Ye Olde Watering Hole Naracoorte, South Australia, Australia
By Biggo on 01-Apr-07. Waypoint GC11V8D

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

Due to high levels of water this cache is temporarily out of action will be enabled again soon
Cheers Biggo

Log needs replacing with new plastic bag.

Log was waterlogged. Signed on back cover as best i could. The log is basically ruined. Needs to be replaced. Great Walking trail. Thanks for bringing us here. Tftc.

Very easy. Overgrow weeds. Very water logged. Needs near placing.

Very hard to find while such long grass is around

After spending the weekend doing the Border Track, I had an extra day to grab some caches in the area. TFTC.

Throwing off the effects of this morning's cabin fever we ventured out around town to add a few smiley tokens to our Naracoorte map. A mixture of driving, riding and walking, took us to places of historical interest such as this, all the while surrounded by the scent of the fresh Aussie bush. The cache itself was well concealed by all the new growth, since the rain.

Lid on container is no longer a 'blue lid' and didn't sight the trackables in the cache:

- Gold-E (TB4AQ9A)
- MallorGeo 2008 Geocoin (TB242MM)
- Piplup (TB4AQBZ)

Our thanks to Biggo for placing this cache.

Not the first attempt to try and find this one, it is well hidden. We circled and looked everywhere for almost an hour before finding it TFTC

TFTG were treading on the geo all along!

Checked up on this one while out for Sunday afternoon walk. Still in the same spot, although the bush is looking a bit sorry for itself.

Nice stroll in the park! easily found
Watch out for snakes though

Found it!!

A nice walk with some Aboriginal culture to be seen along the way.

In Naracoorte for the day touring caves and sightseeing. I also took the opportunity to do some caching. With the car parked, I set off on foot to do the Nature Walk series and this cache. Hardly any water in the Olde Hole today. The cache was spotted fairly quickly. Thanks for placing this cache Biggo.

A lovely evening to be out and about in Naracoorte with TT016...as the sun was starting to fade we set out, ensuring we had torches, to collect the 4 caches in this bush land area.
Walking to this cache we passed a new flora area which will be lovely when the plants grow... The waterhole has dried up a bit so the water is stagnant so could do with some rain to cleanse it...The wildlife was starting to emerge from the bush...wallabies, hares & a variety of bird life. A wonderful walk.
The cache was found after an extensive search then it was obvious. TFTC Biggo

took a bit to find.
was supposed to have 3 TBs but there were none.
SL.
off we went to the next cache.
day two of full on geocaching with hevwalker12.

Impatient hunter today

Found while taking the geopooch for a walk this arvo.TFTC

Found it. On the ground

Had trouble finding this one, then read the logs- one in particular gave me the find. Thanks for the hide.

This one took a little bit of digging, I'd run my hand over it a couple of times before I looked closer. Nice little spot, great find

Great scenery! Thanks

Hard find and has most likely been moved over time, Nice to log it, AV cable contained in case

Base of bush near the path in a green plastic box

Could not locate but well worth the walk

Could not locate but well worth the walk

Great place for an afternoon walk! Tftc

Visited a week ago and checked on it again 2 days ago and it was there in the same spot both times. Was checking up as had a joey scout geocache hiking hunt on this evening. But unfortunately today it was not in the same spot. Some very disappointed joey scouts, luckily all the others we went looking for were still there!

Nara Leaders and 9 joey scouts visited this location as part of their Silver Jubilee Adventure Hike. Unfortunately the cache had been moved and although we had 9 excited joeys all hunting, the cache could not be located

Well today it is not much of a waterhole but a muddy puddle. The Gps told us where to look and look we did but to no avail. We looked around and then went back to the start to begin again. All I can say is trust your Gps. SL TFTC

Found it after many attempts, left behind A/V cable.

740th Cache Find Happy Easter Monday We have a full day out caching planned for today. We have been here before but not much luck. Remembering it was such a warm day that we didn't want to go into areas to quickly in case there were any snakes hiding by. No water was below at all. Well today was lots of water & still had trouble locating it. Well about to give up Geomum finally finds. TFTC Sadly no TB's are in the cache.

Yay!

Found again while introducing a new cacher to caching, welcome Babychick80.

Cool found this one this evening. TFTC.
Check out jw.online

Search for ages but couldn't find it

Bir of a search nice stroll. Cheers

Very warm here today... but at least it meant I had the place to myself!! Quickly located ... thanks Biggo for the hide!!

