As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll 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.
 
This cache has been temporarily disabled due to a recent fire in the area. An extensive area of ForestrySA plantation and native forest was burned, leaving many trees unstable and presenting a potential risk to public safety. For safety reasons, visitors should keep clear of all areas while ForestrySA works to ascertain the exact extent of the damage. Areas will reopen as safety permits. See updates at [url=https://www.forestrysa.com.au/News/Media-Releases]https://www.forestrysa.com.au/News/Media-Releases[/url].

Before enabling this cache, the cache owner should confirm that the area is open to visitors and that the cache is still in place and in good condition.

Visiting Adelaide after dropping into family at Kangaroo Island. There certainly are plenty of caches around this part of the state so I will do my best in the time available to bag some and show some foreign trackables what our beautiful country is like. Wherever possible I will replace log bags and top up caches with odds and ends. Thanks for placing this cache.

02-May-13
I had headed out in a rush for a FTF effort nearby and then, since it was such a lovely morning, decided to do just a couple more caches too.
Those couple more ended up being 17 attempts: 16 were successful locus cache events Cool and 1 was a DNF Sad

Another nice, quick find and I am glad that your daughter got her toy back! Smile
Having had a child who didn't get theirs back, I can relate to days of angst at the loss Sad

It's clear out the the caches on the way to work day today, and this one was a prime candidate. I've always wondered about how safe it would be to pick up the cache and after I parked I noticed the back trail away from the road. Much better than walking in the gutter like I've seen other cachers do!

Had just finished some housework and needed a break when this one came through so timing was perfect. Into the car for the short drive, managed to find and sign then get to a petrol station after taking car further on reserve than ever have before so luck was still in.
Thanks for the cache Team Thumbs Up (cache was 3 metres from my GZ which is pretty good as far as I'm concerned).
