----------

Hi there kangadrew72,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so I am having to take the next step and temporarily disable the cache - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.


- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**


- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another Geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

I searched high, low and In-between for this one. I even found the hint but could not find the cache. could anyone confirm as to the location?

No luck

Used previous hints in the logs to try assist us with no luck this time

Could not spot it.

What a way to end an extended GF long weekend. Weather was beautiful too boot. We have walked and run this trail numerous times. This bridge is wonderful. Bridges always have so many Nooks and crannies to search. However it is such a focal point on this trail, that avoiding muggles was difficult on such a beautiful day.. . Will have to try again when there are fewer muggles out and about

I spent a lot of time under the bridge on my belly etc following the hints but couldn't find anything to that didn't fit thus no result today.

We looked high and low but could not find it even with suspected tools.

Nice one 2nd time lucky

Wooden trestle bridges are special - and it is nice to see one still functioning. We have recently visited Kilcunda and Noojee bridges too, which are fabulous examples, but are now rail trail structures. It was great to hear the train rumble overhead as we searched for the cache. Nice hide. TFTC

Nice hide, found during the Clean Up Australia Day event today. TFTC

A nice find after watching trains from the library windows while borrowing books. Took a few minutes to find after scouring for clues in the posts We felt the bridge shake as a train went over

It took me a while to find this fellow. I had been given a tip that turned out to be wrong. Being a hot day, I was very happy when I found it, and signed the log. Surprised to have several trains crossing the bridge during my hunt. I thought it was now a relic of the past.
Thanks kangadrew72. Job well done.

It was just starting to drizzle when I reached the GZ, and all the dog owners had already gone home. Therefore I could search for the cache without fear of being noticed.
I took about ten minutes to find it, and get back to the car before the rain started in earnest.
Thanks for the cache kangadrew72

It's time to dish out a favourite. Mizone with the find here. What an awesome bridge! We stood under as it flexed and groaned as the trains went by. Thank you for show casing this wonder!

Revisited as we were in the area today. changed our tactic a little and was rewarded nicely.

TFTC

Rumble rumble the train went overhead.. roaming Howie chatted away on the phone. I looked and could not see. He finished gas bagging and then said have you found this - holding it in his hand! Too quickly!

Thanks for the Nicely hidden cache

A tyre repair for the georanger and new shoes for Larry meant we were in the area with a bit of time to kill so caching it is!

I was on a phone call as we arrived here so let Kristysadventures have a head start. I finished the call but she still hadn’t found it so I made a quick find much to her disgust.

Thanks kangadrew72 for the cache.

This cache was a far as I walked from the car before looping back. As I started my search a train rumbled over - that was quite an experience. I was beginning to think that I would not find this cache, but taking a step back I saw something that was not quite right and there it was. TFTC kangadrew72

Found with a muggle. Good little search for the beginner

Found found it after searching, clever hide thanks
You really need to steal yourself for this one.

Tough to find but worth it when you

Please fix it

Beautiful day to start the school holidays. Well hidden. Had my hand on it a couple of times before realising it was it. TFTC. Sanitised after finding.

.

Read some hints and got down low. TFTC

Find 3 for us can’t wait to find the others in the area

Finally turning the sad face into a happy one! Took a bit of searching and reading logs helped! TFTC!

First find for the day, it was ozlsn who spotted it first. Reading past logs helped us in the search. TFTC!

I’d read about this cache for years and today we were in the area with a bit of time to cache. I am very familiar with this bridge as I’ve travelled over it numerous time in my late teenage years, before I got a car for transport and moved away from the area. A short search by both of us didn’t reveal the cache. It’ll have to wait for another time. We needed food, soon!

Amazing hide. This was so much fun. Thank you for the cache.
It was so low. Get on your tummy kind of low.

I needed my daily exercise after being at home all day and especially now that all my sporting and other activities have been cancelled. I decided to do a long walk around Alistair Knox Park and seeing as this cache was close by I would have a look for it too.

I parked in Panther Place and wandered over to GZ. Not many muggles around this afternoon, just the occasional jogger or walker who was too busy to worry about me. I walked around GZ a few times before spotting a possible hiding spot. When I search the spot I felt the cache but the magnet was sooo strong that I couldn't budge it. Using a method I have used on similar caches I eventually managed to wiggle it out of its hiding spot and sign the log at 4:15 pm. TNLN. I then rehid the cache securely in its hiding spot. Even though the cache hadn't been found for several weeks I still used hand sanitiser after finding the cache to stay safe.

Thanks kangadrew72 for the cleverly hidden cache and for showing me this historic and wonderfully constructed trestle bridge. Before heading off for my walk I took a few photos of the bridge and did some trainspotting (see accompanying photo).

Tftc - another during the start of the Coronavirus madness!

Found you while scouting wedding photoshoot locations!

- AA

Awesome hide, the mozzies were out tonight and despite to keep it quick, took us about 10 minutes:)

What a great feeling to turn this DNF into a smiley today. Thanks for maintaining this cache Kangadrew72.

Cache replaced now low and magnetic

Looked for a good 45 minutes, checked the hint. Found the real life equivalent of the hint, but there was no hint of the cache.

Cache absent?

We weren't able to locate this one today. The hint had us at the right location but the geocache itself was far too elusive for us to find today.

Been out here twice. First time was just me and second time was with 2 extra sets of eyes. Still no luck.

No idea if I can't see it for looking or it isn't there.

Easy find, bring a pen. Clue is accurate

Found @16:30 in my hunt for clues to solve the mystery at the museum. A nice quick find at a very interesting landmark. TFTC!

I had failed here some weeks ago but it was plain sailing today. I then wandered up to the youth caches near the station and enjoyed watching the trains trundle along the trestle. Thanks Kangadrew for this picturesque cache.

