Bridging the Murray Pinjarra, Western Australia, Australia
By Comdek and Crew on 24-Sep-05. Waypoint GCQP3B

Its been 12 months since the owners visited...

visited hear again

so many DNF's

it's time

it aint there plenty of DNF's

had a big search, and for a cache if diff of 1 it should have been right there

Lots of muggle kids around (who didn't care what I was doing) so I searched all around but no luck. Seems like it might be gone.

DNF

after all the DNF's im pretty confident this one has dissapeared.

dissapointing coz its a nice spot

too many muggles. Couldn't find it.

We would have to agree that this one is gone...searched high and low for it today.

once again another DNF on this one. we were in the area again, this time with the geokids, but still no luck. Please advise if cache is still there, appears to be long list of no finds here.Geokids still had a great time on the bridge and in the park feeding the ducks and crows.

I was out showing a relatively new cacher some of the ropes and thought this one would be a quick easy find, our team found it a while ago, so I knew where it was. No luck today though. I think it's gone.

couldn't find this one even after being given a helping hand by no2 of 2+4.will try again at a later date if all is well. Please advise if cache is there as we are new to caching. thanks.

we were desperate to find this one and really tried hard to find it

C&C might need to check it out

somehow this one slipped through our fingers after two attempts

a lot of litter around, Maybe it has been muggled?

TNLN

I think there is more water in this Murray than the other one. Quick find today after an elderly muggle completed his crossing. Thanks Comdek and Crew.

Found nice and quickly. Log book a little messy and damp. Nice spot for a cache.

What a really neat place. Really enjoyed the walk up the path and looking at the plaques along the way. The Poinsettia (spelling) was just beautiful. It was just so bright and magnificent. The bridge was great and the geese all over the place. Got heaps of great photos of everything including Mal & Gav. Thanks for bringing us here, totally enjoyed it.

Re-visited this cache today at 10:30am while out caching with Mischief's Crew. Once again enjoyed the walk across the suspension bridge.

Found with Dead_reckoning. Good spot - took an amazing picture.

Took a little bit to figure out what was happening. didn't bring any notes, which always makes it interesting.

A nice easy find to pin point but difficult to get to, plenty of muggles around. It was made more so when No1 discovered nothing to write with, sorry we couldn't leave anything either.
We enjoyed lunch on the bank before heading off to find another cache very close.

TFTH

#2 loved this spot, cheers!

Stopped here for lunch and there were lots of muggles in the area, retrieved the cache without being seen. It is a great spot to take a break and look around the town.

Just after logging the find (away from GZ) a small friendly pooch forced his owner to let him see what I was up to, the owner stayed away at the end of a very long lead, very popular area on nice sunny days. TNLNSL. TFTH

Found ok, were lucky seemed to be a quiet time for strollers.

TFTH

It was hard not to look suspicious with so many people out enjoying the sunshine today. We looked in the obvious places but to no avail...having said that we didn't have our caching gloves with us either so we didn't really dig around for it. At first we were using the other Suspension co-ords...doh! Then GeoAl realised our mistake although the right co-ords didn't help us either.

Next time, great bridge and views!

Janale Girls

Found while on a brief stopover in Pinjarra on a bus tour of South West WA. Great bridge.
TFTC

TFTH, was a great place to stop and break up our day. Kids enjoyed viewing the wildlife from a distance

found with fully

signed log easy find

Thanks for the cache, great possie, havent been around the back of Pinjarra before, great place for a picnic. Cache needs a little TLC.....Team Datrad

Nice easy find, thanks for bringing me here, have been travelling that way for about 10 years but never stopped before.
Cache needs some maintenance, the log book is full and starting to get mouldy, also no writing device.
Cheers
Mark

took a little while to find after having to wait for some muggles to pass. TFTH

Stopped for a quick find on way back from Bunbury Thanks

Watch your step just near GZ. After just warning Little Miss Us not to step into it, Mr Us fell straight into it ......... but it did provide a handy spot to search for the cache from!
A quick and easy find, and our last in WA before having to head back east to face the grindstone on Monday.
TFTC - TNLNSL
Cheers.

My first WA cache. Picked this one up by chance as the bus I was in stopped briefly in the nearby carpark.

easy to find but hard to avoid muggles logbook was swimming in the placky bag I left log in sun for 10 minutes and dried inside placky bag, silicagel bag was broken so I tossed it.

Bart found this one after Homer had given up. Pays to be short.

