The real cache disappeared long ago and the last real find was March 2014 and the only find after that was a angel drop which seems to have gone as well, COs last visit was 10 September 2013 so its time for this to go.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

These damned soursobs at this time of year make searching very difficult. However we are just another in a long series of DNF's, so we weren't terribly surprised to come away empty-handed.
With a long string of dnfs and no visits from the CO, we could not find either! So to help the CO out we placed a replacement at the location where GPSr was having us go.
Replaced the cache for the CO and signed the new log book. Love traveling through this region SL TFTC
Plan A: A weekend to YP with mogni to do some geo-art caching. Of course we just had to stop and break the drive. 
Okay..time to go to Plan B. Cache till lunch, then go and start the geo-art and finish it in the morning. So after lunch in Minlaton. Plan C: Cache around Minlaton, go to our overnight digs in Hardwicke Bay and up early for the geo-art. No luck for us either.

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.

Finally found this one after a few looks before. Gave it a favourite for the effort with the container. Thanks
the first time we went we did not find anything except the wrong tree 
but on the second attempt we found it nice hiding place thanks Ciril

Another easy find as this cache was totally wrecked. Container and contents scattered, left open and very wet. Have put back together and placed in tree hollow but it will need to be updated!!
We (astinger11 & Peevee1) only did 2 caches today due to the heavy rain, would suggest other caches in this area be checked when possible as the same fate may have happened to others by a discontented cacher or muggler !!!

on our way home from Butlers beach, we managed 20 caches on the way home. Minlaton is such a lovely place. TFTC SL
Our last find for today with mile high RnC. A great hide and we loved the cache.
You gain a favourite point from us. Signed and replaced TFTC.

CPwanderer arrived back in Oz from his US adventure and decided that a trip to the Yorke Peninsula was in order. We decided that it would be nice to join him picking up the few that he hadn't already completed. The sun was shining, the snakes were slithering, and the caching was fun. All is right with the world. We ended up with 62 finds without a DNF, and only had to phone a friend once.
CP had found this before and chose to sit in the car and do some research on the next lot of caches. This one had the two M's going for quite some time, until Mr M spotted it. Nice container. TFTC Ciril.

With the promise of fantastic spring weather and a long weekend allowing for an extended caching trip, locus cache, clare007 and I made our way to the central region of the Yorke Peninsula with the aim of cleaning out as many caches as we could. TFTC Mrs Ciril!
What a fantastic couple of days! [^]
Sunday and Monday I enjoyed the company of RideTheGeoWalrus and Clare007 as we cached in an area that I have not cached in before.....therefore I enjoyed what is now a rare concept for me......not having to dodge previously found caches in order to find a cache to locus cache on
We found dust, mud, caches, views, trees and lots of laughs as we drove around and exhausted ourselves doing 115 smileys with 9 DNFs (although we went back later and got finds on several of these DNFs) and one event attended...with only us three there 
It's always good to CITO!
With CO's permissions, we also did quite a bit of cache maintenance as many logs were full or wet or both and several containers were broken or missing.
If any CO whose cache we visited really wants their old log back, then email me and I will try and work out which old log it is and return it to you.
Not sure we would have found this without the help of Clare007 who had previously found it. Coords were off a bit and then it was almost the depths of despair as we reached for the cache.....but like the original 'The Pie' the prize was ours briefly until it slipped from our grasp

On our way to Marion Bay. Arrived in Minlaton and had to find a cache. And we did! TFTC
We trusted that no decent cache hider would place a cache in a spot riddled with nasties, particularly as no warning attributes were attached. So we delved deep & came up with a most amusing cache. Well done on the theme Ciril.
Driving from Adelaide to Minlaton for a family get together. Had a laugh once we found the cache! Great fun! TFTC.
On our way back from Marion Bay and stopped in to grab this one. Some bravery was needed before we signed the log book though. TFTC.
There are a couple of creepy options to reach into here... This one is by far the deepest. Don't ask how we know! TFTC
South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.
Today we were traveling on the Yorke Peninsula, the original destination for this trip for the third day. The night had been very windy and the first rain here for six months, so we were a bit wet. We spent the whole day and went from Pt Victoria to Yorketown. We went via as many of the towns as possible along the way. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.
Thanks.

Grabbed with Albida on our 2 week caching run from Canberra to, and around, different parts of South Australia including Loxton, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Yorke Peninsula and around to Whyalla before heading home via Broken Hill, Cobar and Parkes. We completed a few power trails and left a couple to do when in the area again for next years Mega event.
Overall a great many different styles and types of caches found. A great time was had caching for 16 days straight as well as camping along the way.
Thanks for adding to the fun with this cache.

In the area caching for a few days. Found in the first area I looked at, just not the right tree.
Cheers for the cache Ciril

Found on a day of caching on the York Peninsular.
We saw some marvellous beach scenery, fields of ploughed wheat. The caches were all good & scattered over various types of locations.
Very cute cache have given it a favourite point

What a cute cache. We were reluctant to retrieve at first but steeled ourselves! TFTC Ciril
This is a cleverly put together cache and a welcome find while driving through. TFTC
Awwww. Cute cache. Cute hiding spot. Needed a bit of enlightenment before the little spidermonkey went in for the find. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.
We found this cache as part of our family YP camping trip. Over the 12 days we saw some fantastic scenes and did a heap of cool stuff. This really is a beautiful slice of our country. To top off an already wonderful trip, we also found 145 caches, 6 trackables, 1 pathtag and attended 1 event.
Thanks for the cache!!
Thanks for the cache!!
Short holiday at Pt Rickaby, hoping to fish, but no real boatramp for our boat, so a quick look around for a better ramp, while geocaching. Great hide - a little nervous to retrieve. TFTC
Creepy place would you put your hand in there ??? Quick find.As we were spending a few nights at Wallaroo and catching up with few Cachers at a an Event Held by Dazzatron for us TheKellyGang, thought we would go for a drive to clean up some caches in the area of the YP. Out with a fellow Cacher today as we offered to help do a maintenance run with them. TFTC
This was our 5th of 6 finds today - and we found it at around 15:38.
(So this is our 4152nd total find.)
We didn't see Sarah Brown or "The Pie". We did discover "My Little Pony" sitting on the cache though.
Took: Nothing
Left: Hair Tie
Thanks Ciril for the hunt today.

Discovered on our quick holiday over to the beautiful York Peninsula. TFTC SL We actually came back here to rest for the night.
[:x] Thanks for the cache, found easily on busy Easter weekend by little Geo Jess.
Nice and clever hide just far enought down to be out view. Last time we were here we were muggled out by a very long and fat brown snake. TNTNSL TFTC.
