Geocache Description:


        This cache is part of a plan I have to hide 2 new caches every month for all of 2012 in the Upper Yorke Peninsula. One will come out on the 1st of the month and will be a traditional cache and the other one will come out on the 15th of the month and will be another type (such as puzzle, multi, etc). Each cache I place in the series will have the logo you see here on it so that you know which ones are part of the series.  

The area was named after John Taylor who was a partner in Elder, Stirling & Co which part financed the Wallaroo and Moonta Mines. Taylor's Shaft was the deepest at Moonta and reached a depth of 768m at it's lowest point. The North Shaft which is where the cache is located near was only 293m in depth . There were a number of deaths that happened in the Taylors workings. There is a Information sign near GZ that lists the men that lost their lives and how the death's occured.

Please keep an eye on any kids around these areas as they can be dangerous if they get in the wrong areas.



-: EXTRA INFO :-
At each of the caches I will place over the next 12 months you will be able to find a small clue that will be used in finding a future cache. This will be either in the cache, on the cache or within a few meters of it so keep an eye out for it while finding the cache. It will be in the form of A=? B=? And so on. This is not required to locate this cache but will be handy down the road.

Good luck
