Peterborough or Petersburg? Peterborough, South Australia, Australia
By howie_sf on 10-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1KKBF

I am attempting to get in contact with the CO to either adopt or formulate a community maintenance plan for this geocache.

As there has been no CO response to the last request to attend to this cache, the cache is being Archived on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained here: [Unarchive a geocache](http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

If you wish to contact me please send an email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote the cache name and GC number.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
This cache is carrying one or more logs which suggest some attention by the cache owner is needed.

The guidelines advise that the CO should make regular visits to check on the cache as well as promptly address any logs that indicate that the cache requires some attention. If you can not attend to the issue promptly, then you need to Disable the cache - I have disabled it this time.

Please respond to this situation (or indicated your intentions including a date) by **20th July**, otherwise it will be necessary to withdraw the cache from the Active listing.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable ](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Hi there Reviewer,

RE: The cache "Peterborough or Petersburg?"

I'm following up on my "Needs Maintenance" log which is now well over 28 days old.
There has been no action by the CO. The cache appears to have been abandoned and perhaps needs to go.

Regards

Ian & Penny

DNF Log as requested by Reviewer.

Hi there howie_sf,

RE: Your cache **"Peterborough or Petersburg?"**

We looked for your cache today, but as there's so many DNf's here already we didn't see any point in adding another.
Could you please do a maintenance run to confirm if it is still there - - and perhaps replace (or archive) it if it isn't.

Regards

Ian & Penny

We searched for a while without luck until a local gent came by with a walker and we had a very interesting chat about the history of Peterborough. Unfortunately we didn't find but had an interesting conversation as compensation.

Had a good search but turned up empty handed. Hard to believe there have been only 1 DNF's with so many cachers been in the area. Needs a check from CO.

Stolen please contact crime stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information

Having completed an audit against my finds and those of The Wackys, now logging those that I have missed. Many caches over a number of years. These days I actually keep up.

Thanks for thecache.

Found with Robtas and/or The Wackys

Cached

being tall still didn't help this time
TFTC

Didn't find it ,gave up, too hard

DNF too hard

Another train, even though small, and another very brief look.

Found with Dennisc52. Made us work for it . TFTC

Not that hard after all. Loopy1972 and I found relatively quickly. TFTC.

Thay was a bugger to find. Tftc

What an awesome hide. Took a little bit but got it in the end. TFTC

Very tricky find but fun finding it!

Found it

Out and about today, with the geovan parked up opposite the rail museum. Last night, we did the light and sound show at the museum, this morning, did the tour, then went for a drive to find an abandoned tunnel, a sports ground, a welcome sign, a dog, a man called greg and some gold.

We left the sports ground and the cemetery, and were followed by a very slow freight train heading towards Adelaide. Thought that if we stop for this cache, we would not get to watch it go through town. BUT, we were wrong, we found the sneaky little hide, back in the geo van to go into town to see Bob, and the train was still coming up the rail.
Thanks Howie sf

Very impressive model!! Cache quickly found!!

Ran out of time before the kids got grumpy!

Hard one. Thanks

Quick find with Justjessie. TFTC

Found with O319. TFTC!

This one tested us out a bit - just as well the husband has long legs (and good eyesight). Awesome hiding job! TFTC

Thankyou

On the way up to the Peterborough for a caching weekend with the SnappyomCats and we stopped to grab this one.

Up from the Barossa for the weekend with the travellinbees for a fun weekend of caching. After settling in at the Motel we headed out to do a few before dinner. This one was a tricky little one and took us a lot longer than it should have. We got there in the end though. Love the accordian log! TFTC

West Australia 2016 trip. Day 3. With two long days of driving done today was the drive from Burra to Wudinna including Orooroo, Pt Augusta and Kimba. I have lost coun of how many times I have not found this one. Mostly due to muggles, but I have had good looks. Today I was getting worried it would beat me again, especially as the neighbor had stayed inside today. Then with a rush I saw what was needed. I am very happy about getting this one.

Thanks.

After I had attended a very early event this morning, The Bee's Morning Buzz, muggle partner and I headed out with SABERS motorbike club to ride to Peterborough.
All up, we did over 400kms today in lovely 'cooler than normal lately' weather and during the lunch break at Peterborough, I managed to find 3 geocaches

Thankfully a quick find as trains can often take forever
Interesting to read about this artwork, too [^]

Starting to not like trains. Geohubby thought something didn't look right & there it was! TFTC cheers

a quick find on way home from Willangi Escapes 4WD camping Weekend. Surprised myself how easy it was after reading past posts. TFTC

Found one on a train!

Found it bit tricky

Despite the long gap since last being found I had a good feel about finding this one so I kept looking and looking and looking. Not keen to put my hand at the rear end of the train as there were many redbacks showing up in my torch light. Luckily I was away from the redbacks. Keep looking and you will find. Thanks, gave it a favourite as it was across the road from where I was staying.

