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.

Disabled until I can visit

This urgently needs to be checked by the owner as we have joined the list of DNFs.
Glad we were travelling through and didn't come here just for this one.
.

It was a no find for us today as well.

Needs Maintenance this cache needs to be archived. Does NOT exist.

!

Not for us today not in any obvoius spots

Not in any of the obvious spots. Spent quite a long time looking between muggle visits. Difficult to search in some places without getting wet from the spray from the fountain. Thanks.

Tried one night on our way through to Uluru.

couldn't find anything here. two of the !@#$% seemed to be fallen over...

couldn't find

Tftc

Yayy!!! After 2 attempts back in January which were fruitless efforts, we were super keen to put a smiley on this one!! So, on this quick one day visit to see Old Grannie in Pinnaroo Hospital, we stopped to have lunch in the park. GeoSon had goods in hand in a matter of seconds!!!! Glad this cache has been fixed up! A fave from us!! TFTC!!

Found on way to Explore SA. Lovely little town. TFTC

After eleven immensely enjoyable days in South Australia, we are headed towards home, via a couple of Events in Central Victoria. With the paperwork done we contemplated whether there could be a connection between this fountain and people we know in Bendigo who have the same surname.

ACTchil and I were travelling back from the fantastic OZ Mega Event 2014 in Murray Bridge and thought we would grab the few caches we didn't get on the way and this was one of them. tftc

Pinaroo is a great little town with some great buildings - like the pub

Found with Gonefishen07 after spending a fun filled few days at the Mega Event. Like all good things they have to come to and end and it is now time to head for home. This is one of the caches that we found along the way. Thanks for taking the time to place this cache and show us this point of interest. TFTC

It is very busy caching today, there is a queue!

Thanks for the hunt!

Cheers
The Odlids

Found with Calypso62 after our mighty Murray Bridge Oz Mega experience. We really enjoyed the great fun and fantastic camaraderie of the Mega and finding this cache really added to our overall enjoyment. Thanks so much for placing this hide.

Found with Zobo04 sadly all good things must come to an end and after such a fun few days in Murray Bridge it is now time to head towards home via Swan Hill and I am trying to fill in a couple more maps on the UBD Challenge. Lucky we didnt get wet as it wasn't going Baby and Mrs Gopher whom we caught up with watched on as they had found this one TFTC

Geotooter and I were heading home after a brilliant Oz Mega in Murray Bridge. We stopped here for a comfort break and a cold drink. The wind was blowing the water out of the fountain but luckily, it was blowing in the right direction away from this cache's location. The log was signed and we were on our way again toward our overnight stop in Hay. Thanks Adrian Mc for the hide.

Found on our way home from Oz Mega 2014 with the Odlids.

Mega is all over and found this one while heading home. No problems and all was good.

Many thanks for adding to my weekend of caching fun.....

Heading home to Wodonga today after a massive week at the Oz Mega in Murray Bridge.
The start of the journey is picking of DNFs and caches that I passed on the way over.

A quick find at GZ. Wasn't what I was expecting from the hint.

Found this with the family on way home to Canberra after the Mega Event in SA.

Beautiful little fountain. Thanks for being us here

Found on our way back to Canberra from the 2014 oz mega event. Found with ScruffyBlake, Charli_Bear & Me_to TNLNSL TFTC

A quick find again as yet again The Trio and Odlids were just hunting it out as we arrived. Another quick conversation and we were all on our way. TFTC and the stop

Made my attempt on these caches with J+J.au while attending the OzMega. Now back home and catching up on my logs. C & P log become a necessity, sorry. We had a great time and a big thanks to all the cache owners for providing us with great locations, challenges and loads of fun. SL..TFTC

Located in the dark, Baja15 and I are on our way home from the Mega. Good hide. TFTC

Thanks. Found on a trip with friends.

We stopped here for lunch on the way to the OZ Mega Event. There wasn't much in the way of food in the town, but we did find this cache. It was an easy find. Something that was meant to hide the cache wasn't properly in place, and it was in exposed. We hid the cache back in the same place and made sure it wasn't in direct view. Thanks

#23 of 85 on our trip to Oz Mega 2014 in Murray Bridge.

A nice country town for lunch. The cache was an easy find first. Unfortunately the bakery was empty as they were about to enjoy a four day weekend!?! We made do with what was packed in the car.

TFTC.

Nice easy find on our trip down the Border Track with friends. TFTC

Stopped here for a quick cache and lunch before our last leg to the SA mega. Thanks

Staying overnight at Pinaroo before arriving at the Mega tomorrow. Tftc

After camping last night at the lovely Pink Lake, now we are really on our way to the 3rd Oz Mega. We are stopping for some caches but can't "do" them all. Found this one at 2.05 pm, the last for the day as it turned out. Had to be very, very stealthy, a couple of 'courting' muggles on the grass nearby, though they probably weren't interested in us, a foursome eating lunch at the table, who seemed to be wondering what we were doing. Interesting bit of history, thank you Adrian Mc. TNLNSL

Yesterday I start the long drive to OZ MEGA at Murray Bridge.
I managed to get a few hours sleep at a truck stop before waking up at 02:30 am and not being able to go back to sleep. So I packed the car and started all over again.
I am nearly there......but I can't drive past another cache. A quick find here.
Thanks for the cache.

