Well,
the cache is now safely back in Adelaide, far away from the OOgle. TB HSV-AL-USA had a quick de orbit burn into the cache. Technically, this TB has visited this cache, as the pic proves.

Retrieved by TeamAstro while visiting our friends in the Anangu lands. There was thankfully no environmental damage in the area. Thanks to Margery and Sue. There certainly are clear skies out here.
Clear skies! John.
I will try and remove this cache for you during the next week. I will log a find if I do and give details.

Despite the original approval last March, geocaches are no longer welcome on the tribal lands. We will ask our friends to physicaly remove the cache when next they are there.

I was horrified again to realise that someone had desecrated this sacred site by making it into a 'geocache'. Not just content to desecrate Ularu, Kata-Juna now suffers the same treatment. Worse still, this was done by someone not even from Australia, who would have little respect for our land and our culture.
This cache was NOT placed on public lands, it is owned by the Anangu and Pitjantjatjara peoples. The cache will be removed at the soonest possible opportunity by the custodians of this land.
How would you like it if some one encouraged people to come walk around your land or your lounge room?
Think of it like this, if you were religious and went to a church, which would be a sacred place for you, how would you feel if suddenly some one put a geocache there which would encourage greater numbers of people to visit your church, disregarding your wishes and customs? These people would be visiting your sacred place, ignoring your requests not to climb up to the top of the spire, and once they reached the top of that spire they'd not bother with the cultural significance of it, but rather they would pull out some electronic device and would log the location as just another place they'd been.
A formal letter of complaint will be written to Groundspeak with regard to both the person who created this geocache and the person who approved it.

At the end of the tourist season it was quiet, so we had lots of time to search for it. Still found it quit easily.

Quite a windy and cool day today! We found the cache with the help of the picture very easily. The box is really "micro-sized"!

After we did the walk of winds walk, this last 300 meters to find the cache was nice. With the provided picture it was a very easy find (bit to easy)
We found this cache after climbing Ayres rock so we were pretty worn out at this point. Rachel found it after we trusted here to guide us with the gps.
After waiting for the bus load of tourists to move on. we set about searching. Rach found it after a few minutes fossicking around.
