Lanky's Last Rest Beachport, South Australia, Australia
By Team NKJ on 30-Dec-07. Waypoint GC18791

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.

Please consider archiving this cache as no action by CO has been taken.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I noticed that this cache has been unavailable for an extended period of time without maintenance occuring as set out in the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

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 plan on repairing this cache, please log a reviewer note to the cache (not email) within the next 28 days detailing when it will be replaced, so I don't archive the listing for non-communication. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a reviewer note every month (28 Days) to keep everyone up to date.

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 page and post a 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

Searcher this one but no luck. It has numerous DNFs & not found since January.
Owners needs to check on this one, it appears as if it is missing.

Had a wonderful time exploring the cemetery after we found where it obviously should of been but was not. A very interesting place to stroll around.

Could not find

Think it is gone missing.

Not in the location that it obviously should be

Could not find

Amazing history behind Lanky, fascinating grave.

Fascinating location, Lanky's grave is worth spending some time at. Thanks!

Romped through lots of trees pushed branches around and aside to no avail

Loved this location and the history this cache shares with the Geocaching community, but sadly we were unable to locate this cache today.

Great spot hound loved it here (he likes a good cemetery) TFTC

I too wonder why Lanky is far away from everyone else. Is it because he is aboriginal or because he worked as a Police scout. I fav from us. TFTC

Found it peaceful cache

From Beachport our drive took us on to Millicent, so it was only a short side trip to capture this cache. The bright lid stood out from a distance, so I had no trouble finding this one. Certainly an interesting headstone! Cache #1,731.

26.01.14 found this true Australian on Australia Day

Quick find on the last day of our S.E. Trip. Shame that Lanky was stuck right over in the corner, but I reckon he's actually got the nicest spot! Thanks for the history. TFTC

Came to beach port for years and never knew of this site. TFTC

A nice easy cache. T.F.T.C. and history.

Today we set off for a nice camping trip down the SE and we broke up the drive with a few caches along the way

Apologies for a generic log as we have done so many along the way its hard to remember details of them all

Thanks for the cache NKJ

Miss GG and I were on a camping trip to the SE, and decided to do a few caches on the way.

We had a wonderful trip and the weather was very kind to us.

Sorry for the generic log for most of the caches, sure you can understand that you can't remember them all esp when you are not logging on the go

Thanks for the cache NKJ

good find.T shell,L stamp

would not have known about Lanky if not for geocaching. T dice L lion. TFTC

This was a great cache... more for the nearby history than the hide. Saw the name in town then the face out here. Thanks for the brief insight into local history.

Really enjoyed this one, what a lovely resting place he has

Tftc

Troublemakers 2 & 3

found by the wife while i waited in the car with bubs, took TB to move on, TFTC

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

We are suckers for cemetery caches. It was great to be brought to a place of local historical importance. We were intrigued by the plaque on the gate post as we didn't notice any roses. Weird.

TFTC NKJ.

Easy find. A shame Lanky's grave is away from everyone elses, but then again, all the graves are spread over the whole block. RIP Lanky. TFTC.

Nice bit of history, it's a shame 'Lanky' is tucked away in the corner...

Poor Lanky buried so far from the rest.

I see that we were the second visitors today. TFTC.

Nice spot of history

Hidden spot in the corner of the graveyard, well built memorial quick find as it was exposed TFTC

Found super easy (we laughed at how easy it was) tnln tftc on the way out went and visit some people that we lost to early

Went to visit lanky and pay respects to ones we have lost with my geo sister and her geo man tnln tftc really easy to find

In interesting little monument to a native Police tracker

# 1847. As we had visited Lanky's well I had to also visit Lanky here in his last resting place. Even though it is well away from the other graves it is a pretty impressive monument to him. An easy find for me here and covered well after signing. TFTC

First find on our Beachport caching day. TFTC

RIP Lanky, tnln thanks for the hide

Found on my annual Beachport trip. Geoson found it. Tftc.

Family hunt with Geodad winning

Went straight to this one, log was slightly damp due to torn plastic bag so we swapped the old bag for a new one. TFTC

While leaving flowers on the grave of two wonderful people I remembered there was a cache here. Found by my daughter (her first cache). No pen so I took photo.

There is no pen other than that alls good.

bitmissan easy find pity the trees are covering it if not you may be able to read what is written on it about lanky

A quick find while staying at Beachport. Thanks NKJ for the hide!

We found this a very interesting place. Amazing that Lanky is tucked right back in the corner. I wish the trees would be cut a little so that Lanky was exposed a little more. TFTC!

Driving from Robe to Warrnambool grabbing a few caches along the route.
It is a little sad that Lanky is becoming overgrown. Some judicious pruning of trees will reveal more of his mask and inscription.
We wondered if he had contracted a contagious disease and so was buried away from the main grounds.
Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #7195

Very interesting to learn about Lanky and well worth a cache. Found easily, thanks Team NKJ.

Nice one.

Very interesting spot! Thanks for bringing me here! TFTC

Thanks

Took TB, Great spot for a cache

A nice headstone for Lanky. Left TB.

A good resting place for Lanky, very easy find.

Love this type of cache.
Cemetaries are great spots for caches and history of local area.
took GC Kris's gift to visit.
Caching with dayseekers.
TFTC

enjoyed the history and glad Lanky was not lost forever.
A fitting place to be laid to rest.
Caching with earthlight.
Cheers

Had to come and visit this one after visiting the well and geoteen excited about a cemetary visit (go figure!). TFTC

We actually think Lanky has the best spot in the cemetery - probably just like he would have liked. Peaceful, near the bush, away from the crowds. We are glad that we did Lanky's Well cache first, followed by this one. We enjoyed learing about Lanky's story, was very nice to learn about him and his service to the community, and then to see his final resting place. This is a very interesting cemetery - there are many quite different graves/headstones/plots. Thanks so much for the cache. Took the TB to move on.

Found It!

Took blue spikey toy and replaced with a dolphin toy!

Found this one with Hiluxury tonight.
Put some flowers on Nanas grave for the first time Miss you Nana xox

RIP Lanky!

We've been to Beachport a number of times. Wouldn't have found this place if it this wasn't here. TFTC.

Love this type of cache, We allso ask, why in the back and away from the "regular graves" A very moving story of times long gone. And yes we searched the tree only to stand back and say we are fools becouse its just there but not were we first looked.

interesting question!!!!! great spot!

What an interesting story, and a beautiful resting place. The cache was very sodden, and we couldn't sign the log, so we stamped the inside of the lid!

Dropped in today & replaced the water logged log book.

All is well.

Team NKJ

TFTC :] cache was very water logged. 200th Cache WOO HOO

Thanks for bringing us here, such an interesting story. TFTC

Poor Lanky, very lonely spot. Lovely memorial though. Took nothing, left a frog. Log book is soaked, left some extra pages in another ziplock. Hope they survive till the logbook can be replaced.

Well we certainly know what the locals felt about Lanky, there was no way they were going to let his spirits get near the good lambs of their God.
I'ts a wonder they didn't put him on the ouside of the fence. took dog left red necklace.

He certainly is out there on his own, what a beautiful headstone that has been placed on his grave I guess that it is a fairly recent addition. took one of the Gambor coins and left a holy piece of a Saints body part

Wet log

Thanks, wet log

Thank You too all, as soon as I am near by I will get a new log book & container in place.

Maintenance is required logbook was water logged & container half full of water (lids broken).
