Triskaidekaphobia Blakiston, South Australia, Australia

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Dropped in on this cache site on the way home from following Earthlight's cache series. We stayed in Littlehampton for the first 6 weeks after we landed in Oz and I really wanted to do this cache, but it had barricades around it from day one. Now the building is all restored and the fences are down. They have done a beautiful job, the stonework and windows are amazing, it's hard to believe so many children used this tiny building. The last log was a little confusing and I wondered if the cache had reappeared but it obviously hadn't. Great site with a lot of history, hope the cache comes back soon.

Although have found this cache feel it is in a great area.
Had thought of placing one near old cemetery across the road but your cache was too close.
Am still deciding on where to hide my first cache so will keep my eyes on this cache.

Will await the refurbishment before replacing the cache to a new location.

I'll back up purplekel's comment, the site is undergoing major stonework restoration. The temporary fencing essentially takes this one off-line.
I suspect the restoration will probably remove the cache entirely, as the rear wall has been completely removed, so a bit of loose rubble is unlikely to cause them to rethink their work schedule.

Driving past this one every day i have noticed that in the last couple of days some building/restoration work seems to be going on and some temporary fencing has gone up. Not sure if the cache is still intact but there is a big pile of rubble dangerously close to its hiding place.
Team Ermalesh - it might be worth a visit to see if the cache has survived.

Decided to visit the old school house at Blakiston, as I have passed it many time, but never stopped to have a look. Had a quick look out side, except for a few bricks near a tree, nothing looked suspicious. Went back to the corner where my phone took me closest to GZ and thought well, I'll look inside. Quickly found the cache, but was annoyed when I couldn't find my pen, dashed back across the road and borrowed one from the handbag. Cache was looking a bit sad, so I left a small sticker. Cheers Team Ermalesh, cool spot.

Could the next finders of this cache please say if our large heart shaped red geocoin is still in this cache. (It was logged as left by Delving on 1st October 2011) many thanks.

On way home with rougewatermelon thought might as well log one we pass nearly every day. As usual the rouge had it in hand very quickly. TFTC. no geocoin. Was it perhaps the pirate coin that was swapped in October?

the last cache for the day. parked on the no-thru road on the other side of the barrier. a quick find. TNLNTFTC

This cache took a while, but eventually found it. Brought me to an interesting place, accompanied by an interesting smell! TFTC

Had a quick look for this one a couple of months back but didn't have the time to look properly - today I just walked straight up to it. It's always the way but the cache was signed and returned. This was a well timed find as it is our 599th and we wanted to make the event tomorrow our 600th so thanks for helping us achieve that goal too! TFTC

Found on my way down to victor. Logbook needs replacing all full.

Found while visiting family for Christmas in the Adelaide Hills. Found by 5 year old Lucy who was very excited and was careful to hide it again.

Left: Ring tailed lemur
Took: Purple butterfly

Thanks Team Ermalesh

Upon arrival at GZ I found the cache rather openly sitting out on one of the ledges. A cheap find. Tried to cover things up a little for the benefit of the next visitor to the site, but perhaps Team Ermalesh may like to drop by and return it to its original hideyhole (wherever that was!)
TFTC

A good find touring around the area. Found and left in a logical hiding place - a little away from co-ordinates which suited the listing. NOTE: was well hidden when I left and nowhere near where the next finder said it was found. SL TFTC

Another cache I was glad of having the iphone with me to read a few logs. Once I ignored the gps and used common sense, a quick find.

TFTC

Quick drive by, second attempt found it easily after ignoring my gps and thinking outside the square. Took pirate coin, left purple butterfly. Log book is full. TFTC.

Found it in the last place we looked.

GPS had us at the front of the school, but that's not where the cache is.

TFTC

What an interesting little old place. Great spot for a hide. We looked around quite a bit before finding actual GZ, then realised that our GPSr put us 13m from the listed co-ords - is that why the cache is named the way it is, perhaps? Thanks for bringing us here.

Another great treasure in the Hills. Cache is in Good condition.

Gps had me going all over the place until i decided just to look around a bit.
Found it and left Geocoin.

Wandered around the building having a look in all the nook and crannies before discovering the real spot. Wasn't much in the way of swappables so i left some pirate gold to build it up some more. TFTC

Triska, tris, triskadawhat? Fortunately the search was quicker than the puzzle over how to say it, even with some dodgy sat loc.

TNLN SL TFTC

13 was bad luck for us last week when we came out at night.
This time with just a little daylight left were able to have
a good look around. Left GPS in car after reading other logs
of GZ being out. Our ever improving caching noses soon sniffed
out spot. TN L Dinosaur Skeleton TFTC

Found it after search..
Nice hide
Interesting old building
Thanks for bring me here and cache

Very nice place and not where i exspected. it took me a while and just before a was about to leave as it was pouring down with i did one last look around as i dont like to not find and spotted something not quit normal and new it was there. the log book is full and needs replacing, i had non spare on me. TFTC.

Enjoy.....

First cach with Aaron woot, wait second.

A day of Caching at the Bridge,
We felt like we were in a fridge.
We finished up with 28,
We did it with sparkey25, our mate.