TFTC,
Got moved to the side for the full inspection and was glad we made use of the disposal bin before. Decided to get a cache to remember the experience before moving on to the Oz Mega 2014.
Visited a group of trackables learning about our great country. Some will leave me at the Event and others will continue with me for a while before finding a new companion.

Found this afternoon on our way to Mega event. Thought this may be difficult but there is always something that dosen't look right and yes there is was. TFTC

Stopped here for a stretch and a cache, found quickly with no muggles about. TFTC

Heading into Loxton today, set up camp beside the mighty Murray River. Its time enough to do a few local caches before we head down the Heroes Trail tomorrow.
We enjoyed our drive around the region
Thanks for placing this cache Adrian Mc

An easy find in a sleepy mallee town with an unusual fountain TFTC Adrian Mc

Sorry I found this one a little while ago and forgot to log it so now I'm having to play catch up with all my logs (well mummy is TFTC Found with Scruffyblake, The S's and Charli_Bear

Quick find with Justjessie on the way over to OzMega via Kangaroo Island. TFTC

Found with O319 on our trip to Kangaroo Island and OZ Mega. TFTC

We are travelling from Wodonga to the Oz Mega. This was an interesting little town to stop and stretch out legs while grabbing a few caches. A large train pulled up while we were finding this little hide. Thanks Adrian Mc for the cache.

Great stop to stretch our legs. Good hide and clue.

Didn't find it!
A number of nice hidey holes,
but no chocolates!
We may have a look next time,
but quite sure this is gone!

On return trip back home, with the same pit-stop to visit Old Grannie. Alas we still were not able to come up with the goods. I am now quite intrigued, and will try again on our next visit in a few months time.

On a road trip with the geofam from Stawell to Adelaide via pinnaroo to visit Old Grannie along the way. As she lives in town, thought this would be the perfect drive by cache, but alas, not a single sign of anything to be found. Will try again on return trip in a few days. Also, one extremely hot day + water spray from fountain = lots of bees!! For future reference!!

[:(!] Over from Perth visiting our geoson (RevolutioSolutio) and his family for a couple of weeks over the festive season, today we left for Griffith to visit another one of our sons and his family, on the way we picked up some caches along the way and this was one of them, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GZ and we walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

Found easily, needs a new container.

Lovely fountain rarely seen these days thanks

Found it, but as has been commented previously - this NEEDS a new logbook (and probably a better hide).

Found at 6:31 PM GAFF1. A tour of the running fountain, getting a bit wet with the splashes and the wind when looking along the east side and then it was found just lying there. The fountain then suddenly stopped as I was trying to sign the log sheet which was totally mush - but with a fantastic Power Tank pen, I was able to place me mark [^]
Left the tin open and the log sheet out of the bag to try and dry it until the owner can do some maintenance.
Thanks Adrian Mc.

needs new log

Easy find in a lovely spot. Found with mile high RnC.
Signed and replaced. TNLN TFTC.

we travelled into Pinaroo with Aussie Fun seakers in our quest to find a few more caches today, Pinaroo is a lovely town
cheap diesel
good food shop
TFTC

Finally!! After waiting out 2 different muggles and pretending to talk on the phone, I tracked this one down.
A nice area for my 1000th SA find, very peaceful place.
Thanks Macca for this cache and all the others that we've found together! See you soon for the next chapter!

so many hidey holes, just keep checking, didnt take too long tho. nice hide. tftc. NEEDS A NEW LOG

On our way home to Canberra after spending a few days in Murray Bridge. The locals had put the sprinklers on the adjacent grass, didn't need to worry too much about getting wet as the wind was blowing the water out of the fountain. Quick grab, TFTC

Stayed at the motel for 4 days to do the conservation parks and had to do this one while we were here.
TFTC TN LN

On our way down the highway we laughed about the previous finder and his umbrella. It looked hilarious. That was until we approached the GZ. Actually, an umbrella would be very handy just now.

A few laps and we made the find.

TFTC

Found by Team Ladava on our run south with our Geocaching sister and brother-in-law, baby&Mrs gopher who we met up with in the Flinders Ranges after their two month trek around the Top End.
Ah the commitment of that baby gopher. The image attached to their log says it all.
Not only were the locals entertained but the three of us were rolling around laughing.

Our thanks to Adrian Mc for the cache and bringing us to this location.

2868. Found by baby&Mrs in company with Team Ladava at 1130 on the Loxton to Ouyen leg of the homeward trip after wandering around the east/north/central Australia jaunt. Well every now and then someone has to give the locals some entertainment. Well today it was baby as you can see by the photo. After all this SL Tnx Adrian Mc

Found on approximately the third attempt. We have been cachers for 3 years & have travelled through here approximately every 6 months & have attempted this almost every time, but due to muggles, rain or lack of time it had been a DNF.
Finally today we had time & made the find. Thanks for the site & the cache.

