The Glenelg Jetty Traditional Geocache
Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, 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.

In August 1857, construction of Glenelg's first jetty commenced; it was opened on April 25, 1859. Costing over £31,000 (pounds sterling) to build, the structure was 381 metres (1,250 ft) long.
The jetty was used not only by fishermen but also to accept cargo from ships, including a mail service operated by P&O, until Port Adelaide replaced it as Adelaide's main port.
There were several additions to the jetty. A lighthouse was built in 1872 at the jetty's end, but a year later it caught fire and was cast into the sea to save the rest of the structure.
A replacement lighthouse was built in 1874, and was 12.1 metres (40 ft) tall. Other additions include public baths, an aquarium, a police shed and a three-story kiosk with tea rooms.The kiosk structure also housed a family.
This cache is a magnetic nano with just a small scroll to record your visit. No room for swaps and BYO Pen.

"The secret to nanos is to have some tweesers in your geocaching gear, they sure make it easy to take out log."
