Great spot to stretch the legs.
Agree with previous comments that terrain difficulty could be higher. Also log needs replacing.

Thanks ASCgeo, no problems here. Brunch stop off on way back to the big smoke via Alexandra from Gooram. Log needs a little TLC! Found with Jimmytherat
Geohusband played the troll here and had this one in hand very quickly. TFTC
Came back a second time with geomum and found it just a tip for those who can’t find it don’t look on the Vickery street side TFTC find number 41
In the area for Easter and wanted to get away from the busy town centre. A nice stroll along the creek. The hints in the log were helpful on this one. The logbook was full and in need of some maintenance though. TFTC
Appeared to have been washed away based on where we found, we put it back in a spot that lined up with the clues provided
Oh I do hate a DNF! I was under, I was over, I was on this side and that... I was covered in sticky green balls and I was sadly without a Found log
Found with Kittykatch, Joolay, Youban and Tankengine while in the area caching for the weekend.
We were lucky with the weather having the worse already pass us, but some roads were still closed from the flooding.
This cache: This one wasn’t as under as we thought thankfully. Tftc!!!

Nice find on a little walk while visiting Alexandra. Thanks. Could do with a new logbook
Quick find in tranquil setting on a sunny weekend. Many frogs croaking nearby. TFTC
Previous hints do give a clue that you certainly need to do a bit of scrambling. The location appeared to put it in the middle of the bridge so it's a 50/50 chance that you are on the correct side to scamble around. All I will say is this: you know you are on the wrong side if you can see it clearly on the other side. A great spot. TFTC.
What a Lovely little stream. Out for a leg stretch after a day on the GVRT and found this easily. Good clues. Stayed at the bridge for a while listening to the calming sound of the water. TFTC.
Thanks for the cache ASCgeo, the box was found in good condition there are a few blank spots in the log but it looks like a complete historic record of the movement of Geocachers back through the millennia. Great location, and seeing the decay under, made me a bit cautious when crossing. Regards from Victourer
Tricky one, worth reading the previous finds and recommend wearing good shoes! Tftc!!
Tricky find but found it. Also the book is full so if the creator sees this probably put another book in!
Found by edmil@1:25pm. Maddie still out of action with covid. Quick find with no muggles in cooee of the cache. Log signed and cache replaced in hide. No swap made.
We stayed in Alexandra last night, on our way to Wangaratta Mega Event. We found this cache before we left, nice and easy - thank you!

Day 1 of my Mega journey, with plenty of sun and kilometres to cover to get myself up to Wangaratta.
Only seeing one snake today thank God over all the day was great, thanks for being a part of a great day.

Had a good look from both ends, maybe not good enough if it's still there, but neither tassie expat or I were able to find it today. Thanks anyway.
We tried to find this in the dark on the way through town Friday, but had the wrong shoes on. Back today and a much easier find. TFTC
I felt like exploring Alexandra and doing a bit of relaxed caching today And as Star the Geo-car has been cleaned prior to servicing, and wanted to admire the shiny paintwork for at least a few days That means staying out of the forest Shady little town and may come back here sometime.
The description and recent logs captured my interest and off I drove to the bridge. Must have got lucky as the cache was the first place I looked Thinking the Terrain rating is a bit underbaked. Otherwise all good here

Ma and Pa dragon, out on a restful weekend after returning the now not so young dragon to a large educational establishment in Bundoora, are taking a roundabout route home to the dragon lair. What better way to spend some time but to find a few caches.
The creek had a bit of water in it, but decided against any wading as the blackberries were a bit thick. Found the correct area to look in, and amongst the cobwebs, a cache which was retrieved after use of a stick for cobweb duties.
The cache is in good condition and well hidden. Signed the log and replaced the cache.

thanks for the search ASCgeo

#4375 Enjoying a caching day out in the Alexandra area. Once we got down to the right level the cache was spied and the cobwebs cleared for the find. Loved the olde timbers on the bridge. TFTC ASCgeo.
It's been my first visit to Alex and its been very enjoyable, thanks to all the cache owners here, l have only got a few caches and been taken to some wonderful places. Well done Alexandra. Will be back, my last day here today. The log is almost full. TFTC
As a member of TeamOZCAT logged in this cache, I am now logging as an individual predominantly to avoid any mistaken/unnecessary revisitation.
Under groundspeak guidelines, this logging is acceptable as I was indeed at Cache GZ in person in recent times. However, all cache owners have the right to delete logs as they see fit. Usually done to "Armchair loggers" or inappropriate texting.
If any cache Owner/s have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact.
TeamOZCAT logged finds when both Karen and Reg logged as individuals. This logging is exactly the same, only in reverse. Again, groundspeak acceptable.
For an unspecified period of time TeamOZCAT are no longer cache searching but remain active in our cache management and maintenance.
I sincerely thank all CO's and wish you all the best in your endeavours. Cheers Karen
