Geocache Description:

Note:- 01/02/2026 The cache has been replaced, but as we could not find another container suitable we have moved GZ a little and the page has been adjusted to suit. This is now a short 2 stage multi.
YOU WILL NEED YOUR TREE FISHING POLE.

While visiting relations in Heywood we spotted a wooden work and hoped this may lead to another in our series, instead we found a troubled bridge over waters.
Please bring your own pen.

This bridge is said to be Victoria’s first bridge, originally Major Mitchell constructed a ford here in 1836.
This bridge has since had a few problems as you will see from the information board at the above coordinates.


In order to locate this cache you must read the board dedicated to this troubled little bridge and solve the answers to these clues. This will take you to another Wooden Work where you must answer some simple questions to get you to GZ which is not too far away

A = The LAST number in the years the CRB erected the present bridge.

B = The LAST number of the year that the bridge was destroyed by fire, PLUS 1.

C = The SECOND number in the years the CRB erected the present bridge..

D = The LAST number of the year the first wooden bridge was constructed by Edgar, MINUS 2

E = The THIRD number of the year the first wooden bridge was constructed by Edgar..

S 38°07.ABA E 141°37.CDE


Now off to WP 2 where you will find another Wooden Work, answer the following questions you can move on to GZ.


F = The FIFTH letter of the sculptor's last name.

G = The date under the sculptor's name DIVIDED by 2.

H = Total number of letters in the sculptor's BOTH names.

I = The FIRST letter of the sculptor's FIRST name MINUS 2

J = The FIRST letter of the sculptor's FIRST name.
