Rural Mural Lake View, South Australia, Australia
By Gum-Ako on 25-Jul-08. Waypoint GC1EH44

Today we are on our way to Wudinna grabbing caches along the way, this one was still in my gps so after a bit of research and PAF we soon had the ending, we made our way there and the cache was in the open, cache and contents are still all good. TFTC

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.

Confirming that I haven't forgotten about this cache.
Work is still in progress at the final GZ
If catchers wish to claim a smilie, please make the calculations and email me with a description of your final GZ!
Enjoy!

I have been alerted to some gardening work at GZ and that the cache is missing. I hope to be able to replace the cache when work is completed, but will disable the cache until then.
If you wish to claim the cache in the meanwhile, please email with your GZ calculation and / or description if the GZ location, I will allow a smilie

Found with just a TINY bit of help!

Gotta get low to get in there.! Left a few hand panted eoiden art bitd and a Pencil Case

Easily found once you have the co-ords
Had a nice walk around town might I add

Found It!
Not sure about the number of doors/windows in that building but I must have been close enough. Getting the lid back on is quite hard for some reason...
TFTC

felt a little uneasy retrieving this as the little school kids went about there day very nearby

a nice easy find once all the numbers been put together
thanks gum-ako for the cache
cache is in good order
there was a mobile number left in the logbook possibly from a muggle
i thought i would let you know

Surprisingly quiet in town. Where's the bank. Interesting murals. Actually better say cute unlike the red back spider that has laid its eggs under the container which made me a little hesitant to touch anything other then a scrape away with a stick. Tftc tnln. Off to the Loos again.

thank you to local support for cache maintenance

GZ had been muggled by the local youth, but we rehid accordingly. CO may want to take a look!

75h cache for our trip!

TFTC

Nice hide. Wasn't sure on the mural but navigated right to it. TFTC

We ended up stopping near murals for a quick cuppa.
Thanks

A quick find in a quiet town on a Saturday arvo!! Thanks Gum-Ako for the hide!!

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.

First find for the day... first had coords wrong of course change of one and got it nice quick find in the end.. TFTC Gum-Ako

A great little Multi-cache 300th find. quick find by oldest geodaughter with little geodaughter assisting Tftc Gum-Ako

cache replaced and now back on line.
Thank you to Tk2 for assisting with maintainence

Have received a report today that this cache has been muggled, so I have disabled until I can check it out

A 2 day trip from Adelaide to Pt Augusta and back wwith White Dog Gang collecting over 100 caches.

We travelled over 1000km in 2 days.

We did all the calculations after finding all murals.

We then headed out to GZ but couldn't find the cache. A quick call to the owner but she was busy.

We headed off to more caches. The owner later rang and confirmed we were in the right position. Unfortunately Vodafone and the country are not a good pairing so my connection dropped out while we were having a chat.

About 30 years we stayed in Snowtown for a few weeks and it's always good to have an excuse to call in. I can still remember walking down the main street and the shop owners shoveling the dead mice mice from their shops.

TFTC

Found as part of a two day Northern areas run with Team Waldron.

Claimed after checking with owner.
TFTC

A lovely and relaxing day to do caching around the countryside...worked out the multi then it was found by Mr Bushies2 however the cache, contents and logbook were soggy wet and mouldy so we removed the mouldy contents and added it with a new logbook but left the wet logbook in it for the owner to remove it. Thanks Gum-Ako.

Found cache open to the elements, contents still in container but half full of water leaves and a red back spider, contents very wet and slimey, emptied out the spider leaves and water but unable to dry out in the time we had, will need new bags and log book and the trinkets probably thrown out, have returned the lid and recovered in the meantime

Great murals collected the info on several trips through town, stop revive survive, today was GZ location, found no problems but unable to sign log (see Mtce log) always enjoy local murals, TFTC Gum Ako

Logged with Geohubby Had lots of arguements in the car about the answers but came through in the end. TFTC

found with mrs matmob while out geocaching for the day
tftc

Always enjoy town murals, especially if they have been painted by community members. Not sure if we agreed that the scene we needed for the third mural was the northern one [?] Anyway, we used our commonsense and came up with the correct answer. TFTC

A fairly easy multi to get however, the 2nd mural was a bit confusing- is that really an abandoned building?? Anyhoo, we found it so we were happy! Cheers

Finally grabbed this one after talking to the owner and using the mural and not the building Doh!

