Set in a farming community Newbridge developed mainly from the railway arriving and the construction of the Railway Station in November,1876. On opening the station was originally called 'Back Creek'. The name was changed in April 1878 to 'Newbridge' with various explanations as to how the name came about. Perhaps because of the construction of a pedestrian overhead bridge to the railway station. Another idea is owing to the strong Irish presence in the town - perhaps in relationship to Newbridge in Ireland.
To access the cache, you will need to drive into the entrance to the showground and come along the inside of the fence. This is not a fence to be jumped over.
Before you rush out onto stage 3 of The Road Less Travelled, PLEASE note the following: All roads have been picked to be 2wd suitable, IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. Roads/Forests can be closed due to a variety of reasons. If the road/forest is closed, do not drive on/enter it. This is NOT a power trail; this is a touring trail designed to be done at a more relaxed pace over a few days. No need to rush, there are plenty of accommodation options along the way for all budgets from free camping and caravan parks to B&B, hotels or motels in some towns or nearby. Enjoy your journey!
