Time to let this one go.
Since I have placed the container a number of plaques have disappeared as well as some of the shrubs. So I am Archiving my cache and if someone wants to do something different they can, cheers.

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.

After seeding (about 4 weeks)I will do a maintenance run around this area.

This one appears to have been missing for quite some time without any maintenance being done. Might be time to go...

Day9 of our Oz Mega 2014 Event trip. Crashed and burned big time yesterday, so didn't travel too far before calling it a day. I was more than happy to spend a bit of time in the Gawler area that both sides of my family came from before settling in Western Australia.

Headed out of town to do the 60 after saying goodbye to Gawler. Most of them were quick finds without even having to stop the engine. Completed them with just the one dnf (bugger!!). We were going to do the PSA too, but minor vehicle problems put a stop to that and we had to make a beeline to Port Pirie to get some mechanical assistance. By the time we got here though, the problem had rectified itself, and didn't miss a beat for the rest of the trip. Looks like we will just have a plan another trip over to get some of the stretch we missed today.

Despite our best efforts, we weren't able to find this one. Maybe another time. Thanks anyway Tk2

No find for us today

Marking this as NM as per notes.

Sadly I think this one has gone walkies. Given the last time it was found was October 2013 and the comments about the memorial having been moved, it might be worth checking on. We did find the plaques, but there was no cache that we could see.

Sadly had to log this as a DNF

Add us to the DNF list.

Cheers

We didn't attempt this cache on our last visit due to the proximity to surrounding houses, but I manned up to the task today, and was duly rewarded with a big fat DNF.

Only two plaques here now and the flag poles are all gone . If the memorials are moved, they wont make sense anymore and there's nothing you could use this triangle of land for anyway [B)].
Searched around for a fair time, even extended our search area, but couldn't turn up the cache .
Eventually some muggle children arrived, so we continued our journey to the next cache.
Thanks Tk2. We'll be back . . .

Quick find. TFTC

Another quick find during our exploration of Port Pirie.

So easy nice area never been before tftc

Very interesting history

TFTC was very interesting. Space Shuttle visited

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 to Whyalla for the FTF trail. A bit more distance and less caching, but a fun day. Everyone has done a great job of placing a great variety of caches and we had a great day.

Thanks.

Albida

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.

Fairly easy

Quick find after getting a bit lost on the way from Glo in the Dark, and driving on roads that aren't roads... TFTC!

TFTC Tk2 great spot to honor our Airmen

A quick find with time to read the inscriptions. Thanks

Spent an enjoyable day with Moses on the Move, travelling 400km over 14 hours, learning the history of the area and gaining smileys.
Thanks

Found on the "I'm not Diving with the Great White Sharks trip". A great day weather wise and caching wise.

Thanks to Tk2 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Interesting history. TFTC

A quick find after attending the Pirie Producers Market. TNLN TFTC SL

Out with the honeysuckers for a afternoon of caching, found cache missing and one of the information plaques missing, however two still remain for us to read up on, after confirming with TK2 the cache was replaced. TFTC Tk2

arrived there to find the appropriate plaque had been removed, and we believe the cache with it. out with froghoppin for a while.

We were going to put a DNF here as there is only 2 head stones now and a previous log showed 3 so i was thinking the clue may have had sojmesthing to do with the one that is missing as the clue had me stumpped. But after a LOT of digging around we managed to find it. Dont know how we did it but yep there it was. I loved the idea that they have used on a large round-about of sorts. It is a great area Tk2 thanx.

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.

A quick find and sign - needed the hint. TFTC.

Simple little Memorial Park. Quick find thanks to the clue.

TFTC

Been here before... Wonder what was in the middle must check photos from previous visits...
Cache could only be in a couple of places and thanks to the clue was quickly located...
Thanks Tk2 for the cache

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

Looked in all the usual places, scratched our heads and then, AH HAH!!.. Thanks for the clue and the cache.

And at last the clue makes sense. Tftc

couldnt find it so I read back a few logs. With new information I quickly found the sneaky little buffalo. Like all good soldiers.. front and centre.

Got my mojo back and made find. I am sure I looked there last time.

Found by torchlight .... while trying not to look to suspicious. Thanks Tk2 for the hide!!

An easy find but one muggle in front yard across the road.
Thanks.

A nice day out with family on fathers day. A shame the memorial has been moved, really takes away from this location. TFTC

Amazing the interesting snippets bits of history one can find in and around pirie.
Thanks for another smilie (and one up on you!?) tk2

Found on pushy ride , beaut day. TNLN

Never knew this place was here until now, searched around and found exactly next to the clue. However secreted under the bark next to cache was a syringe, No needle attached, so be careful it could be in the garden bed, you don't want to get a Needle stick injury, there could be more. Cache left next to clue. TFTHSL

Epic fail, you pwned us n00bs.

its back ! found it this time , may have bronzed this one. first to log new cach sheet ! thanks tk2 tnln

This is to so thanks to nic.hil.kel for doing a check on this one for me and replace the missing container.Apparently the garden has had some work on it and that may be the reason it has gone.

had a good look aruond with DEMON41 it does not appear to be there !

I'm not sure why I didn't find - it should be easy!

Sorry Team Engage, Joint FTF with nichilkel as Found on a drive home from Warramboo (Near Lock) as we had attended our Nieces 21st Birthday, so why not do a Few Caches on the Way Home and stretch our legs may take a while. Geomum took a seat and Geodaughter found this one together working as a Team. TFTC Tk2.
