Lanky's Well Beachport, South Australia, Australia
By Team NKJ on 09-Apr-07. Waypoint GC121JH

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.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Did a quick inspection & it has gone.
Bush is way too trampled & needs some regeneration time.
Will replace when a bit better.

Team NKJ

Is it gone ??

Dnfi

If this still here? a lot of dnfs

Couldn't find it

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

didn't find three of us looked

Cld not find spent 30 mins , is it there ?

Couldn't find. With so many dnf's the cache needs to be updated or replaced

Had a decent look. Not there. Even Matt couldn't find it.

Looked under many bushes

3rd person that couldn't find it.
Either has been shifted or a hard find! Had a good 1/2hour looking

Like the previous logger, looked under many bushes, but not luck. However thanx for bringing us to this historic spot.

Stopped in Beachport for lunch on our way to Kingston. After lunch we decided to grab a couple of caches. Did not have a great success rate only 1 found and 2 DNF.
This was a DNF.
Three of us spent a good 15 minutes looking in and under every bush, but could not find it today. Widened the search after reading previous logs but still no luck.
Thanks for bringing us here and the history NKJ.

After my last job at the Medical Centre, now time for a cache or two. Easy find and learned about a little history in the area. TFTC

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

Good 1 for the kids

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

Quick easy one

Took a while replaced where it should be our second attempt

Mark is off, or cache has been moved. Does not match hint. If maintenance checking , look to the Right of the interest point in smaller 'hint'....

TFTC! Hard to find, perhaps hint needs updating (more detailed) or position updated! But great spot, interesting history!

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

Tftm quick find

Searched around for 10 minutes, geohusband went back to the track and found it in 30 seconds.
Took pig left toy story jessie

Beautiful old well thanks for the history lesson. T bracelet L stamp. TFTC

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

TFTC, TN, Left a gift for the kids. Nice easy find after 4WDing with the FJ Cruiser Club.

Great Job!

buzz found it like a pro lol

Found it after a bit of time, took army soldier. Beware of ants and mosquitos. Good GC

Couldn't found this box

Geoson was asleep in the car so Geomum waited while Geodad went to find the cache, a few minutes later Geomum saw Geodad running back to the car. Geodad got 13 metres away from the cache when he saw a big black snake tail go into the bush in front of him so he left it and retreated back to the car!

Found on the 6/9/13. Thanks for the history lesson. Took some time to find.

An interesting location to have a well. Won't have known about it if not for the cache. Nice town, rather scenic! TFTC.

There was a cupcake Munzee here, which we captured, then did the Cache.
The Logbook is over full, had to use the outside back of it. TFTC

Great history tftc. It gets a favourite from me

Very easy. Container was basically on the trail so we put it back under the bush.

A nice, simple find. Intresting read about Lanky before leaving.
TFTC

Troublemakers 1-6

searched high, low and everywhere in between sadly a no show might have to try again next year!

Found on our journey home after a great caching trip to Mt Gambier.

Once again we find ourselves at a place of local historical importance. We love these caches. A fairly quick find for Mr M. TFTC NKJ.

Easy find with the geowife. Wandering around Beachport. TFTC

After reading about this well on the plaque. GeoPartner found the cache. Very disappointed about the use of the log book. Not all the pages have been used and now other people can't write their log in sequence! Stuck our sticker on the back of the book...
TNKN TFTC )

New log book needed!

Day out with the family first cage of the day.

Found Lanky's Well and his story, helped find with muggles Squeak and Shayla.

What a wonderful cache in amongst all the modernity of Beachport
Nice to see that the area around this historic site has been retained as bushland [^]
The well is an interesting place to visit and you get a bonus geocache too
From here I followed the trails almost all the way to Aggie's Patch too [^]

TFTC

A nice easy one to finish the day. TFTC.

Nice easy find. It's a pitty that places like this have to be fenced in. Awesome place. Tftc.

Gayle & Mark

Was surprised at the great condition of the well, quick find today TFTC

Great spot for a cache, needs some maintenance a bit damp inside.

The cache was damp needs a new pad or a good dry out.

