Flying Pig Whyalla, South Australia, Australia

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.

From http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

{#b3481d8eff25fc63cb70b7e73f0eb5bc}

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

My sources tell me that it is probably gone, since they described the cache and locale in detail.

Spending a few days in Whyalla and found a few cache, or 300!
Had managed to solve all the puzzles before coming over too.
Of the nearly 300 found on the trip over and back from Adelaide, 95% were found within 50km of Whyalla Central, with approx a dozen dnfs also. Amongst all the finds was my 17000th find.
Also managed a lot of 'unloved' finds too.
What is it with Whyalla and mint tins? lol

Thanks

Pig has flown away.
Thanks anyway Affy

not this time

Gave the area a good going over , but could find nothing hanging about or on the ground, on retyurn to the geoute I discovered it had not been found for over 2 years, either needs maintenance or archiving

Since it has not been found since mid 2015 the cache needs checking by the owner

4639 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1140. When we arrived at gz an old sauce bottle was sighted with a piece of paper inside. after some more searching we came across a small black container with the log inside. We SL and placed part of the other piece of paper inside and re-hung the container. Tnx affy

TFTC!

Another great find while in the area on holiday today.
Thanks for setting up this cache.

Soon had the container found and log signed.

It took a few minutes to locate this cache. We saw an object on arrival but dismissed it as another piece of bush rubbish. We went back to it later and saw that it indeed was a pig but one which had suffered greatley from UV and rain - it was a shadow of its former self. Nearby was another container and on investigation, we found the logbook inside. After signing the book, we reassembled the caceh as best we could and placed it in very closeby location. Thanks for the cache affy.

Found by Mary & David, in company with pprass (signed as m & p), at 1650. "If pigs could fly" is an old expression, but this one's flying days are over. It is almost an ex-pig! Our second day on the FTF PT, and we had better results than yesterday. Our thanks to affy.

Found at 4:50 PM in the company of maccamob. We signed the log book as "M & P".
This flying pig is an ex flying pig, it is deceased, it is pushing up daisies
So many company takeovers - indicating that the price is over capitalised.
Thanks affy.

[font=Verdana]21149 caches found

Enjoyed drive the car to see lovely our country aussie. [^] [^]

Thanks for hide the cache for me to found it
Again thanks affy[font=Verdana][^]

Damaged

Needs some looking after found the pig or what's left of the poor little fella which is not much no log to sign

Container needs checking.

Day Seven of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747. Today we played around Point Lowly and Whyalla, grabbing a handful of caches on the way..
Like the plant next door, I doubt this pig will be doing much flying in the near future!
He is in pieces and probably needs a check (log is fine though)
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7689. Robmc and I headed to Point Lowly to have a look at the lighthouse and to collect caches on the way there and on the way back. Like the name of this series on Cuttlefish Drive. Rob explained why the series is Sepia Apama. We also collected a few interspersed with this series.

I am assuming that this was once a flying pig but it has disintegrated beyond all recognition. Log was full so have replaced log. Piggy needs urgent maintenance (unless of course it is supposed to be this way).

Thanks affy

We used this cache as an chance to stop and stretch our legs while driving over to Goolwa. A short walk and we had the cache in hand.The camo is in need of repair and log is full.Thanks for the hide.

We are on our way to the Mega event at Stanthorpe but having left Adelaide we could not resist this diversion to pick up some of the caches around Whyalla. The temperature being in the high thirties we decided to do some of the coastal caches as well as some of the pipeline caches. Nicely done - we enjoyed finding this cache Thanks to affy for placing this cache.

Found it

Found on a geo trip to Whyalla, Port Augusta, Iron Baron, Kimba and other places with The White Dog Gang and Team Waldron. A great few days with lots of interesting caches. TFTC.

On a 3 day caching expedition to Whyall and beyond with Trail06 and The White Dog Gang.

All log books signed TW, T6 and TWDG.

