Chaffey Women and Children Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Bunjil: I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

             - Cache Owner unable to maintain cache 
             - No response from the cache owner.
             - No cache to find or log to sign.
             - It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
             - Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:


The Chaffey brothers were crucial to the entire Riverland.
The graves of the women and children are here.
Being a parent, the ages of the children when they died really tug at my heart strings. In the Historic graves nearby is a little girl who died aged 3 yrs due to being scalded...I think back to that era and .....well you can't begin to imagine, no hospitals nearby, no emergency first aid supplies etc etc. It must have been very tough and very heartbreaking at times.
The homestead, is nearby and well worth a visit. (I'll bet there will be a cache here one day!)

On to the cache:
