Geocache Description:


Welcome to the River Road Bridge one of the largest bridges of its type in the area. River Road Bridge was constructed in the summer of 1949 and 1948 and took about three months to complete and the man in charge of construction, Bill Raper, also happened to be my uncle. The bridge is 150 metres long just over 3 metres wide and about 8 metres tall at its deepest point. The bridge;s contruction is thought to have extended the life of Pembertons timber mills by about 30 years as it provided more access to the Karri and Jarrah present in the area. The last logging train to pass over this bridge was in 1964 and the steam locomotive is now located on display on the main street of Pemberton. The bridge is now only useable by walkers and cyclists and serves as the way that the Bibbulmun walk track and Muddi Bindi bike trail cross the warren river. At certain times of the year large parts of the area below the bridge is covered in water as the warren river bursts in banks in the winter months. This cache is a black tube with plenty of space for swapables and trackables as well as a pen.
