Geocache Description:


ANGASTON

This cache is placed at the western entry into the town itself or very close to one of the historic buildings in Angaston, the Historic Arch Bridge.
An extract from the Historic Society reads,
Angaston Stone Arch Bridge built 1865.
Situated on the Nuriootpa-Angaston Road as you enter the town from Saltram Winery, Angaston Bridge or Stone Arch Bridge was opened on December 6 1865 by Governor Dominick Daly, K.T. Miss Salter, escorted by G.F. Angas, broke the bottle or christened it. Joshua Crann was the contractor and James Bidge (he should have been called James Bridge) the Builder. This bridge is among the few existing examples today where a keystone is used in such work. It is believed the other (or one of them) is situated at Tarlee.
