ADVANCED WARNING:
Commencing in April 2026, we will start to archive many of our caches as the maintenance load is becoming a major concern as our capacity to make regular visits to our caches declines. The date has been chosen so that, apart from unforeseen circumstances, all of caches will be available to those visiting Tasmania for the Tassie Event in early March 2026. We are giving advanced notice so that all have the opportunity to look for any of our remaining caches before they are archived. This is one of the caches that will be archived.
From its source to its mouth, the Mersey River flows through varied topography, rich agricultural land and many interesting centres of population. The Meandering the Mersey (MTM) series will follow, as much as practical, the course of the Mersey River with caches being placed at varying intervals. We trust you will enjoy the area.
Union Bridge was yet another wooden structure across the Mersey River. It too succumbed to the floods of June 2016 and has now been replaced by a reinforced concrete bridge which was completed late in 2017. Union Bridge Road is a very populat link between Sheffield and Mole Creek.
Unions Bridge is a pretty spot on the Mersey River and is another very popular spot for trout fishing. There is a good sized carpark and stiles to enable fishers to negotiate farm fences. If you use these stiles, take particular notice of the signs for conditions of access.
The cache is a 200mL Sistema with limited room for swaps.
