I walked past here during my walk around Australia, actually turned off here and took the back road to the 'Boob'.Listened to a lot of the Oils while walking 17,200kms. Had no idea when I walked past it was from Diesel and Dust. Took a photo of another similar old cottage which reminded me of it, on the same day I turned off the road right next to the actual one!Have been wanting to get back all these years.TFTC!

frmen1 and I were in Burra last year but were too tired to make what we thought would be a long drive out to the house. We happened to be driving past on our way to Peterborough and did a u-turn for frmen1 to get some photos for his mates. Checked the geocaching app and a cache appeared! Reliving the 80s and a geocache...bonus! TFTC

Im a massive Oils fan and am currently heading off on tour with my own band. The first time I got a photo here wouldve been in the early 90s heading to Adelaide for Midnight Oils Blue Sky Mine tour. Hadnt realised there was a cache previously so had to get it this time. TFTC

Picked up Detofinbars and headed to Burra for lunch and beers with a mate that I played cricket against over 30 years ago.He's currently on holidays visiting his parents and relatives. Picked him up and he joined us and learned about geocaching, as well as a magnificent, guided tour and history of the Burra area after a great lunch. With little or no internet, we still manage to get a few caches around the town. We also got a few on the way there and home. Overall a fantastic day was had. TFTCQuick find.

Was carried away by the flies before locating this cache in very warm conditions amongst the long grasses. Great to swing by this iconic site though.

This was a must visit destination on Chookster's list, so we popped by on our way out of Burra after a short holiday. Quick find, check. Obligatory photos, check.TFTC The Crapper Crew

Oh yeah! Been wanting to come here for ages that it was quite a Dreamworld for me once here! This was an amazing location made iconic by the photo of the abandoned building for Midnight Oil. Was pretty sure that the Beds Are Burning here at one time that the farmer had to Put Down That Weapon to go put it out. So picturesque and very opposite to an Arctic World but more relatable to Warakurna country. Lots and lots of photos here and a few selfies. The cache was quickly located and I didn't even have to Sell My Soul. The only worry was the possibility of snakes that may bite and give me a Dead Heart. Luck we hadn't seen any today. TNLN. Cheers.
 
03-Sep-23
The three of us were heading home from a few days in Broken Hill. We stopped here for a rest break and a cache.

Mrs Tardis took a photo of the iconic building, while Mr & Teen Tardis found the cache.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache The Crapper Crew.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to The Crapper Crew for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Came to see the building. Saw several consecutive DNFs and decided not to have a look. Long grass, too many DNFs. We'll look another day.
 
22-Dec-21
Nice cache sized hidden spot where the GPS said the cache resides, but no one home.

We came - we saw - we didn't find - but then it was hot and the grass was long and we didn't have the right grab TOTT!!

Thanks to all the COs for some great finds.

Awesome - great to call in while there is green crops.
It’s usually dry dusty and barren when we have been passing through on previous trips Smile
If only these walls could talk and tell us the history.
It's great to be able to travel and see so many quaint little country towns.
As we meander down towards GeoVenture 2020 (in 2021), Millicent, we stopped to put a smiley here.
It's wonderful to explore SA through the eyes of a Geocacher,
especially when it takes us to such interesting places.
We found your cache and with signing duties done and dusted,
we replace the cache as found.
Thanks for sharing this interesting historical location.

# 7 for Mr O's birthday on our road trip back to NT after buying our new camper. Mrs O thought of booking a room for a special night out. Seems it is now private property and longer a place to have a sleepover. TFTC

At last I've been able to drive this road and stop to look for the cache. Gotcha! I bet I'm not the only driver who has the introduction to 'Beds are Burning' playing through their heads as they drive along this road. All good at the cache. Thanks for bringing me here today. SL with my initials. TN. LN. Returned to hidey hole. Just as a matter of interest, the cache container might have changed since it was placed here. It's now a micro rather than a small. Those players looking for a good cache to place a TB might be disappointed. Happy caching!