TFTC
Cheers and Happy Hunting from Southern Cross Caching

Rural Murals tell great stories
TFTC Gum-Ako

Found on my second visit, on my first attempt (many moons ago) I miscounted somewhere and finished up heading west to a very unlikely spot. Having nobody around at GZ made for a quikc easy find.

Thanks for the cache Gum-Ako.

Love the art work creates some great pride in the towns heritage and is a pleasure to view. Better than adelaide grafitti. TFTCSL Had an icecream while we admired it all

Out with Klems Mob. Took Pencil Sharpeners, Left Erasers.

On a short holiday caching with Briben. Had a great time with this one. The locals have done a wonderful job with this town. Keep up the good work. Left an eraser (because that's what I need whenever I try to draw anything) and took nothing. TFTC

the multi's kept us busy today, the geokids had a great time. Great cache GumAko, thanx for organising it

interesting murals, TFTC

great murals, its not often you get time to stop and admire them. TFTC

It was late in the afternoon, and hot. It took us a few goes to count animals, and decide exactly what your meant.
The other two murals weren't a problem (you sure that is north?)
Did our calcs and were off.
Thanks, Robmc.

A nice set of murals but mural one gave us trouble. Our first set of figures put us on a farm so we recounted and then had a likely spot. Nicely hidden.
Thanks

The second multi we tried after coming into Snowtown, but couldn't get it to work [B)] and went off to do the SWF series.
Tried again after we returned and figured out where we'd gone wrong [8] (we were taking the wording too literally).
Took pad. Left pen holder. SL.
Thanks for the confusion Gum-Ako.

With Katnap1953, Found during the Yorke Peninsular on the way back to Adelaide. Come back and finish off... SL. Thanks Gum-Ako for organising the cache and hunt.

A good hide and some fantastic murals, great multi. TNLN thanks 4 the cache.

Enjoyed having a squiz at the murals that we might otherwise not have taken much notice of, and made an easy find, our last before heading back home after a morning caching in and around Snowtown.

Found after a bit of a mishap in the counting department for mural 1. Light bulb moment when location did not make any sense...backtrack then success

The murals are great. I particularly liked the Fed Shed one. I took the opportunity to read up about the windfarm too while I had the opportunity. Thankyou for organising this multi.
T: Stationery Set (geokid made me). L: Action Man and buggy (sorry not very artistic, although I am sure action man has his artistic moments).
Cheers & TFTC!

one of your questions is for the southern mural of the twin set not northern but otherwise it is a well set up cache

Found on the Keeping Ahead Tour 2009.
Found in the company of Macca on our tour around Snowtown.
Took TB
thanks for the cache

A quick find on a good day to be here searching.

TFTC

[Well, due to my ineptitude and several other factors we won't mention here in case the Wife reads this log, it took us an hour to finally locate this one. I'm sure the locals were thinking that we were a six pack short of a carton the way we were wandering around looking confused.
T - post its
L - stationary kit

Found at 1705. We enjoyed the murals and the little wander around. One of the party was sorely tempted by the smell of hot chips coming from the shop but we moved him on. The cache was well hidden and finding it gave us the opportunity to see a little more of Snowtown. Thank you for the journey.

Left Malt Bus tb.

A great little tour of the town, just a short walk to all 3 murals

A bit confusing counting animals+birds or without birds, you will have to work it out?

Found by Mary & David at 0850. Ah! Yes, we can count! We usually count independently then cross-check our answers, and here we agreed first time. A most enjoyable cache, and some good art work by some talented locals. Our thanks again to Gum-Ako.

parked next to a mural when we came in to town- so how could we resist? TNLN TFTC

It took a while to get all the clues together, with lunch and another cache find in the middle somewhere, but it wasn't a hard find after all that. TFTC.

dropped in World's Greatest Golfer TB - within sight of Snowtown Golf Course

Definately a fun hunt this one. enjoyed the art show & also the big fan blade on display between them!
TNLNSL, Cheers.