Found with team R'n'B great spot love the history easy find tftc tnln

Found with geo sis after reading the information and looking in the well (while tori had a little break on the chair) me and Aaron searched I found because I seen something that looked a bit sus (also removed a bi of rubbish) look high lighter left some lucky stars (5 I think)

Popular container.

# 1844. This is one of the reasons I love caching. Being led to unexpected and hidden gems. This was a great find and I was interested to read its history. We then went on to Lanky's resting place on the way out of town. A favourite from me. Made a quick find here and covered a little better before leaving. TFTC

Walked past this spot several times on summer trips to beachport. TFTC

A quick adventure to a hidden location. Thanks for bringing us here. T 10 cents L flouro pen

I thought this well was furthur out of Beachport township, cache needed a new bag and while I was waiting for Mrs Nicko to return with one from the car I heard voices coming towards me on the path. Had to stick cache under my arm and march out past the muggles, changed bag over and by then they had gone so returned cache to its hiding spot. Took nothing, left a rhino. TFTC

Wet contents!
It's great to hear about local identities.
I approached this from the wrong direction, with scratchy bushes, ducking and climbing required, before I hit an inpenetrable block of bushes. Retraced my steps, wandered down the road a bit, and followed the nice path that has been built for walking in to the well. DOH!
Thanks for bringing me here and telling me about Lanky.

Thanks. We didn't know about this well

Pleasant stroll into this one as the sun set!! Thanks NKJ for the hide!!

Found by B3.

While on a short holiday in the South East, we thought it only fitting to do a few caches.

We had a go at this one a year or so ago while down here, but I don't know why we couldn't find it then?

SL TFTC

Thanks for the easy find.

Ditto last entry, found on a cold and wet day walking around town. TFTC

TFTC! Would never have known about this if it wasn't for geocaching!

Some more interesting history here, thanks NKJ. Cache was a bit exposed but is nicely camo'd.

5th find for the day! Great spot! TFTC

Never knew this well was here. Great day for caching.

Nice walk through the bush to find the well and the cache. Thanks NKJ.

Found 1.55pm
We looked for this one when we were in the area last time some 3 years ago, this time we found the cache in the second place we looked.

TNLNSL
Thanks NKJ

A pleasant short walk to this one. Took us a while to locate as GPS was sending us too far off the track. Thanks for showing us a part we wouldn't have visited or known about.

first cache for the day with fellow cachers daysekers.
took GC Krisi's Gift to visit.
TFTC

Enjoyed the walk and found easily with fellow cacher earthlight.
Cheers

Thanks for bringing us here - we certainly would not have come here without being directed by a cache. Interesting piece of history.

Loved this one. Have an affinity with the Aboriginal people after having lived amongst them for 5 years. Great to see Lanky being acknowledged for the very important work he did. Pity they didn't listen to the trackers more when trying to solve the Azaria Chamberlain case at Ayers Rock. This is one of those spots the average tourist might well miss, how many times do we say that when out geocaching. [^] After having done this cache, we were of course keen to visit Lanky's final resting place. Thanks so much for this great cache - getting a favourite point from us.

Stopped by for a check in on lanky this morning!

We now know a lot more about Lanky.

Woohoo number 100 found with whitey84 TFTC TNLN

Tftc found with jess_jase

Cool, want to know how deep the well is? Did the hard way to get under tree only to find a geo trail other side.

We visited Lanky's Grave on our way through last time, so it was good to find an aspect of Lanky's life. Great well. Thanks NKJ. Took Racing Mouse TB (no sign of the other TB supposed to be here), left a car charm.

Found on a windy Beachport day. Left tb to continue its journey.

We found it! Good hunt! Very well hidden! Took My Little Pony stamp, left smiley face badge!

TFTC TNLN No trackables in cache

Geocaching takes you to historic sites that you would miss in driving around it is good to learn a bit of history of towns you visit. Thanks for the cache.

Nice history. Quick find

Great day for seeking a cache! Took some nail clippers and left a big dice.
Interesting history too.

Awesome! Took dice, left float and extra writing pages as note book was full. TFTC Rob Michelle

Unfortunately did not find today, bit too hot and snakey to be climbing under bushes.....next time!! TFTC