Realised after 10 minutes I was searching the wrong location. And I found the right location soon made a quick find thank you

Great find

I arrived at GZ to find this cache as described (A lot easier than last time). I had just opened the cache and was about to sign the new logbook when I saw 1 of our local constables and noticed the police helicopter above. I'm nabbed I thought especially when the police officer starting heading in my direction. Then he asked if I had seen a homeless person nearby. I told him that I had only just arrived. He then went on his way. I finished signing the log a writing this essay to the sounds of the police helicopter above. As all this was going on I had to be stealthy as there was a constant stream of muggles. Oh the excitement of geocaching. Thanks kangadrew72 for such an exciting cache.

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

We came to the park expecting it to be a quiet afternoon, and so were surprised to see the full car park and busy crowds for the football game and twilight market. This worked in our favour though, as we were able to search for the cache unobserved. The rumbling of trains on the bridge overhead was certainly a new experience! TFTC

Muggles have been at my caches again. This one replaced and is now bison in a hidey hole.

Enjoyed finding this one. Football was happening on one side & a market on the other. Quiet on the track thankfully. TFTC

A bit wet today. But I had a good long look without any luck. TFTC.

Found the tool.. but couldn't find the cache.. maybe it has been muffled

Wondering if I have found the spot?...as this one looked likely . If so..the cache inside is missing. I’ll wait to hear from CO. Pic sent

Couldn’t find it this time. We are sure we are at the correct location, but no luck. Bit too hot today to keep looking. We did however had 2 trains go over us which was pretty cool

Stumped us.
At the right section, but cannot locate

Hard find but found it.

Unable to find this one, either great spot to hide it or be muggled

Found this when I wasn't a premium member with nanna (6hinemoa2) on 06/03/2016
I was with simba junior and mum as well. Mum found it. A great camo.
The bridge has always been a stopping point for us when out walking. I knew the history of the bridge as I had studied it at school.
TFTC kangadrew72

Pretty quick to zero in on a classic cache, although it nearly ended in disaster when I retrieved it from its home and promptly dropped it before I'd actually had a proper chance to see what it looked like. Luckily I was able to identify the suspect and shortly had it home again. Sitting under the bridge while a train goes over is slightly disturbing.

This was awesome, geo kids loved it. The clue was helpful!

Visited the cache with my class whilst we celebrated footy day at the oval. I’ve been indoctrinating them over the year talking about caching and running caching activities back at school. Class was so excited to be looking for the cache. Was great to see the teamwork used to find and search for the cache. Thanks again for my 3rd visit. May be back again next year with another class!! Signed as 3/4C

Found

Wandered around a bit for this one until I narrowed the search based on the hint. Cache in hand shortly thereafter and in between muggles looking at me quizzically.

Yes, a very nicely disguised cache! Thanks for this one

An interesting hide but the train was pretty loud. Tftc

Found it just as a train came overhead so was easy to sit and feel the vibrations as muggle nearby on a working site so we managed to retrieve and sign

Found this one as a train rumbled overhead. Thanks kangadrew72

After waiting for some muggle activity to clear , we concentrated on the find and was soon rewarded . Interesting container . T4TC

Found by the Swedish Tennis Players and co. Found after just a few minutes. You have to think like a cache... didn’t bring a pen to sign though Thanks for the cache!

Great hide, tftc

Nice find. Grand old brdge

Great bridge

Found OK on a beautiful autumn day. Have read somewhere there are plans to replace this bridge in the new line upgrade. What a pity that would be.

What an awesome spot and hide. Attention to detail tftc

TFTC

Had another go at this today, found it but it was sitting on the ground, maybe the vibration of he trains on the bridge shakes it from its hide?

A little cache creep but all as it should be now.

Will have to revisit this one!

Found on weekend with Southern Bandits!!!

really fun! pushed in a bit far, but still reachable

Found with Annetherese

Found with Funsize Manor

Found relatively quickly after we sat down and thought about it.
There was a misleading wire found in a hole that threw us off track initially.
It was a bit unnerving when a train goes over above. When we heard the second one coming we got the hell out!
TFTC

When I arrived at the carpark, there was a large group of people assembling nearby...oh dear I thought...muggle army cramping my style... or are they cachers? They were neither and they traipsed off in the opposite direction to me. At GZ the caching gods were with me today and I got it quickly. thanks for the cache and the location

Drove us nutty

Drove us nutty

#2026 This one had us head scratching for a while until the ah ha moment arrived. Cache creep had indeed occured (I'll email the CO about that) but we got there in the end. A fav point from us. Well done kangadrew!

This took longer to find than I thought it would so I resorted to the hint (the kids were no help! )
It turned out that the hint wasn't much of a help either. Perhaps some cache creep? We got there in the end however.

Cheers kangadrew72, thanks for todays diversion.

Best geocache EVER

What a cache thank you kangadrew72, took a little while but I found it ok, at first my gps took me towards the creek or should I say the river at this time after the rain. A great hide thanks again. For the rest I'll be back.
Greytiger

Very clever hide.

Oh the satisfaction of finding this cache! Rookies may struggle. TFTC

I came back for a repeat visit for this one. I thought it would be so simple but it turns out previously I had been searching in the wrong section. With cricket training in progress nearby I tried to keep a low profile. I sat near the creek and then the clue hit me. I knew straightaway when I saw it where it was. I sat down to sign the cache and a train went over the bridge while doing so. I placed back as found so others can enjoy. Thanks for the challenge and the cache. It's a bridge I've travelled over many times.

We were hoping we might get run over by a train while looking for this one, but not today. TFTC

Tricky one

On an adventure with my class 2/3CU to find their first geocache. We had great fun and learnt all about geocaching.
