'Lest We Forget' - Port Pirie Port Pirie West, South Australia, Australia

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.

Normally I would ask for a NM log but as the NA log was by a previous finder I will temporarily disable the listing as a precaution.

Was at the cemetry Mothers Day and found the location of the final GZ has been removed as the council have pulled out the tree.

A quick find once we'd work out the questions. TFTC and bringing us to this very lovely resting place.

quick find after working out the right co ords, thanks for the cache

Nice hide. Easy find after working out final gz.

Found after a short search & walk
Nice spot, great cache, love a good cemetery multi
TFTC

A great cache to get me out of the geomobile today and stretch the legs for a while
From the main gates I wandered around the stones to find this very well looked after section of service graves [^]

With the coords for GZ in paw, the cache was an easy find in an obvious place

TFTC.

The co-ords for GZ were calculated quickly and then once Mr Beetle realised which direction we were heading in he took off and had the cache in hand before I even got there.
Some very elaborate graves here - especially the Italian ones.
Thanks.

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.

[Blue]# 9484 Found on the SA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
A last short trip around town while staying at Port Pirie.
Not many muggles around and a quick find on most of them.
Thanks for the cache nic.hil.kel,

GPS was misbehaving but luckily Genghicats worked. TFTC

Nice quick find on our last day in Port Pirie. Nice little puzzle and rewarded us with a find at the end.

TFTC.

We admit to needing a nudge with our numbers with this cache, and as I suspected before, our final search area was way off! We returned today with a better set of coordinates, and soon had the cache in hand for the signing.

We've attended two burial services at this cemetery, so it was nice to visit for something fun instead.

Thanks nic.hil.kel.

The white marble headstones always look like soldiers standing tall and deserving of respect [^].
Quickly worked out the solution and found the cache .
TNLNSL. Recovered so it was out of sight.
Thanks Nic.hil.kel.

We gathered the clues, plugged in the new coordinates, visited our new GZ, found ourselves in a bit of an unlikely location! The only possible hiding spot was a rabbit hole, so after a fruitless search of the warren, decided we must have done something wrong.

I checked the GPSr, and the new coordinates were entered correctly, so returned to the plaque, and did a re-check. We came up with the same numbers as before!

We returned to the new GZ, which still looked unlikely as it was right in the middle of closely spaced graves. We broadened our search, still came up with zilch, so reluctantly abandoned the hunt.

Cool as very nice cache

Found while in Pirie to play in the band for the annual blessing of the fleet. I took the opportunity to grab some of the more recent caches while I was here. Good to be back in my hometown.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to find my grandparents' graves. Maybe next time. Found the cache though. It was fairly exposed, so returned it a little less obvious.

TFTC

Found in the obvious place once we got our bearings. Tftc

Found it with help from Ferret52

Thanks

TN, left smiley badge to cheer those left behind TFTC!

A quick find after working out the numbers. Took a few minutes to look over the graves of the young RAAFies who were killed in training accidents - six in one accident. It'd be interesting to find out the story about that one. TFTC.

EDIT: Found this regarding the accident: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/11786801?searchTerm=Train%20crash%20baradine&searchLimits=

Travelled past here and went to check on things and it was gone.. Have now replaced..

Thanks for bringing Jeremiah Bullfrog and me to this interesting part of the cemetery. Enjoyed the walking around but did not come up with the goods today. Will watch to see if others have better skills than us.

Enjoyed coming here but not today ........

Found on the "I'm not Diving with the Great White Sharks trip". A great day weather wise and caching wise. A return visit after a late night photo shoot for the info.

Thanks to nic.hil.kel and clear skies from TeamAstro.

interesting information and history. out with froghoppin for a while.

Please could the CO or next cacher please check for our Australia Emu Geo Coin that is currently listed in this cache.

If you would be kind enough to look through the logbook for any mention of who took it it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

After spending the weekend 4WDing at the Argadells, it was time to head home sort of . The temperature was around 41C and there were strong winds but I had airconditioning and plenty of water so lets go caching. Spent the day caching Pt Augusta and Pt Pirie but had to give up once the thunderstorms hit.

Found with a background of lightning. TFTC.

Passing through town on our way home from the West & dropped in for a cache or 2
. Lest we forget...TFTC

Worked this one out on mothers day and have returned on fathers day weekend to complete. Found easily as had no camo and was nearly falling out of hiding location. Re-hid as we though it should be. TFTC

Respect.

An easy find in a quiet part of the grounds. Thanks nic.hil.kel for the cache!!

Had to come to Port Pirie for some business this morning so I thought I may as well do this cache and put out another in their honor,LTB,tftc

We will remember them. a quiet place to reflect TFTC

Note to self, always read clues very carefully....after detour, and mistake fixed, found cache just where it should be. TFTC

Lest We Forget

In conjunction with this cache, make sure you find "Come Fly with Me" GC1KJKN out at Pirie Airport.
While your there have a look at the small waiting room / photo gallery in the building near to the cache.
To gain access you will need the CTAF code. Clues for this cache ABC + DEF + 505 = the CTAF code. This will get you into the Building. On the rear wall are photos of 4 of the RAAF Airmen that were killed in Training Accidents.

This was our RunCount0th cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 11:45.
(So this is our 43660th total find.)

As a former ADF member, I really appreciate the sentiment behind this cache.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks nic.hil.kel for the hunt today.

Last cache on my journey home from Adelaide to Whyalla.
TFTC.

Thought an early morning cache here would be ok but kids were less than stealthy with a large no. of mothers day muggles around. Found GZ and info and ventured off to find. Location seemed a little odd but noted buzzing tree adjacent. Read previous log which told us we'd made a similar mistake. Understand error in our ways and will revisit another day to complete

signed log, this is a very Interesting location and beutifully kept area an opportunity to pay our respect to our lost soliders. TFTC

A well put together Multi, contemplated the ultimate sacrifice, of a bygone era. Respect TFTHSL

After we did our calculations we headed off to where we thought it was turned out something wasn't right so checked the photo we took then soon worked out where we went wrong so went for another lap around the cemetery and this time at the right location.

TFTC nic.hil.kel

Got the required info while some muggles paid their respects... Back to car to do the math and off we went... Something not right, all I got was a tree with a heap of bees.. Back to drawing board and found out mistake... Off to GZ and the muggles have since moved on so was an easy find in the end...
Thanks nic.hil.kel for the cache.. This place always needed a cache and an appropriate placed one at that...

2 others ahead of us in the log sheet, thanks for bringing us here.
