few passed over the bridge it caught my eye and so when the coast was clear I moved in for the kill. I like it when COs make a real effort to provide a worth while hide. Thanks bluewren88 this deserves a favourite from me.
#7 for the day out with Faulksi

Found it, pretty easy
Thanks

Great cache. Check magnetic connection, does not appear to be working still.

Good hide

Very sneaky. I love it. Geogran gran first to spot. TFTC

Log to follow

Find #200. . Great cache, should be more like this one. Giving it a fav. Needed a little help from geodaughter.

We found your cache Rotary Park Suspension Bridge on 3/04/2015 11:10 am. This is our find #4180 and find #7 today.
Great hide, although a small regular and we feel an easier terrain also.
But overall a good hide

Manzie and I were heading back to Melbourne after spending the weekend in Eildon 4wding and caching and thought we'd make a quick stop for this cache. Nice hide, I found it easily enough but for some reason it eluded manzie, which is quite unusual! Manzie provided cover from nearby muggles while I signed the log, then it was off to the car wash to rinse off the weekend accumulation of mud. TFTC!

FTF!

This was a really cool cache! Firstly, the bridge itself is fantastic and definitely deserving of a cache and secondly, the cache itself is awesome. I don't want to say too much to avoid giving anything away. Thank you so much bluewren88 for this great hide. I thoroughly enjoyed signing this log book.
