No response from owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note.. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

with no owner intervention and no maintenance done not signed in since august i feel this 1 needs to be done so maybe someone else can put a cache nearby and maintain it

Should have read the logs first,
wasted good caching time looking here.
DNF

We looked for about 45 min and couldn't find it

Is it still there?? Only one rosemary bush to be seen but not there. Lots of mulch there, is it under the mulch, where do you start?

no find here today

As the last cacher has said, recent garden works may have removed this cache. Not much of a rosemary bush to hide anything in anymore.

Recent pruning & remulching work may have contributed to our DNF today

Stopped to check the map next to an interesting statue. Hello, there is a cache nearby. Lets have a look. A quick find. No bees today. Thanks Rav 4 Raiders.

Found it!!! Had to watch out for the bees...

He certainly is a tall dude when you are standing beneath him and not just driving past. Found the cache quickly in the fading light of day. TFTF

We came away from this one smelling quite lovely! Found easily. Thanks for the hide & the chance to take in some local history.

nice place to sit and rest before moving on to the next one.

found @ 9:50 with mum and dad (ross47)

Quick find on our way back home to Melbourne.
Interesting information.

TNLN TFTC

Found @ 09:50 in the company of the geowife and emeraldflame after a short search. An interesting piece of history.

Took Key TB (unlisted), left nothing.

Thanks to Rav 4 Raiders for the cache.

Picked up a tb to move on soon We'd attempted this before but failed because of bees TFTC

Not to hard!

incorrect date found a whiled ago ntnl found while waiting for my lad

The three of us were on our way to Astro la Vista for our 2,000th find. We'd planned to pick this one up on the way up.

Toddler Tardis was impressed by the big miner, and played at his feet. He even tried to undo the shoelaces, but they were "stuck".

Signed the log. Thanks for the Rav 4 Raiders.

TB Drop

Found on our OZ MEGA trip, very impressive.

TFTC

Wow - interesting mining memorial.

Found during a massive 24 hour cache-a-thon with Rediguana, ADV, Hello Mrs and Pohutukawa - on the homeward stretch of our Oz MEGA trip.
We did 231 caches in this one day - a new personal best and an Australian record (until growingupisoptional put it in its place just one week later).

Sorry for the generic logs.
We had an awesome time with the TdF, APM and much of the NXY serries' of caches, as well as many others in between. Unfortunately they were all a blur in long, long, day.

Pretty impressive statue! Easy find for us. Cheers Gav [11453]

Smell of rosemary left on my hands after looking for this cache. TFTC

Got the handsome miner to myself. .. Found it nice and easy.

Thanks Rav 4 Raiders for the cache.

A quick find whilst trying to keep my feral kids off the monument.
Thanks for the cache!

Quick easy find once the muggles left. TNLNSL TFTC Rav 4 Raiders!

To answer the question, no I can't - too much hard stuff around to dig here. The big miner certainly looks he could do it easily though! Driving past so I thought I might grab this one, parked in the parking area for the miner and wandered to GZ where the cache was found quickly. Thanks to Rav 4 Raiders for putting one here and making me stop, wouldn't have given this more than a quick glance otherwise.

The wife found this one while i waited in the car with the lad who was sleeping. TFTC TNLN

A smooth find on a solo caching jaunt to the clare and the barossa TFTC

On a day out to the playground and pool. Tftc

Geodad a went walking while Geomum and Geodaughter slow off the mark walked behind, Geodads GPS leading him astray, Geomum a bit slack accidentally found this one quick laughing showing Geodaughter and saying to Geodad I think I found it. The town was already with a man with a bright Orange safety vest (wow it was big) advertising the Tour down under Bike ride. TFTC.

TFTC. A nice day out. On my way to getting 100 caches.

Thanks for this one,
Never had a reason to stop there before.

Totally dug it!

Found wit geomates while visitin sexy Map in his xmas get-up!

Quick easy find while we ate lunch. TFTC

After settling down at Kapunda caravan park, Mr Bushies2 went out to hunt a few caches, had to wait for muggles to move on...easy find. Thanks Ray 4 Raiders.

We dug the cache but we thought that Cornish miners were all supposed to be little guys? TFTC.

Quick find on drive through Barossa.

Found on a day trip to the Barossa

Out on a GZ trip with my boys for a few days.
Great time of year to be trekking around the back tracks exploring!

TFTC!

We weren't brave enough to hunt around with all of the bees flying around. Will have to try this one again another time when the rosemary is not in flower.

log book was a bit soggy but still a nice hidden place been there many times n never knew one was there ps lucky I didnt have a bee alergy haha so many around!

