Unfortunately, this cache looks like it has been muggled, and I am no longer in the vicinity to perform maintenance.
Thanks to all who have found this geocache in the past.

An amazing part of Burra’s history.
If only these 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.

It was school holidays and I needed a break from school and chores and needed to just have some fun. I talked sir_spectre into joining me for a weekend away caching near Clare and Burra. We avoided the big towns and focused on the caches we normally drive past on the way to somewhere else. Any caches that needed some attention got it.
Thanks to Davidwazza from mogni Smile
 
11-Jul-21
quick find. slowly clearing out burra. Walking to gz with mogni, saw us followed by some one. That someone was another cacher. After talking to them for 10 mins or so we parted ways and found a few more caches.
found with Mogni. Headed out in the general direction of clare and planned to clean out clare before the June Long Weekend End Event in 2022. As usual there was ALOT of caches found before then and only a couple of caches where found in clare before staying in Farrel Flat for the night. The next day was cleaning out Burra and slowly making our way home. Damn doing multi's takes so long, since the final has a habit of not being in the direction you are planning to go next. All caches that where found that were brittle or damaged were replaced and logs found wet where replaced, except for nano's. Nano's are evil spawn and you can do your own maintanence on them.

Arrived here to watch a couple of people that didn't seem to be interested in the goal or a history lesson!! LOL
I followed them......... and met a couple of cachers that I have seen their names popping up everywhere. So nice to put faces to names. Great chatting guys, keep up the great work.

After a relaxing weekend in Burra Burra it was time to head home, the long way of course .

TFTC Keep smiling

A short detour out to this one. No was around here today and so I admired the old goal. And some history was learnt. A short walk over to Gz where a quick find was had

Today I headed from Adelaide up north caching my way along from cache to cache and found myself in Peterborough for the evening. Stopped at Clare and Burra along the way as well as doing a few lab caches. Roughly 80 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

I was staying at World's End camping ground for a few days with some muggle friends before we headed to Broken Hill. Today we were going for a drive into Burra and we stopped for a few caches on our travels. [^]

I have been to Burra numerous times, but well before I started caching, so it was an interesting exercise visiting familiar places again to find the caches hidden in some of those places. Cool

Thanks for the cache Daviswazza. Smile

It was that time of the week again. Surprised It was time for the Wednesday Wanderings of the Puzzled Puzzler group in search of those smilies. [^] Today I got to join S.A. Sewer Rats, Blackadders and sushilord for a wander up towards Burra in search of solved puzzles and anything else that we were passing. [^]

I was here many moons ago to find a different cache and now I am back to find a newer one. [8)] It didn't take long and I dropped off a TB here. Smile

**Thanks Davidwazza for this cache. ** Big Grin

The usual weekly Wednesday with some of the Puzzled Puzzlers. The plan was to clear out Burra and any others on the way. The Starfish, KORF and the Adder met at the Sewer Rats at 9am for this long day of seeking plastic containers in the outback.

A nice hide at this famous place. cache is safe and sound. TFTC
