Since it has been muggled again and again, and people don't seem to be able to read listings and go looking for it, I have decided to save them from themselves and archive it.

Hopefully I will find time to put out a muggle proof one sometime in the future

7 months of DNF's, 2 months of waiting for a fix. Visitors to our region would rather be hunting caches that are actually there.

Seems this one has suffered from the attentions of the local muggle population, apologies to all who tried to find it before it was taken offline.

We will endevour to get out and check it, and replace it ASAP.

Too many DNF... Just wonder will active again?? Thanks.

The experts have searched in vain, but I thought I'd go and have a look anyway. It's a bit disappointing not to get a response concerning the status of this.

Add us to the list of DNFs. Perhaps it's time to check up on the cache? An interesting area to explore though.

Had no luck finding this one after a 20 min search.

This was a great spot for a cache and we really enjoyed the walk out to gz, the only downside was that we were unable to locate a cache. We searched the most likely area and then broadened our search in cast the GPSr was trying to trick us but unfortunately came up empty handed, we hope the cache is still there and it was just us having a bad day

I too, had no luck with this one. Tried twice over two days but all I could find were a couple of sleepy lizards basking in the sun

Found with polkys quest

Found as part of Angel_bubi's and myself's "coloring in the yorke cache raid"! TFTC

The day was heating up by the time we walked around to this one. After this one (#19) it was time for some lunch!

Thanks for the cache .

Interesting stroll around the place. Just as I was leaving with the Dr, a heap of teen girls were entering the area. Must be good mobile reception there of something[?]

spent some time trying to "act like a miner" but guess we will never make any valuable finds. Will try again. hate to be beaten. TFTC

awww man, another 'big' easy sounding cache that we missed!!!! aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!

I'm still alive, so I guess it wasn't a lethal dose. I've not heard the arsenic explanation before, just copper.

Found at 9:45.
Nice sparkly rocks in this area. Someone has since told me not to touch the green ones due to arsenic content. I don't know how true that is, I would have thought it is the copper that makes it green. Besides, I didn't touch them, only Alex did, so it's a moot point.
Nice sized cache in a lunar landscape.

Early morning stop off to get this one, and we were on our way again. TFTC

Very interesting area. The cache was quickly found but there is plenty more to keep you interested.

ROCKY GLEN GROMMETS HAD TO BACK TRACK TO DO THIS ONE BUT WERE REWARDED WITH A QUICK FIND. lEFT A tELETUBBY AND A FROG, TOOK BOOMERANG.

20.12.09 2.15pm Team:A
Find 14 of our Yorkies expedition
A find in very sparkly area, decent sized hide too, pitty we did not have anything worthy to leave, even forgot to bring a tag along for this one.

29 of 52 on a trip to Cu /.

Kadina appeared to finally be providing the goods, with another well done cache in a great area. Found among a few spots of rain of all things. TFTC

A great size cache, that was found fairly easily in the end. Interesting to note that someone had found it with their trusty dog whilst wondering around the area

Interesting to wonder around and see all the old ruins

Thanks for bringing us here

Nice afternoon walk with the dogs, across the road from our cottage!

I had to double back as I left the GPS on the mantle piece.[:o)] Lots of what looked like galena in the rocks here. Very shiny.

Clear skies and our thanx to Delta Echo for this spot. [^]

We really enjoyed walking through this very interesting area. GPS took us directly to GZ. TNLN

Love exploring this area - thanks for the great hide

An interesting place that I never knew existed. The clue was helpful as I probably wouldn't gone down the hole without it! One of the better spots we found while caching in Kadina. TFTC.

I’m pretty sure this cache wasn’t up when we were last here and so we had never ventured over to this bit of the diggings. It’s a real shame they can’t put up a few interpretive signs to explain what all the buildings and stuff are. Enjoyed exploring it all anyway, and found a cache too! . Nice cache and thanks for showing us this place DE. Cheers .

Interesting spot and a nice big cache. TNLN. thanks DeltaEcho

This is my 500th cache and I am pleased to do it home in the copper triangle where the history of this area has always been an interest to me. Took an angel and left a dog. I think my guardian angel was with me today because I only expected to get about six and this is number 14 for the day. Thank yopu for another walk through history.

This was the best cache for the day.
We acted like miners and went down a hole.
Took: car
Left: pig

Found as the sun was setting and the mossies were biting Ouch! TNLNSL Another interesting spot - amzing that the public can drive through here. Thanks Delta

Enjoyed this interesting spot. The last of our Kadina caches - it's about time we got to Wallaroo - only took us 81/2 hours from Eudunda!! Took a wombat and camping towel, left a car cup holder and AP notebook. Didn't see the TB. TFTC

enjoyed this cache
enjoyed it even more when I realised, YAH!! 200 finally
TFTC

This was a great location, I loved this spot! Thanks DeltaEcho!

Looking forward to searching for more in this area soooooon!!!

Found by Barry and Beryl at 2.35 pm A good container and an easy find. Took Gel Pens and Yellow sticky notes Left Green Gum Leaf TB also left a gold wombat and orange Map of Australia Key Ring.
Thanks for the cache Delta Echo

Thanks guys TNLNSL
Shall go back and leave something next time I am going past

My second FTF. Finale a advantage to working the night shift on weekends because no one else would be silly enough to be out of bed at 7:30am on a Sunday morning. Took FTF Patch Left 50cent piece (I know that sucks as a swap might make another trip tomorrow as I forgot my swaps today). TFTC

Very interesting area, pity some areas out here become dumping grounds. We were pleased with the choice of container used for this cache, won't have to repair or replace this one in a hurry! No swaps, picked up coin to move on.

Thanks DeltaEcho.
