As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll 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.

Quick find while hopefully no one was watching. Some interesting history on the nearby sign. As I was replacing the cache a cop car drove past - they didn't seem to notice me so I guess that's good!

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 in Mildura but I finally got moving and after arriving in Barmera for the night I decided to walk around town to take in the sights and the caches.
What a magnificent lake shore and in the middle of town. Lucky, lucky, lucky. Quick find.
Thanks for placing this cache gypsycacher

A delicious & leisurely lunch, overlooking the Murray wetland lagoons at Banrock, then it was time for a few more caches on our return trip to Loxton in the Suscoe cachemobile. There was no activity on the water today, but we can imagine a different scene of a weekend.

Thanks to gypsycacher for the hunt.

Suscoe was headed out for a day of caching wandering eventually to the North West of Loxton in the good company of Phetlern. We had enjoyed a special lunch for Mr.S's birthday and we were continuing the wander around the roads.
This was our 69th find of the day.
It was a beaut day with loads of sunshine, a gentle breeze keeping things pleasant and lots of fun.
Cache found and we saw the sign which mentions the Dunk family's involvement with the sailing club.
Thanks to the gypsycacher for showing us this lovely view.

Still leisurely touring South Australia after the Mega

Another beautiful pre-spring day! Big Grin Headed out of camp at Plush's bend to explore and see what Geocaching had to offer in this region.

We managed to find some great historical and scenic spots on our tour today. Including the SA's oldest active Geocache.. Woo Hoo.

Nice hide. Looked in the more obvious spots before making the find.

Thanks to gypsycacher for helping us explore this wonderful area. [^]

Found this one during our month long tour of SE Australia. It is our intention to find as many caches as possible during our stay and as a result logistics dictate that this generic log will have to suffice .Hope the cache owners, to whom we extend our gratitude for their efforts, will all understand the reasons for this.All good wishes from us both.

Working in the Riverland this week at the Berri Hospital SA pathology, After work we booked into our rooms at the Barmera Country Club. The Studio Rooms must have recently been renovated, as they were very nice. So of course had to do some caching after Dinner. Took longer than it should have. TFCT