Bit of a search in the 'low stuff' rewarded. TFTC!

Cool spot@

Took a bit of a hunt trying to find this one. Zeus had to take the kids back to the campsite as they were a bit over it by this stage. Hera remained in situ until the GPSr lost satellite reception. Standing up to leave she spied the cache container. Phew! Careful of the broken glass if searching around here - seriously, some people.

Thanks

Found it fast, but no TB ??
Greetings from the netherlands

Easy spot, no tb left

Visited this spot as part of the BLE, as found a few times before knew where to look but No sign of cache. had a good look around and met 2 other catchers who also had no luck.

A DNF for baby&Mrs gopher. We met The Miles 5 Team at the cache here. We had been searching for some time. A friendly face appeared and offered to help. After looking where we thought the container should be the decision was made that cache was gone. Pity as we enjoyed the stroll to the location.

We gave this a thorough search, even went down the FAF road, but still no luck. We will put on our watch list to see if its been muggled.

In Naracoorte for the BLE this weekend. Taking the opportunity to snag a few caches along the way
TB dropped in this one
Trumped us for a while

Well hidden TFTC

In area for BLE2 with partner Genghicat

Love the area

TFTC

In town for the LBE II and did the Nature Walk trail, finding a few caches along the way. Very nice area I have to say.

We ran into KingsQuad on the way and swapped a TB.

TFTC.

We saw lots of geo-trails and poked and prodded in the long grass for a fair while, but we obviously were not as eagle-eyed as the other caching teams today! Good to see that it is actually there even though we couldn't find it.

Twas the end of the day & while there were lots of geo-trails Crane2 & I didn't find it. Good to see others did.

Found with The 2 Wanderers and chooknchunk while in Naracoorte for the BLE. Took a little while to find this one. A pleasant spot on the trail to stop. TFTC

Found this afternoon after arriving in Naracoorte for the TBLE and also booking into hotel.

Found, along with The 2 Wanderers and Misschief18, while in Naracoorte for the Big Little Event. Took a little detour from the new Nature Walk caches to grab this one. Took us a little while as we were careful to gently poke around with sticks first in all the heavy undergrowth, to avoid surprising any sleeping reptile that might lurk there. Thankfully none of those and eventually a cache in hand. TFTC.

Found it. Not too difficult but also not too easy.
Beautiful area for a leisurley stroll with plenty to find.

Found it Found it 09/30/2014
Camped at Mundulla for a few days, today was time to leave. What horrible weather soooo windy.

Damn it we got 4km down the road before we realised we forgot to find the cache 30mts from our front door for the last 3 days. So a uturn with the 'house' on the back and we found the nearest cache.

On arrival at Narracoorte the wind was really lashing and we added extra guy ropes but still werent happy so some more major adjustments and we were ready to cache by 3pm.

So our 'major' list went to the wind and it was to attempt some FTF caches. hmm well we managed 8 I think of 9 attempted or something like that. Nerves area bit shattered as our cat did a 'runner' tonight so things are a bit sketchy here as we are recovering from our firght. Co-ords mostly good.

Yay

Checked up on this cache during a walk. Was in a different spot so replaced to where it is normally found.

Tftc. Cache is a bit damp.

It is a bit hard this is first one so cool no pen ✏️

Hard to spot with all the lush undergrowth, but Patrick and I found it. Signed and took nothing.

This one took quite a while to find with the long grass, waterhole was relatively full of water and our singing cousins were in full chorus TFTC

This is one of our favourite caches. Forgot to take a pen to write in the log book. Left our 1st travel bug to start it's journey. Please help it to travel Australia.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Unhappy going to find some trackables as the cache says there was 11 in it and to find none! Not a happy cacher.

Just catching up on some historic logs, I just connected my GPS to my computer and it told me that I have missed some logs...Headed out here in the hope of finding some trackables but no luck there. Oh well I guess its just another smily for me.

TFTC Guys,
Team Danden are at it again.

Found it after a few minutes. No pen so photo of cache attached (not a spoiler). TFTC!

Out and about with Tassie Trekkers doing the Naracoorte caches as we head to the Oz Mega at Murray Bridge. A quick find but not much water in the water hole. TFTC.

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.

Heading to the OZ Mega with whitewebbs picking up caches on the way. Staying a couple of days in Naracoorte and this was 1 of the caches we found. TFTC

Waterhole doesn't have much water in it at the moment cool little track

Wow. Nice walk. Lots of birds today. Doing the rest of the walking circuit.. Tftc SL.
