MURRAY'S BRIDGES Swanport, South Australia, Australia
By SUEDENHARR on 14-Jun-05. Waypoint GCPA90

Downloaded the waypoints for this one on the 4th. Didn't realise that temporarily disabled caches downloaded
Found waypoint one, opened lid and part of it blew out in a gust of wind! Eventually located it, but it looks like it doesn't matter now.
Cheers

Decided to archive this as there is too much work being conducted at the final WP.

decided to disable this as it is in a spot that could damage the garden if cachers do not be careful. Will re-locate soon.

Have been waiting for others to set a pattern and yes it was but now its not. bummer A. Try again later.

I'm gonna list this as a dnf as I'm not sure when sudenhaar grabbed it. I was there about 1230 today...

Hello SUEDENHARR are you there? Or more importantly is IT there

But it was found on the 4th of July Voogs! [?] [:o)] [?]

Loved spot 1, spot 2 was searched very hard (no muggles today)... unless both me and mrs voogoofish are blind it maybe missing, we were in the right spot methinks! let us know if you can there was so much traffic (cachers and muggles) on the 25th, maybe it was seen and muggled?

TNLN

Nice Garden area but lots of traffic & muggles

Well I found Wp1 about 2 months ago but was in a rush so I couldn't complete it, and like always I couldn't find the final coords and I had to find Wp1 again.
TNLN
Thanks SUEDENHARR great idea

Did section one on Sat on way to Tailem Bend and then finished it on Sunday. How to not look suspicious!!!! Took Garfield keyring, left Soap

Found at 11.00am Lots of muggles everywhere, but a sucessful find anyway. Took the lion and left coloured chalk.

Found 9:00, our first cache of the day and our last for this trip to SA. Great views from both locations

TNLN, thanks SUEDENHARR.

Found by JackHenry 13/3/06 @ 14:40
Wind was blowing well at WP1. Had to do the 'calculation' in the car away from the wind. Went to cache site and took Euro 10 cent piece and left Aussie Thong fridge magnet SL

Well this all got a bit interesting with a howling southwester blowing through. We retreated to the car after scaring the young couple and their sports car off. The final location was familiar as our first nemesis cache was on that bridge and was archived before we could find it. Grabbed Shelldrake TB for a return to Adelaide.

A nice little multi, even found "Billy Goat's Gruff" on the way. I realy liked WP1's clue, but be careful of the wind! Dodged a bridal party doing the pre-wedding photo thing, but at 16.05h I dropped of a WA traveller to be near the river. Took - Aussie flag fridge magnet. Left - Garfield & TB Shelldrake. TFTC

Found at 12.37pm after finding the initial cache yesterday. Had trouble finding GZ1 and was nearly going to give up when all the other cars left and I was able to go ballistic and found it. Got to GZ2 on the 27th but could not get near as park in use. Rain on the 28th gave me a clear shot and I found it OK exactly where I thought it would be when looking from a distance on the 27th. TNLN Thanks for the cache.

Second time back to first location with paperwork in hand. very easy to find with clues, the view is excellent.GZ was found very quickly, however junior cacher nearly cut foot on broken beer bottle THANKS FOR THE CACHE IT WAS GOOD

Took another set of eyes to GZ today on the way back to VIC, but still no luck?

Didn't find at 1.16pm EST. GZ1 was easy but the final GZ stuffed me? The heat must have got to me. I went back again later in the day to see whether I had missed anything but still no luck? Oh well, back to Vcitoria.

WP1 was a wonderful challenge with the wind that was blowing in MB today but we got there eventually. GZ was found without to much diffculty. TNLNSL TFTC.

I enjoyed this one a lot. Two good hides. The last was easy to locate but difficult to retrieve without looking suspsicious to all the passing muggles!! Took tape measure and left egg timer.

The first WP didn't take too long to find and solve but decided to find a couple of other geocaches on the way to the final. Crossed a single lane bridge over the railway about midway and decided to take some photos. At GZ I looked left and #1 looked right, and right she was to look there. #1&4 made a swap each and then off we were to hunt a Bunyip. TFTH SL

Found this cache when I was still a member of Beakers Bunch.
Thankyou

Found on the way to Adelaide for the annual relie bash. A top cache with a great idea for a multi. Found both points and fairly quickly filled in the logbook.
TNLNSL
Thanks again.

We loved the method for decoding the final coordinates, both of us worked on it back in the geoCruze. Wasn't looking forward to retrieving the cache with all the muggles driving by, everyone one of them staring at us. Knelt down to tie the laces of my pull-on boots, and soon had cache in hand. Waited for the best opportunity to replace, then a quick getaway. Took a girrafe and left a horse. Picked up TB Swedish Chef. Thanks yet again SUEDENHARR.

Dropped off TB Swedish Chef, took shark keyring.

Thanks, Chris & Renate from Barrie, Ontario, Canada

It was very windy which made doing the required task frustrating. That gust of wind at the wrong time just had to happen!! WPT2 was found a few days later when returning back west. I swapped bottle opener for bottle opener. Others after me, don’t worry, the cache is easy to find. Just wait for your chance – you will know where it is. Thanks Sue, Dennis and Harrison Allam for this cache placement – as they should be in these spots [^].
Clear skies, TeamAstro.

A fun cache to do.
Wind was up a bit and I had to relocate to the back of the Pathfinder as bits of the puzzle were getting blown around the front seat.
It was around lunchtime when I arrived at GZ so I took an esky and drink container with me and set up picnic near GZ while I recovered cache.
I got some nice pictures of the bridges.

Found at 7:30 pm
Couldn't find 1st part made a quick call to team witch whom
looked up decryption clue
A big thanks to team witch
found quickly puzzle solved then onto 2nd part

Lots of muggles young Geoleoni secured the cache
took lanyard and dinosaur
left lion and giraffe

There was a rock band playing chrissy carols in the distance

Spent a night within walking distance of WP1 (yes, really!), so found the first location just before a nice refreshing dip in the River. Found the second location easily enough, hopefully without arousing suspicion. TNLN. Thanks Suedenharr

Enjoyed WP1. We had to come back later to the final as we were driving the other direction so came back a couple of hours later to finish. Final location was quite busy but managed to sneak it out and back without suspicion.

TNLN
Thanks SUEDENHARR

Great little puzzle to put together before going to GZ, views of the bridges were fantastic and the boy learn't a little history near the cache.
Thanks for the cache,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the Saw many different Bridges Clan.

Had lunch at point one. A howling gale made the puzzle rather difficult and had to retreat to the car to solve it. Found the final loc easily, and as the notes indicated, had to contend with a passing cavalcade of cars. I suddenly developed a HUGE interest in the close examination of bushes and memorial plaques . Thanks for an interesting cache SUDENHARR. TNLN

Noone at the first location this morning, although plenty of evidence that the crowds admiring the views do come and go.

The solution to the puzzle sent us in the right direction and we found the cache in no time.

Thanks guys for an interesting trip.

A good multi to show us around Murray Bridge while we were staying in the nearby Long Island Caravan Park for a few days.
Would have had a cuppa at the final destination, but Trev had nothing to eat, so gave it a miss.
Took a round reflector and left a smiley face magnet. Thanks Suedenharr.

Hi, thought we would try to pick up a few after a days shooting on the range. This one was begging to be found so that's what we did. Had some fun programming in the second lot of coordinates(cleverly presented)as we are still quite new to this and the Magellan (now nicknamed "Gerald" by the Lace part). Eventually mastered the art and set off. Captured a Billy Goat on the way and then completed the second part.
TOOK Manicure set and Minnie Mouse Magnet
LEFT Emu and animal snap cards.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Lead 'n Lace

Very chilly at the first location and a few muggles around. It was a 'good fun' cache.
Took large koala, Left mini mouse clip magnet.

Was fighting the darknes to finds this and had intended to go straight on to the freeway home. That was not to be.
Found the second location as the headlights of cars passed by.
TNLNSL

Grabbed this one after dark on the way back thru the bridge.
Thanks S!

This was my first caching experience. For my introduction I had the cache owner suedenharr by my side. Beautiful day, nice view. I have been there once before but only as a muggle...
Took a cute duck finger puppet.
Left a manicure set.

A clever multicache much appreciated. Took a wooden train-whistle, left a dinosoar. Saw all of Murray Bridge's bridges in the process. There are six of them aren't there? Cheers!

Lost count of the bridges with all the toing and froing(if you know what I mean); there could be six, could be nine, we saw them all. A great cache Suedi, yet again. Very clever. Forgot what we took and left, but it was definitely one of each!

Caravan friendly. Enjoyed the view and only one other car there. Great concept to point us in the right direction. GZ was very busy so we had to leave and come back. Took cards and left koala. Thanks Sudenharr.

Much better day today. No rain. Great idea at Waypoint 1. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Went straight to GZ. Thanks Suedenharr for a great cache. Can't remember what we took and left but it was definitely something (secretary let us down - didn't take notes!)

Found by Mary & David at 1145. Bitterly cold day with more rain in store as we head back home to Melbourne. We'd never stopped at the first lookout before despite many trips to Adelaide over the years. A great way to show off the town. We enjoyed working out the next coordinates too. Took sticky notes, left three-wheeler motor bike. Also collected TB 'Buddy the Beaver'. Our thanks again to Suedenharr.

Loved Waypoint 1, collected clues and off to waypoint 2. Found cache in the first place we looked. A good view of the bridges from here. It makes the cache so much more fun for everybody when people go to that little extra bit of thought & effort when placing their caches.

Took Mini tape
Left duckfinger puppet
Released TB Buddy the Beaver
Thanks Seudenharr, we really enjoyed this one.

Location 1 no problems. Middle of the day and I had it all to myself. Then off to GZ which was very busy. Once the Joggers, council workers and traffic cleared the cache was in hand in seconds. Formalities completed it was back in place before the council workers returned & I was off! Nice way to spend an hour, Cheers Suedenharr.