We started in Adelaide went to Whyalla, Pt Lowy and Port Bonython, Iron Knob and Iron Baron, Kimba.

Apologies for the generic logs.

TFTC

A quick find on a drive back to Whyalla from the conservation park. Thanks for the cache. Sorry to say it's the grossest pig I've ever seen.

Went for a short walk looking for this cache, geohubby said there it is and we had a laugh, looking a little worse for wear we signed and replaced him. Get a fav. TFTC

Great idea!!! Kids loved it the log book was full though tftc

Loved the idea for the cache, the kids must get a laugh out if it. A very full log which was hard to write on made it a challenge to log this one.
TFTC

Another stop and some history to the buildings we see as we drive past and a little more understanding of Whyalla's successes TFTC

Our first find for the day as we headed out of town (to sounds of Homer Simpson sing the spider pig song).

TFTC

Beaut sunny arvo in SA, so time to cache!
Quick find, cool cache
TFTC affy

Ttile to this cache made for an easy find
Tftc

Nice one. Found in good condition. A fav from me. TFTC affy.

FOUND WITH TPP AND ON A CACHING WEEKEND WITH SOME OTHER FRIENDS ON OURS

Another sad Australian story

Today, I took time out from my bike ride to find the 'commemorative' cache.
It took a few minutes but I finally spied the cache
Ha, ha, ha !!

Like the industry mentioned in the cache notes, the poor olde cache is 'rusting' away [:o]


TFTC

Found while caching with Jeffrey11, Team Pedal Pushers, Sars12 and Whites on Windsor. TFTC.

TFTC OUT WITH JEFFEDDY, jeffrey11, wow, SARS 12. Great day for caching. Thanks again. So nice to be out in the sunshine on this beautiful long week end.

Found as a part of TheKellyGang, writing this as a genaric log as I was a part of TheKellyGang and am now out on my own.
If you do not agree with this you are more than welcome to delete the log.

We stopped to grab some caches as on the way to Cleve for long weekend event Creepy Caching event, having a nice drive over, looking forward to the weekend to meet some more caching families we may not have met yet. So pigs do fly yes easy find for GeadadTFTC

Day 4 of our Whyalla trip
Went out today to do the August series and to finish off the FTF series that we didn't completed yesterday we also picked up some of the local caches nearby .We found a good variety of containers with some hide being easy but others very tricky .We ended up with 74 finds and a few DNFs for the day . TFTC .

Need to change out the log book as it's full .

Found this one on my roadtrip through Australia while exloring Whyalla & surrounds. Took me a little to find this one, don't know why, cause it's obvious. Log sheet should be replaced. A fun cache.

Thanks for making me smile &
greetings from Germany

[Blue]# 9654 Found on the SA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
Today was more of the FTF trail, the August trail and others while at Whyalla for a few days.
Not many muggles around and not many cachers here lately either.
Most co-ords were good which made them quicker to find.
The log sheet is very full, but I found a spot to log it.
Thanks for the cache affy,
[Red]Roostaman[/Red].

Camped at Whyalla, on our 2nd trip around Australia.
Decided to do the August power trail today, and picked a few others in the area.
Arrived at GZ, to find a very amusing cache container.
Many thanks for the hunt today, affy.

This was our 8th cache find in a caching run of 23 Finds & 2 DNFs today.
We found it at 11:40 so this now makes our total find count 8251.

We have finished out Grey Nomad tour of Western Australia and are staying in Whyalla for awhile before heading off to Murray Bridge to attend the "[url=http://coord.info/GC3X0X4]Oz Mega 2014 Murray Bridge[/Url]" over Easter.
Today was another relaxing day caching around town, and a nice quick find today.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks affy for the hunt today.

I just saw proof that pigs can fly!

Thanks for proving me right!

Oink oink. Nice find but log is full. TNLN.TFTC

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."

Another part of the industry gone forever - but hey, that's progress [xx(].
TNLNSL.
Thanks Affy.

