Geocache Description:

WELCOME to Murray Bridge


This is a Wherigo cache. To complete the cache experience you will need to download the Wherigo cartridge from here. You can then play the cartridge on enabled devices including Oregon, mobile PC, smart phones and the emulator.

The bridge over the River Murray at Murray Bridge opened for road traffic on 26 March 1879.  The bridge, which has five 120 foot spans across the river, and a further 23 by 60 foot spans across the swamps on either side, making it, in all, 1980 feet long, was a remarkable engineering feat. The total weight of wrought and cast iron used was more than 1000 tons. When completed the bridge carried road and rail traffic. In 1925 the present railway bridge was opened and the original bridge reverted to road traffic only.  The original arches have been raised because of the transports damaging them with high loads.

Pedestrian traffic is carried on two external walkways.  One on each side of the roadway. The upstream walkway is more interesting to geocachers.