I was making my way to Broken Hill and passed through here.

This one took me a few minutes of searching before the prize was spotted. A very cute cache with an amazing logbook for its size.

TFTC howie sf!

Disappointed as we have not found any of the caches that train related.

Great hide .... Took a while but determined to find it. TFTC

Tftc found with polkys quest

Found with auzzie convict tftc

A good find on the way out of town.
Thanks for the cache

found it.
TFTC

What a great little hide at a lovely entrance to the town, and what an excellent log book for a small space. Lots of room for lots of logs

Many thanks for this nice hide howie sf[^]

Travelling to Stanthorpe for the mega event via Orroroo, Peterborough, Broken Hill, Cobar, Lightning Ridge. Great to find this well hidden cache and showing us more of the area. Thanks to howie_sf.

Very pleased to find this one after the last few logs. Almost gave it a miss, but it's such a great spot, plus what a buzz it would be to find it after a couple of DNFs. Was lucky enough to spot it almost immediately. Love the logbook, only the second one of those I have seen. A great little cache in an excellent location! Cache #2102.

Too good for us! Maybe if we had more time and height!

We couldn't find it. Must have been cache blindness. 2 pairs of eyes but no luck.

Could someone please check that this one hasn't been taken. Have been down there for hours looking with no luck

Think it may be missing

I used to live in Peterborough in the ... oh a long time ago, and we spent some time trying to find the shop my parents owned.
This cache also took a bit of a look, and some careful searching due to the wish to not disturb the resident spiders with lovely red stripes but we had it in hand just before we were about to pull the pin. Cheers. MODU

As soon as we drove up we thought this was gonna be hard to find!!! But we just happened to look in the right place within one minute and there it was!!! TFTC

We gave this a good search before reluctantly giving up. Please tell me it is not the Munzee which is there! Ah well it was worth the visit anyway.

No good today!

A great hiding spot for a cache.
Thanks.

Easy cache to hide and hard to find, but I did.

Before leaving our overnight stay in Peterborough SA , we decided to try for a couple of caches , so Mrs one-eyed asked to try for this one as she wanted more photos.
After some thought between both of us, she accidently touched the cache , I find some cache hides a little difficult due to my restricted vision so any help here is most appreciated.
TFTC

Last cache for the day... Loved it - good hide spot. Signed the log. Thanks Howie sf.

Found it! It's gotten wet though?? TFTC

Tried this once before with no luck. Success today. RFTC

TFTC not in the train?????

Gee that was a tricky one. TFTC.

Found during another fun caching/4WDing weekend with TWDG and the Parrots near Peterborough. Track exploration done for the day, it was time to explore the town instead. I don't know what the others were doing while I played on the train, but once I got down it was an easy find. TFTC

Well this was quitters luck. We searched for 20 mins, and then just as we all walked away A found it.

I reckon we would have found it sooner if she hadn't spent so much time playing on the train!

Found on our Willangi Bush Escape weekend. Great scenery. good 4wd tracks & the 'best of' company.

TFTC,
Day 15 of our 7 week outback adventure.
Credit goes to nana nel for this find.
Visited a group of trackables looking to experience the Outback and visit the 2 million Cache.

Found on way into the Town Hall for a luncheon prepared by the Lions Club for the Riley Club. A quick find when you look it does stand out. TFTC

So far looked in 3 trains and only found this one. Going back without Geo Jen for a better look on the others.

After previous failures today with micro's we were hoping that this one would be a find. Beautifully crafted train models all around the town, this being one of them. took a little searching but soon had the cache in hand. Took a couple of snaps of the geodad at the site. TFTC!!!!

After a good night's sleep in a motel nearby, we took a walk to this nice little train. We poked about a bit with not much luck and decided we'd better move on so we didn't get the locals too suspicious

Found It!
I hope ciril doesn't know about this town. Him and his nanos would have a field day here...
TFTC

TFTC The little trains are amazing.

Took longer than expected to locate.
Found wirth the x-trailers.
Took trackables to visit.

Found 3:09pm , find # 1455
Today was day two of our holiday from Melbourne to the Flinders Ranges.
The route today was from Barmera to Rawnsley Park Station just south of Wilpena Pound, where we are staying for thee nights.
The weather was fine but cool and cloudy, pefect for caching really. We stopped for lunch at Burra and arrived at Rawnsley Park just on sunset. Now comes my task of writing up todays 21 finds.
This one was find number 15.
The log was a bit damp but should be ok when it gets a bit warmer.
Thanks howie_sf,

Peterborough or Petersburg it made no difference we found the cache. These signs with the trains mounted are very good and reflect the importance the railways played in the history of the area. Thanks howie sf for the cache.
