LETS GO GOLD SEARCHING Peterborough, South Australia, Australia
By chrispy89 on 01-Jul-13. Waypoint GC4FB0R

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.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

cache access is still blocked off, expected april 2018 before access might be possible

locaction still blocked off

disabling due to the amount of heavy vehicle traffic, from the sewerage upgrade. will advise when finished and ready to go again. will be at least a couple of months

5th DNF in the town of Peterborough. : - (

The town that was muggled. Can't believe it The 5th DNF.

With a couple of days off and beautiful weather, decided it was a perfect time to revisit the Southern Flinders Ranges [^]
This was one of the fun stops along the way
Cheers & TFTC chrispy89

Here for the annual SA bike ride. Tftc.

Found by The Noodler. I have spent many days working at this place, crushing gold ores from various mines in the region with the 10 head gravity stamp battery housed in the nearby building. TFTC

I was in luck as I approached GZ I could clearly see something there that didn't belong and yes it was the cache. Signed the log and covered it up better (sorry next cacher). TFTC

Left the van in the RV park and spent the afternoon collecting smilies. Had to wait for a lady out walking to move on. One of those times when a torch would have been handy.
Took the GC
Thanks chrispy89

A good cache not wher we were expecting it

Tftc dropped a travel bug

A Scientist and historian Chrispy89, you should write a book.

Tftc

A nice quiet spot for a quick find. TFTC

Out and about today, with the geovan parked up opposite the rail museum. Last night, we did the light and sound show at the museum, this morning, did the tour, then went for a drive to find an abandoned tunnel, a sports ground, a welcome sign, a dog, a man called greg and some gold.

No gold here, but six cache finds today, I think I stuck gold. thanks chrispy 89

Easily located with GrimsTattoo. Thanks for the hide!!

TFTC WE did not find the gold but found the cache .

Think the campers in the vicinity thought we were up to mischief with this one! Few anxious moments when we found the cache as the hidey hole looked to be inhabited by the slithery kind of wildlife, all good however TFTC

Nice hide. Found it left a log. Tftc.

Easy find thankyou

Heading home after a weekend at Willangi Bush Escapes north of Peterborough 4WDing and camping away from phone coverage, grabbing caches along the way. TFTC.

Found a cache not gold today, Thanks chrispy89 for the cache. TNLNSL

Away in Peterborough for a caching weekend with the SnappyomCats and we stopped to grab this one.

Travellinbees

Up from the Barossa for the weekend with the travellinbees for a fun weekend of caching. After settling in at the Motel we headed out to do a few before dinner. FINALLY!! We managed to find one that isn't on a train!! Didn't find any gold though...TFTC

Catching up on a few late logs (something not that unusual for me). As always, I enjoyed the journey to find the cache, mostly I have been in the company of Team Crackers, maccamob, alansee and the Coffee's, but occasionally I have gone out solo to soak in the solitude of being out in the fresh air.

Thanks chrispy89 for placing this cache.

Found it on a very hot, dry day

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...

Was right where it should have been.

Thanks for the fun chrispy89!

Took a bit of a hunt but soon found TSLS TFTC SL

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for a fun cache guys. Love your work. We signed the logbook. Warning this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise.

Unfortunately we did not have a gold detector. Just a plastic detector. Sweet as.

Thanks to chrispy89 and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

I wasn't sure which road to approach this from but chose the right one in the end and no water in the gully. Thanks.

I was making my way to Broken Hill and passed through here.

A quick find at an interesting location. Thanks for the history Crispy89!

TFTC!

On our way to Darwin. Tftc got my 600th

Travelling to Stanthorpe for the mega event via Orroroo, Peterborough, Broken Hill, Cobar, Lightning Ridge. Great to find this well hidden cache and showing us more of the area. Thanks to chrispy89.

A bit awkward to get to, but a quick find nevertheless. Cache #2106. Removed the lollipop as there shouldn't be food in a cache, against the guideline.

Eukera! Finally a find in Peterborough. Quick find with Lionjrb

A nice quick find while heading north with lumpyjrb. TFTC.

3:37:00 PM. Continuing our road trip to SA and on to WA. No rush just grabbing caches along the way. Makes for slow going sometimes. The better half found this one. Thought our luck was running out. Now to head back out of town and make camp for the night. Thanks chrispy89 for placing this cache.

Geokid7 took geodad for a quick find after the family visited the railway museum nearby. TFTC.

Easy find

when I spent a few years in Peterborough I was too young to know anything about gold, I might have to ask my elder brother if he knows anything about gold. cheers. MODU.

Nice bit of history and science.

Quick find on a hot day. TFTC

We didn't find any gold but we did find a strangely hidden cache. Thanks.

We searched so ling at the GZ but found nothing. Then a resort to a previous log was if assistance. All good now. Thanks Chrispy

Peterborough has proved to be a most interesting place and these geocaches have given us an insight into the history of the area Thanks for the journey

Found it. Wasn't too difficult.

Found it. Wasn't too difficult.

Found it. Wasn't too difficult.

Freezing but luckily the cache was quickly found.

Never found any gold but a cache instead.
Thanks.

I arrived at the site just before a passing goods train
That kept me distracted for a goodly 10 minutes .... crikey !! That was a long train !!

Another 10 minutes of looking did not find me a cache
So I gave up on this one so as not to overdose on any residual cyanide that might be still in the soil
As I was leaving I randomly looked under something that was lying around and found the cache [:o]

So much for 'the obvious place' theory [^]

TFTC

Easy find once grand kids read comments. Found with Sherbet and Maxwanchung

Quick find on a cold and blustery day. TNLNSL TFTC

Thanks for teaching us something new. After a search in the more-likely places, the container was spotted in plain sight just sitting in the open. Right on cue, just as we were replacing it in a better spot, a 2-diesel & 46 flatcar freight-train rumbled past.

AHHH there you are ,that wasn't to hard ....all good n dry TFTC
Camped over in the paddock .....plenty of room ...camped the otherside last time here ,but this is okay ..
lucky we can free camp. so close to town ....

Too hard for the 7 of us.

found on day out geocaching on Easter weekend. TFTC

found it but no gold today. Bad luck. TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

What pity I didn't found GOLD BUT I found the cache hooray!!! Signed the log. Thanks chrispy89

Oh and look out for snakes :/

A nice easy find - a joy after a few DNFs earlier in the day. TFTC

We have been to Peterborough several times, but never knew this was here - another geocaching gem. It's a wonder they don't develop it as a tourist spot seeing they have done such a fabulous job of Steamtown. Thanks for showing us chrispy
