Bridges of Eltham - Main Road Traditional Geocache

Main Road is my fifth Geocache. And part of my series on Eltham Bridges.

In grade 3 I did a school project on the bridges around Eltham.  So I have used this research to start a series of caches in these locations.  After receiving nominations in the 2015 Victorian geocaching awards we thought we had better continue the series.

This pedestrian bridge on the crossing of Main Road over Diamond Creek connects Eltham to Lower ELtham.

Depending on the water flow it looks like a small creek, and sometimes barely flows.  But after nearby rain the water rises and flows quickly, and  then returns to a trickle within a day or 2.  It's hard to imagine but the original bridge was damaged when flooded in 2004 and 2005.  The old concrete buttresses can be seen on the other side of Main Road car bridge. Follow the path to the east of look over the fence to the other bank.

This cache is on the Diamond Creek Trail.  You will need to park out the front of Eltham Lower Park.