One of two DNFs for the day. On reflection, perhaps I should sort out my North from my South (or learn to count). Whatever I did, I didn't do it right. Next time.

Some nice murals around town here. A quick find of the container but you would need to check the hours you tried to find this one due to its location. Weekends would be OK.

Day 246 of non-stop caching.

ANother find in our second C3 (Copper Coast Cachers) day
Liked the murals,
didn't make any swaps today.

Thanks for the cache

Found with C3 (Copper Coast Cachers) on our 2nd combined caching caper.

The local deli did a roaring trade from us today.

TFTC

Found this cache with the C3 (Copper Coast Cachers) group on our 2nd BIG caching day.

Great murals!

Loved the murals.
Spending a lot of time around this town today.
There sure is a wealth of caching round here with great hides.

A quick find just after completing the Windfarm series
I have always liked the paintings in this town
Thanks Gum-Ako

We enjoyed viewing the murals though I must admit we werent sure what to include in the way of animals in the first part. However we worked it out with the help of some of the information in the cache notes and found the cache. Thanks Gum-Ako

Unarchiving cache.

all set to go again after the excitement of the official opening to the Snowtown Wind Farm

glitz in placement

cache is still in pace but listed location close to another GZ. A claim could still be made

A very interesting cache - interesting to learn about the place through the murals - although we had to be told #2 was really #3 and we'd missed one! Drrr - thanks for geofamily help.
Also saw a windturbine blade on display in the town - wow!!! was it big or watt!
Took pencils and left a pencil sharpener.
TFTC

Great artwork that someone had a lot of fun making. Big cache was a nice reward at the end... [^]

Thanx Gum-Ako for pointing out this spot and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Interesting art work... certainly an attraction while driving through. TFTC

Great artwork to see on this one and a easy find at GZ. Left a Paint Brush.

Found it after having afternoon tea in the park near the toilet. Nice Murals.
Took: ball
Left: YOYO
TFTC

Love the murals, fun cache to find, really lets the kids help!!! TFTC. Swapped a paper pad for some glitter glue.

Love the artwork. Great stuff. Quick little cache as we roamed the town looking for food. Huge cache at the end in the obvious spot.

Answered all the questions before having a yummy ice cream and then headed to cache site but could not find.Retrieved two other caches nearby and then rechecked answers and convinced they were right so back to site again.Looked around and about to give up when it was right under my nose. How can two sets of eyes not see the obvious on two looks and then their it was. Took coloured pens and left articic ball. Thanks

Ladybirds found this morning. Had trouble with this to begin with, it's amazing how one digit makes so much difference.
This was a great cache. Took Pencils and Paper Left 10pk Coloured Gel Pens. Signed Log. TFTC Gum-Ako.

Loved the murals. The final loc nearly tripped me up. I had to return after doing another couple of local caches while waiting for all the little muggles to disappear.

Well - came up with 6 potential coordinates for this one - after debating whether birds and/or rodents are considered animals, and whether or not the abandoned building was the structure in the picture, or the one on which the picture was painted, but used logic to choose the most likely gz and was rewarded with a find. Still don't understand the clue - but I see there is another cache with this name - so perhaps they are related.

When we arrived in Snowtown today we were a bit pressed for time, but decided to squeeze in this easy multi-cache anyway. Found all the info easily, but had a slight doubt about the bags of grain which later proved we were correct. Upon arriving at the cache we realised what the hint means . Good to see the murals in this town that is famous for all the wrong reasons. No swaps. Thanks Gum-Ako.

I loved this cache Gum-Ako and really enjoyed collecting all the information from the town murals [^] Mural 2 was definately my favourite of the set-It's fantastic!
I think a few wind turbines should be painted in as a late addition as they are a picture as you approach the town.
Geoson was pretty happy with a 10 goal win against your Catters and 4th best while PG was even happier with 2 FTF's
In appreciation I have left 2 new caches out for you and BAGS to compete overHope you enjoy your new TB TFTC
Logged my FTF GC in and Out of my 62nd FTF TNLNSL Cheers
