Go'n'do - Who Was Francesco Fantin Loveday, South Australia, Australia
By Jardry on 19-Apr-08. Waypoint GC1AP4D

Just spoke to the property owner who wants this cache removed or moved down the road as people are entering his property unlawfully.

Pointless moving the cache down the road as that isn't the location where the internment camp was that this cache was all about.

The cache was on public land when I placed it! I assume it still is, as such it could stay in place.

However as the homeowner is now aware of the cache, I have no option but to archive the cache.

So much for using stealth. Not happy having to archive this cache given that there has been no other cacher that had an issue with the homeowner / or homeowner with a cacher for the seven or so years that the cache was in place.

Spent 25 minutes at GZ. Still nothing, even with the clue.

On a bit of a geotour during what remains of my holidays, MuggleWife is back at work so I'm off to Mildura and Renmark via Bendigo and Swan Hill then back to Melbourne through Pinnaroo, Bordertown and Horsham.
Day 2 of my journey of my journey was almost a false start. I camped overnight in Kings Billabong Wildlive Reserve just out of Mildura and was up bright and early, feed, cleaned and packed up by 7:30 am to hit the road and the ignition went click, click, click. Having walked 2 km to meet the RACV and then into town for a new battery, I'm finally on the road at 10 am.
Couldn't see anything at the GZ but decided to move on without a serious search due to the proximity to the local residence and it being about 5:30 in the afternoon, I feel like a shag on a rock.
Thanks for placing this cache Jardry

I missed so much by just driving past and finding this cache, trying not to be noticed by the locals passiing by [:o]

Only now reading the cache notes do I discover the real story behind why I was lured out here this morning !!
What a bit of wonderful history, that fitted right in with the last bit of history at the last cache

TFTC, and story !!

Found the cache , didn't log it on the booklet because there were a couple of big lizards chilling next to it , will come back on a cooler day!

TFTC !!

Geocache virgins! The kids picked up some sparkle and left a little light!!

It was heaps of fun finding it and whoever placed it last had a great hiding spot.

So much fun finding it there are lots of people that have done it.

First one!

I've already said that I've found it but here's a pic.

yay, first one with Club Jenkins!!! What a cool passtime. Kids walked and found on their own - pretty cool not far from the vineyard Gorican- The Ivanovic residence.

Found it!

Found it, very close to home!

Such nice weather this morning, so decided to extend my stay at Cobdogla an extra day.

Perfect day to grab some caches and shoot for my 500th find.

Second stop this morning, and a quick find after making sure the coast was clear.

Thanks for the great cache!!

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Now camped up at Plush's Bend for a few days it was time to head back towards Barmera to find some caches and explore the area.

Some very interesting history and some awesome scenic spots that Geocaching took us to today. [^]

Tftc, container still needs tlc

Found it, tftc. Container has deteriorated further, with logbook and swaps exposed to the elements. Temporary fix by placing innards into a ziplock bag in container, but cache owner really needs to do some urgent maintenance. Thanks. CrossCobby November 23, 2013 1:45PM

Found it, tftc. CrossCobby November 23, 2013 1:49PM

Needs urgent repair as container is broken and very brittle. There are large holes in the container. Log a little damp and likely to get damper with this rain.

Found it in the rain, good job it was a quick find otherwise I would be going to work really wet. Tftc

Easy find

Yay easy find even when drinking!!

Found with muggle friend
Tftc

Found with (VENOM) when he was still teaching me to cache

Tftc nice fun area

Good find just Funnily enough I knew people living close by so was hoping not to be noticed

The areas you come across in day to day life are certainly that little bit more interesting when you realise what's so close by and yet never knew! TFTC!

Quick find, interesting history.

An interesting History lesson. Quick find.

TFTC Jardry

Realised whilst looking at the map, I did this one a few years ago.
So logging now.

Thanks Jardry for the cache.

Thanks for the interesting history about this cache location. The container has obviously been exposed to the weather for some time and is cracked and in need of replacement. Sorry, we didn't have an appropriate container with us at the time or we'd have swapped it for you. TFTC

Sorry for the late logging we thought all cache finds during this trip had been logged. A quick and easy driveby found by the youngest geokid. Thanks Jardry for the cache.

Found on a days caching whilst staying at Barmera..Interesting area to cache in..TFTC

TNLNSL
Thanks

Was very obvious when we hit the right coordinates. Again, wife and baby in the car, while the 4 year old and I went hunting.

A quick find while driving around and exporing Barmera. TFTC

Quickie as we made our way to the Barmera Country Club for a 4 day Riverland break.
I enjoy local history so loved reading here about poor old Frank. It seems decisions are sometimes short-sighted, especially when we live in our little bubble that is a bit less complex than other parts of the world.
