Woolshed 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This cache has been archived.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.

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

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Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.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 (http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70).

Geocache Description:


Glencoe was first established in 1844 by Edward and Robert Leake as a sheep shearing station, the Leake brothers named the settlement after Glencoe, Scotland.
The Woolshed was built in 1863 for the Leake brothers, who bought Saxon merino sheep to South Australia. It is an example of the working fabric of large parcel land holdings of early settlement.
The shearing/wool shed is unique as it was never converted to mechanise shearing and it is set up as a museum of original and historic blade shearing and wool handling processes.
The shed remains a testament to the craftsmen of the day, often being referred to as a "cathedral", with arched blackwood beams and an architectural style rarely seen in this type of building.
If you feel inclined you can enter the building for a small fee with the key at the local general store or more information on the National Trust website.
The cache is micro with log only, is easily accessible through grounds from parking waypoint.