Disappointed not to be able find the cache today. The rain coming down, I was trying to hurry. No bees but maybe 'MIZVR' got there 1st and was busy logging the cache at the same time. About 2cm of water under foot I decided to wait till next trip this way.

So many bees!! Be careful, nice find. Love this place. Tnln tftc

The rosemary was in beautiful purple flower with many bees in attendance, making the hunt a tricky business. Couldn't shake the feeling of being watched with Map the miner scrutinising my every move. L hippo TN. TFTC

Loved it!!

Found, TFTC, just one of those smells that lingers, Rosemary !

TFTC

needs a better container

It was dug! Nice way to round off the end of the day. Cheers

nice quick find

This was an interesting find in the dark, found by the fossil and rat dog.
Our last find the day. TNLN, TFTC

"gorse" we found it, a lovely park with an impressive monument. Thanks Rav 4 Raiders for the cache.

Quick find by Roger this time,read some of the boards whilst Roger was signing the log. Amazed at the candle light on the front of the helmet.
I think it,s tough when a fuse blows and I have to go out in the cold and throw the breaker. Thanks for the cache TNSL - L - 1956 Australian Penny

nice and quick easy find on a day with parislaura

TFTC! Nice quick find for our first for the day.

Number of times we have stopped with friends and family from interstate and never thought about it, But today we did !

Just a warning for this one if the moths don't attack you watch for the bees they are in force this time of year around this cache

Found the big man. lol =)
Left Carabiena.
TFTC

Last find for the day. Signed log, and then ran across the road to take a photo of Map. TFTC.

Last cache for us on a long day. The kids were tired but still in great moods (and fell asleep 2 minutes out of town). The smell of rosemary always makes me want lamb shanks. A easy find in a place I have only ever stopped at once before. TFTC.

Great name and a great spot for a cache. We have driven past here a bit before but it has been a long time since we have gotten out and looked around. The geokids had a great time posing for photos with Map as well as swapping treasure. TFTC and the great rest stop!

Found with geoparent spiderfoot11. Geat area, loads of history, and relatively muggle free today. TFTC.

Nice easy find. TFTC. Left a keyring, took nothing.

I didn't dig it, CPwanderer did, but Aussie Mary almost always gets to log the finds. TFTC.

Cache number 38 on epic day with CPWanderer and Aussie M&M. TFTC

Our first cache in Kapunda... found with AussieM&M and Team707!! TFTC

We have stopped here many times and have even brought Interstate Visitors to see MAP but that was prior to joining the wonderful pasttime of caching. So glad that we now have a reason to visit all these fantastic places again looking for caches and of course there had to be one here otherwise we would have been very disappointed. In for the search and an easy find - Left Eiffel Tower. So nice to see Map is back to his former glory and standing tall.

Great Hide, Great Location, good days caching thanks

Apparently we can

Cache was dry a little grotty but found it with lid off, perhaps this helped to dry it out. Lovely cache in an amazing location, had a chat with a local man while we were there, he told is it had been burnt down recently and they rebuilt it. I vaguely remember seeing this as a child but was so nice to see him come into view just after sunset. TFTC was nice to come here.
Regards,
Jacqui&Steve

The container needs replacing,,, all wet inside

The cache was water logged, I did drain it as much as I could, but the log was quite wet.

I walked away from this cache smelling of rosemary for the rest of the day - TFTC TTBLN

Nice spot to hide a cache, but it was a busy parking area today. Had enough time muggle free to find.
Left marble, took geocoin.
TFTC.

Found after a bit of a search - now smelling strongly of Rosemary! Left miner tb and geocoin. TFTC

Found under the gaze of the big guy. Took doggy, left froggy. SL TFTC Rav 4 raiders.

The owner realy needs to replace this container its very wet and sad or perhaps if its on your list to find take a container and replace it log book is very hard to write in good cache to find

I think the (ice cream?) container really is a bit unsuitable. I dried out the log briefly whilst taking some photos, but it is still a bit damp. The whole location is a lovely setting and my fingers certainly smell nice now! Cache #778.

Nice easy find at a spectacular statue. Really well done detailed monument. The log book was very damp and needs a new bag to keep it dry. Thanks for the cache.

nice hide

found it after arguing about what sort of bush were looking at 5th find for the night

Took a little detour on our trip up to Tanunda to visit Map!

TFTC

Visited before, nice place for a cache..things a bit damp. TFTC

Great little find on our way into Kapunda, TFTC TNLN

Had driven passed a few times before but it was great to be able to learn the history.