This one is cool, its nice when you find something different to brighten up your day. TFTC

Spy Gecko Is a team made up of spyjordy and Purple Gecko for the scouts geocaching competition. Thank you for placing caches that assist us during this competition. Tftc sl.
Sorry if our photos dont quite match up, they are needed for the competition but im not sure the caches are still in the same order as we found them after going in to GSAK

Loved the container - it was funny.

Thanks affy from ELM14

Very cute!! Thanks affy for the hide!!

Found this flying pig on the way into Whyalla from Adelaide Hills. TFTC affy.

found the cute little fellow. tftc

In Whyalla for the day for work and heading back to PT Augusta for the night.
Quick dash and sign on the trip back.
Loved the cache and the way it fitted with nearby signage.

South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.

This is the beginning of the journey home, we really only had half a day caching before the driving began to take over. We drove from Whyalla to Peterborough doing what caches we could as we went. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.

Thanks.

Albida

Grabbed with Albida on our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.

Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way.

Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.

Our 2nd day of caching in the Whyalla Region.
Would like to have had more time to explore this area.
Thanks affy, who said pigs can't fly.
A favourite point given

I did not believe it when I saw this but loved it. This gets a favourite from us as it made us laugh. SL TFTC

It wasnt just Pig that were flying round our heads at this cache! Got out of there pretty quickly when we saw the big claws flying around. Left the pig safe and sound though. Found with Frankos 4 and Midgee 23

Well we certainly think pigs might fly. A quick driveby on this one to stretch the legs. As we were signing the log a couple of eagles/kestrels/hawks (whatever they were) were fighting one was squawking its head off as the other pinched its baby chick & flew off quite sad to witness. TFTC.

Found it together with Team Autoværn on our journey in Australia.

DK

Find it together with Moselund United, on our trip in Aussie

I always enjoy a quick drive by.

TFTC

Nice cache, will have to take our bugs with us though. Tftc will look for more of your caches to see what else you have done thanks

Was going to place a couple of tb but the space was not available. Good hide though TFTC

Charlie really wanted to do this one and he wasn't disappointed.

Thanks for the cache.

Gotcha !!! Who said pigs don't fly ? TFTC

Yakcm had dropped us back at the caravan park after a very pleasant few hours caching with plans to meet again this evening with moneydork to do a night cache. To fill in the time while we were waiting for it to get dark we decided to look for some more caches. We enjoyed reading the history on the cache page and it seems a shame that all that infrastructure put into place looks like it's just going to fall into disrepair. As for the cache the GPSr had us in the wrong location when we first started searching but once it settled it was soon pointing directly at the hide which seemed very fitting and we signed the log with a smile on our face.
Thanks affy for the cache, a favourite from us.

nice one
Didnt expect that!
TFTC

Had to bring own pen. Excellent cache. Well done tftc

Introducing our youth group to geocaching. First one done!

Found it tonight on our way home from doing 'Who Framed It' night cache. Dad thought we would like this so he pulled over on our way home and took us to it. We do like the container, but it seems like the pen has gone missing. TFTC.

Cool Cache. Great one for the kiddies.

Great fun. TFTC! )

A quick find and last cache for the day, TFTHSL

What on earth did this poor piggy do to have a pencil there. Thanks, but I brought my own. And tftc.

Pigs might fly. Especially if they are pink.

Told you they do. People keep saying it to me.

Thanks to affy and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Great Container. Felt odd getting the pencil. lol. Poor piggy.
TFTC.

A great container! We found straight away and yep was a little unsure he likes us using the writing stick! lol. TFTC

Wonderful cache, nearly missed it for not looking, and bang there it was.
Nice spot as well, must have driven passed here a thousand times not knowing.
Used own pen, just in case it would hurt.
TFTH, affy.

This is a nice shady spot I hadn't seen before. Kev was standing right next to the cache and didnt see it at all..unbelievable! I must mention the pencil holder....Hmm!

Nice spot for a cache, love the Paperbark tree and the cache
