Wow what a great place to show us. Would never have stopped to read about it, if it weren't for this cache. Didn't take long to find the container. The original logsheet is totally soaked, but the rite-in-rain paper that someone has added is still going. Found with MrMagoo72. TFTC.

A quick find today while in the neighbourhood with work. We have fond memories of caching along this abandoned railway line as we found the late great Onslow Fisherman’s Roxburgh Railway series. Thanks for this hide here, it is nice to back in this beautiful area caching.

Located this one on a bike ride from Pinders Pond to Roxburgh. Slight detour from the cycle track to get to the cache. It was a quick find. Great scenery on the Gold trail. #4906. TFTC.

Heading away for the days between the two long weekends, hopefully slightly quieter than if we'd gone during the weekends.
A quick findhere, and an interesting read of the panels. How much better the roads are now than in the photos of the opening parade from Roxborough. Interesting to see in the back photo that the bridge was at least number 2, and has since been superceded with just the pillars remaining.
Thanks for the cache RaynPengi
