New Coco Creek Bridge
A simple traditional cache that is placed as an added incentive for you to venture down into the beautiful Capertee Valley. The cache’s hiding spot should be easy to find but you will need a little time to enjoy the location! Coming from Capertee itself, there's a spot for you to pull off the road before you cross the bridge. Although not a busy road, please listen and look out for vehicles as they tend to travel very quickly through this area. Please bring a pen/pencil to sign the log just in case the pencil is broken or missing. Also, I think it is best to leave the geo-kids in the car for this one! Enjoy!

Lithgow City Council has opened a new two-lane concrete bridge, crossing Coco Creek on Glen Davis Road, to all traffic.
Coco Creek bridge is the third and last bridge on Glen Davis Road to be replaced as part of a program to increase safety and fire resistance of the road’s creek crossings. Bridges at the Airly and Crown Creek crossings were completed during the second half of 2022.
"The Council received funding through the NSW Government’s Fixing Country Bridges Program to undertake the replacement of these bridges", said Lithgow City Council’s Mayor, Councillor Maree Statham. "The widened design will improve safety, while the reinforced concrete construction will dramatically reduce maintenance costs in the years ahead".
"The new structures also include footpaths which give the many birdwatchers that visit the valley a safe place to observe the region’s unique bird life." continued Mayor Statham.
The Council acknowledged the patience of residents while these bridge works have been carried out over the past year and thanked the NSW Government for their commitment to replacing timber bridges across NSW.
