Tea or Cocoa? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Moorundi: An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -

No response from the cache owner to the previous reviewer note ask for this cache to receive maintenance.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As there has been no response I'm archiving this cache to stop it from showing up in my reviewer searches and new placement checks.

Please remember to return to the GZ and collect the cache or Check it has been removed if you have not already done so.

We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash and if you have any TB's or coins in your cache I'm sure the owners would want them moved on.

[b]This cache has now been taken off my watchlist and I will not see any notes you leave on the cache page from today[/b]

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

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article here.

Geocache Description:

Steam trains need lots of water so along the tracks and at stations there were regular overhead water tanks, to replenish water supplies to the trains.

These large tanks had billboard qualities about then and often tea and other drink companies painted their signs on them to advertise to thirsty passengers.
Water was pumped from the railway dam across the road up to the overhead tank, which still carries advertising slogans and designs from the period. The steam locomotives were easily filled with water via the trunk (spout) on one side. The tank has a capacity of 25 000 gallons or 115 000 litres and was built from cast iron plates bolted together. This tank replaces the original from 1879, but is identical to, the 1879 tank.