THIS WAS A NICE QUICK EASY FIND.
TFTH "EAGLEMANIACS"

TFTH. ANOTHER GR8 FIND WITH COMBINED EFFORT WITH EAGLEMANIACS.
"WANDERING WILLOWS"

Poured with rain the first time we tried to look, so hard to be discreet, so came back later, was easy find then.
Enjoyed the bridge and the history lesson.

Found on a quiet Sunday morning, on our way down to Orienteering in the Ferguson valley. Nice spot for a coffee break. Took a couple of tries (search, coffee and a think, search again). Couldn't work out how Bariloche would have been able to see this from 'the opposite side'. SL TFTH.

Yes..like others it took us awhile, especially on such a fine day when there heaps of muggles crossing.

Great spot..Signed the log and walked back to the Tea rooms near the church for a well deserved cream tea...Yummo.

Took us a bit of guessing but found in the end. Thanks for bringing us here - visiting from Cape Town , SA. Bushpigs

Had to be very careful here, the rain has washed away some of the bank and lots of Muggles. TNLNSL.

It had us looking, but we met the challenge and found it. TFTC

again visited this one with family, was unable to locate it

Could not find it either it is definatly gone.
Nice spot anyway

Not hard to find although for some reason it took us 15 minutes. It wasnt the muggles it must be our dim eyes. Nice park and it has a BBQ. When we see a BBQ we take note of it for later use. Some time when we are passing though we will stop and have a break. Thanks for the hunt

Found it again.. Well actully Drove Devar to this one to get his find

Number 1 / 11 for today

Another nice easy find in a great location, had to wait a while for the muggles to clear but it was a lovely day to be enjoying our surroundings.
Clever hide
Thanks 'Comdek and Crew'

1/11

Found easily with wot & Billy, TFTH, that bridge is cool. As I got out of the car I realised I'd left my CF card in the computer at home. Camera is useless without memory card.

Rated: for Overall Experience

first for the day,found on the ground
looked like it fell off
read the log but forgot to bring a pen

Our second cache in the area for the day. Nice easy Find.

Busy spot to do this.TFTH

Found after crossing bridge
Had to wait a bit before replacing the cache due to muggles
SL TFTH

8:15pm, a good driver reviver stop on my way home from a mountain bike race in Nannup. Luckily there was a break in the rain. Noone else about, had the place all to myself.

The lid was off the cache when I found it, so signed the log and put it back together. Put the cache back where I found it, but I'm not sure if that's where it's supposed to live...

T4TH and break from driving

I looked on the opposite side from where the GPS indicated and it was a good move - the cache was very obvious from there. Then I went to the correct side to retrieve it. Good cache. TNLN

A lovely little walk to the cache site and an enjoyable hunt for the micro. SL.
Many thanks,
The Coastway Cruisers.

Had no idea what I was looking for and nearly missed it.

hooray no muggles about this time had the area all to myself.Lovely spot has a great view love to have it in my backyard
Thanks for the hunt
cheers an beers

Just re-logging caches i have done under a different team name (3BlindEyes)

After an enjoyable lunch on the grass by the river bank, we walked across the bridge to look for the cache. Excellent suspension bridge, I loved it! Good fun! Ursula soon found the cache at 1:30pm. Signed the log and replaced the cache before any muggles caught us. Thanks for the hunt Comdek and Crew.

Took advantage of a quiet lunchtime and found this one with ease. Had previously tried this one but the area is prone to muggles...but not today!!!TFTCSL.

Found this one on a lazy afternoon walk nice spot.I hate these bridges.
TNLN
I would have signed the log but i had no pen.
TFTH

Second suspension bridge crossed today and I absolutely hate them! Things we do for the hunt! Found without too much difficulty. TNLNSL

Called in to check cache and replace the log book.

Aha! So that's why there was an empty logbook in the cache!
We were there about 1645, so I wonder how much we missed the Crew by?

We both spotted it at about the same time, and Mama Bear retrieved it while the bridge rattled and shook as a tribe came across it. We filled in the log just in time to wait for the crew to head back over the bridge before we could replace it!

(As someone who grew up on the banks of the REAL River Murray, PBL has to point out that this little creek is a minor tributory. He has to. Really.)

Good things in small packages... Love the bridge.

Found with Bibra Boys on a lovely Winters afternoon. I have been through and to Pinjarra many atime for the trotting meetings but didn't know this bridge existed.

Thanks for helping me see more of a lovely country town.

It took a bit of encouragement to get one of the Seekers Inc. team to cross the bridge - it gets up a bit of a rock with all the tourists from the local festival trying to cross at once.

We had to set guards to watch that nobody was watching us when we attempted to locate the cache. The Team : Pathfinder geo-terriers made us look like we were just letting them have a sniff around. A fantastic front I think especially since I had to get down on my hands and knees. Just told people my Jack had seem a rabbit!!!!!

Seekers Inc. looked straight at the cache and then headed off looking high and low and elsewhere. They didnt believe me when I said I had spotted it - they thought it was something else!!!!

Unfortunately we didnt take a pen with us to record our visit - I dont think there was much room left on the list anyway. Definately not enough space for someone as blind as me to write on

I hadto use he gpsr as a moblie so the nuggel and k9 muggel didn't know.

found it on the ground.

found it on the way home from a camping trip.

Didn't find it last time I passed here but it seemed easier this time.

Walking the bridge with Billy, Mattsta and Dan was a scary experiance.. Its still there !!!!
Didnt sign the book but took a photo to prove i was there.. ill post soon

On our way south we stopped here to take a break, and the cache was a bonus. The kids crossing enjoyed the bridge.

Just had to walk across the bridge and back, that's so cool. Easy find. Thanx [:X]

Not having a constant stream of muggles crossing the bridge on this occasion, I found within a minute. TFTH

Easy find, walked right up to it and there it was. Didnt know that this bridge was here.

Lovely location.
Had to wait for a tourist who was taking photos, before we could put it back.

Drove around the far side and it was the best spot to attack the cache. Bel will not walk across these bridges with me. (big Sook)This magnetic micro proved too easy considering our lack of success with the other Crews micros. Was almost a disapointment when it was spotted as a conventional container. But that sometimes is the way we like it.
Thanks Comdek and Crew

Found this very nice place on our way to Bussleton,
thanks

Didn't know this bridge existed, so just had to cross it while the muggles went by. A little tricky to find as I didn't have my notes with the cache desciption, but success after 10 minutes or so. T4TH

well I cant find it I looked every where in the area.
will have to try again when we are down here next time.

Easy find on the way to Perth on a detour.

No muggles around on GZ side of bridge and had six year old on the lookout to make sure no one on the other side was sticky beaking.

Thanks for the hunt.

Thought I was facing logging a DNF on this one as my first attempt was no go. Decided to head off and find Suss Pension in Sanctuary. Whilst there checked the hint. Another one of those smack head moment.

Decided to head back for second look. Enroute to the locality called by at the awarding Pinjarra bakery. Well worth the visit if you like pies. You can find at S32 37.864 E115 52.284. Armed with a pie I went back to ground zero and there it was! Signed the log.

Thanks Comdek and Crew for bringing me to this magic spot.

Gee! Found the micro, I didn’t realised how lovely bridge. So thank you for organised the cache and hunt.

Second attempt and found easily. Left small surprise for next vistor.

Thanks.

2300hrs: Found it and there was no muggles in sight we all had the bridge to ourselves (Everlasting will sms you, BibraBoys about the small surprise) Thanks for the cache.

Tried this on the way home a week or two ago, but the place was a hive of activity, unlike Sunday. Neat little cache.

a fue mugles around!
good find

Found it with the Geo Nephews

Headed out from home on a day of GEO caching and dashing. This was the first of the morning and an easy find although Gizmo didn't enjoy the walk accross the bridge [:o)]

Thanx for the Hunt Comdek and Crew.

Found easily after parking on the western side of the river and walking back. We saw several locals on the bridge, including one who told us to be careful. TN-LN-SL. Thanks Comdek for the cache.

Called in on our way to Bunbury to make sure all was still OK as there had been a couple of DNF's.

Cache is still in place and intact!

Was short of time and didnt have logs to read clue...now that Ive read it - it has cancelled out about 100 places where I would have looked!

GPSr had me standing right on top of it so I got on hands and knees looking for a container...

As time was pressing decided to add to the "later" list.

What a pain, people just walking across then turning around and going back while I tried not to look suspicious. Like the stream of muggles, the clue didn't help.

Found this on the way south.

Had to wait for a granpa muggle and his grandchildren to slowly amble their way across the bridge before I could put it back and then after I caught up to them on the other side I overheard him tell his granddaughter that there was a big duck for her to look at only the only birds anywhere near where he was pointing were geese.

Thanks for the hunt.