First family find. Very excited kids. TFTC. Needs new log.

Love day for a walk

After Pirate Rock and Pirate Mum gave up, Pirate Dad went for a look and couldn't believe how they missed it. The Gnome was pointing to it!

Interesting building. Thanks for the cache, I like 'em when they show me something I wouldn't have seen before. [^]

Found this one thanks to a helpful local gnome took ring tb and left stickers. Found with k8eus, tftc

Nice hiding place, wasn't where i thought it would be. TFTC

I tried to find a thirteen somewhere, and it was the 16th of the month, this was my first find of the day.
Then it came to me ... the time ... 13:21. OMG how scary is that?
Love the school, shame about the disrepair.
I agree GZ and cache seem to have parted ways, but the hidey spot is a good one, so I put it back where it was.
Also, left a TB, and discretely (not) placed a gnome nearby. (The gnome was in the geocaching.com.au race from December - January).

Found this late afternoon. Good hiding spot. Notepad nearly full so may need replacing at some stage. TNLN TFTC

Been riding past this one for ages so it was about time that we found it.

Nice place & would have been nicer in its day! [:o)]

This was our 13th find for the day - no fear of this number for us today. Our GPS indicated that the cache was about 20m away from where it thought G should be. Interesting old school. TFTC Team Ermalesh

Found this one but not the usual spot. it was thrown out in the open with its contents littered all thru the ruin. a note was left in cache saying to enjoy the treasure hunt. i collected all could find and will put it close by and notify team ermalesh to replace it in correct spot
TFTC

Awesome little location. I bet loads of people just zoom past without even knowing that this little place is here! Great to read the history board outside too!!

Driven past hundreds of times so it was nice to stop and have a look at some history. TFTC

Great drive-by cache. There is just enough room to pull off the road. Had to pretend I was making a phone call a few times as the traffic was fairly heavy on it's way to work. Interesting experience: in the fog, in the middle of summer, Adelaide Hills. No problems with the satellite signal this morning. Another spot I have always meant to visit but never have. Great timber ceiling in the old schoolhouse.

easy find

knew this cache was in this old building, and stopped when out caching only to realise i didnt have the co-ords, lucky it was an easy find : tftc cheers

Wow, another great historical building that I've driven past but never really noticed. Some nice local history. Thanks for the cache here.

Nice spot to look around. Check out the ceiling inside!

cant even spell this lol
nice easy find as we were on our way to see my mother

Nice hide on the way to the farm train place left a magnet and took lizard and taking money for a ride

Found cache on a wet and cold spring day, an easy find despite the cloud cover playing a bit of havok with the GPS - TFTC TNLTB

We found this cache during the Hahndorf geoblitz - a great day.

First one found now only 1,058,752 to go cool Thanks for the cach.

What a lovely old school. We actually have a house at number 13. No fear here TFTCSL left gecko took GC

My second visit to drop off a TB as I was passing by. Won't be doing any caching for the next few days so thought it best to put it back into circulation.

What a lovely little bit of history, would never have noticed it if I hadn't been looking for cache. Easy find once I worked out which side of the building.

Quick find after completing a 50k bike ride around the area.
Off to visit the owner of this cache now.
Thanks team Ermalesh

Quick find in & out of car in record time.

Quick find once i was on the right side of the building

We hit upon this cache on our way home from MB after a long day at a first birthday party. We were probably too tired to start with, but add to that searching at dusk with a temperamental torch... No joy
we will return and have another go in the daylight... Or at least after a very good sleep!

Good to actually stop by and take a few minutes to read the information about this little building. Check out the ceiling, gorgeous timber still intact.
Found cache, as it was left exposed. Took some care to cover up on departure.

Log Book is full and needs replacing.

#13 no problems for me. An easy find with some very interesting local history. TFTC

Interested old school building... Found it TFTC

Another one of those spots you drive by and think what an interesting bit of history .
Great spot to hide a cache and just love these old ruins.

Easy driveby if you come from the right direction, but an easy turn a bit further on. Happy to do this one, with geograndaughter2. I like the no.13 and this is the start of our 200plus caches. We've visited a few old school sites around the state: all very interesting and would have been "unseen" but for geocaching. Took marble and left a keyring. TFTC

Needs new log book. Someone left a piece of paper but it's filling up too.

easy find TFTC

Found by Team GeoCoopers
Spent the day in Mt Barker while my wife was on a puppet making course in Nairne.
Thanks Team Ermalesh

Team NKJ

The teacher in our group was interested in the building at GZ and was actually the one who found the cache.
An interesting building and location, thanks for the hide.

Couldn't see the connection between the name and the cache location, but that didn't matter as we spotted the likely location from the car. TFTC

The old wooden ceiling is nice. I particularly liked that it didn't fall on my head (...ok so I suffer from Trikaidekaphobia). We only had a small window of opportunity to find this one. Thankfully it wasn't too hard.

Cheers & TFTC!

Found on the way home from work.
Easy find although the cammo pretty obvious.
Tried to hide a bit better hope you don't mind.
Thanks