This cache was found as part of team M-SEZ's amazing 6 week family caravanning holiday adventure! Today we made the nostalgic trip from Hay to Lameroo on our way home to Adelaide. Nostalgic because in January last year our first day of caching ever took place along this very stretch of road! Today however, we managed to clock our 2100th cache!

Well, we needed another pit stop, so here we are. Oh look, there's a cache here! I felt a little dodgy doing laps of the fountain, but got it eventually. TFTC!

Very cold and damp, took awhile being observed by people on the shops TFTC

Found on the first day on a road trip from Adelaide to Canberra for a conference. This took quite some searching and was about to give up but it was there all along after all! Thanks for the cache Adrian Mc!

Lovely town. Great spot to start a 4wd trip along the border track too.

Travelling from queensland with the cache maker, we stopped in town to find a cache or two and have some lunch - really recommend the fish from the bakery, yum yum yum

thanks for the cache Adriam Mc

Nice new shiny cache!! almost had given up then spotted this one.

This was a bit of trail to find particularly with people coming & going & when we did find it, it needed some TLC. Replaced the rusted out container & have left a couple of small sheets of paper as the log needs replacing. A good hide. TFTC

After travelling south bound from Loxton SA to Pinnaroo, stopped here for lunch, a hot pie and chips, and coffee.
Mrs one-eyed and I took some photo's and then found the cache in the nearby park.
We paid a visit to the local museum, took lots of photos of the old farm machinery.
TFTC

maybe its there but all we got was wet!

quick find however the cache is rusting and will require maintenance soon tftf sltnln

I had it all planned out. I would leave Melbourne early to head up to Pinnaroo in SA by myself and collect as many of the caches i could along the Calder. But the weather was against me today. The start of a 5 day Desert 4wd trip with my mates and it rained all the way until we arrived back home yesterday.

We stayed at the Golden Grain hotel just down the road and when everyone was slowly waking up and visiting the bakery to stock up on supplies for the trip. I headed over the road to make this find. Took a few attempts and then the cache was in hand.

The container is badly rusted and a new log sheet is required. I had nothing on me to replace it with sorry.

In town visiting a friend. Made a superficial search while the muffles at a nearby table were looking the other way. Ended the search after they turned around and were joined by other muggles at the neighbouring table. Have searched here on other occasions with same result. Will have to do this one after hours, rather than at lunch time.

MM got a bit wet on this treasure hunt

Easy find but had to dodge bees and wasps,nasty things.TFTC.

Found on the way to Ouyen. Got a little wet finding it because of the wind!

Thanks for the cache looking every where than found wile our way from Loxton to robe

Found on road trip with the family. TFTF

easy find tftc
took pathtag

On our way to Bordertown, from Renmark we're taking a bit of a long way around to grab some caches along the way. Met another cacher there too.

We found this cache at 12:35pm as the final of 4 on route from Melbourne to Berri. We were on orders to be at Berri for lunch so I could only manage to be excused to stop one cache at this particular part of the trip. As we don't normally come this way, we have never found a cache in Pinnaroo until today. Nice fountain and stop of point. Unfortunately the cache container is on it's last legs. Thanks from D, HA, H & A B-A.

Here from Canada, caching our way across Australia...

Had a quick look for this one but there were far too many muggles about to have a really good search so we had to move on...

Thanks anyway!

We stopped @ Pinaroo for a rest break on our journey home from our Murray adventure. While having a wander round the fountain a lovely old gentleman stopped by for a yarn, telling us how the little town of Pinaroo was slowly fading.
I must say the local public toilets here are the cleanest I've seen TFTC

It took a few laps if the fountain trying to look inconspicuous at 6am by letting the dog stretch her legs in the park. She managed to bump her head on one of the rocks in her excitement of following the torch light! The sky was slowly pinking to dawn as we made the find. TFTC.

Found after a couple of laps round the fountain. thx Adrian Mc for the hide

Found on our return from South Australia. We had decided to take the Mallee Highway, a road we had never taken before as well as lots of caches.

No-one around today - I would imagine there are times this one would be very hard to get to.
TFTC

12:52
There were plenty of people in the park, but nobody close enough to muggle us out of the attempt.

The breeze was favourable, so we didn't get too damp looking for this cheeky hide.

Our last find in South Australia during this trip... I wish we had more time, especially being so, so close to the Wandering Heroes. Oh well, we'll be back.

For once, the tables were turned - Mr Frog said it was impossible and I had it in hand before he walked away (doesn't happen very often)
TFTC

tried and no go ,so went to the pie shop and had some late lunch. meanwhile She who must be Obeyed said read the logs so whilst the rain poured did I mention it was freezing, anyways went back and their it was.
Thanks Acko and She who must be obeyed

Found it while enjoying a pie from the local bakery for lunch. Needs a new log....not much space to write. TFTC ...and it's onto mount barker for us

We were getting quite dizzy looking for this one! Eventually found it, good hide!

Love the fountain.

Found with Deenifty as we prepared to cross the border into Mexico (Victoria) to grab a few!!!! Thanks Adrian Mc for the hide!!
