Rana Pirica:
Hello,

It is Rana Pirica, the geocache maintenance frog, once again hopping through your area to check on geocache maintenance.

Since there has been no owner activity on this cache page and it has been over 30 days since the request to perform maintenance, this cache has been archived. Please remove any remaining cache components if you have not already done so. If there are questions about the archival or if you would like it to be re-considered for listing please e-mail me or your local reviewer in response to this archival, and we will help to unarchive your cache if possible. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing your further participation in the future.

Geocache Description:


The coordinates posted above are not for the cache, but they will take you to a nearby playground, newly built in East O’Malley, where you might like to spend some time. I recommend you try the red spinning bucket seat – but make sure you have a friend nearby to stop you when you go out of control! The cache is about 425m uphill from the posted coordinates. You can drive closer if you wish, or take a stroll from the playground. This is my first cache, so I hope you enjoy…

To find out the coordinates for this cache you first need to do some research. O’Malley is named after King O’Malley, who was quite a colourful character. His veracity is also somewhat dubious, but then I suppose that goes with the territory – he was a politician.

King O’Malley started work when he was AB years old. His first term of political office lasted only 3 years (189C-189D), his second term began in 19EX and lasted for 14 years.
King O’Malley died on GE/AG/19HF. (dd/mm/yyyy format)

The cache is located at S35 21.AAG, E149 06.CCE There is a mob of kangaroos that live on this hill just over the rise, so make sure you have a peek while you are there and enjoy the views too.

This cache contains a selection of 12 pins. Please keep the theme and only swap pins for pins (no buttons!). Geocoins and small travel bugs may also be left in this cache. I have tested this container and it has held up to the weather to date, but please report any signs of dampness and I will take extra precautions.
