Mary MacKillop-Moora Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Balayang: I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, MAC WA, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

Geocache Description:

An easy Cache is memory of a great Ausralian Woman. It is a black mint tin in a  tree about waist height close to where the original residence and school once stood.


Mary MacKillop was born in Melbourne in 1842.  In 1866 she was invited by Fr Tenison Woods to open the first St Joseph's school in Penola in South Australia. She founded the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart who have since established schools all over Australia and New Zealand. The Sister's of St Joseph are also working in Peru, Ireland, Scotland, Brazil and Timor Leste.

St Joseph's School, Moora was established in 1913 and celebrates its centenary this year 2013. The school now continues in the spirit of Mary MacKillop.

One of her famous sayings was,"  Never see a need without doing something about it."

Mary died on August 8th, 1909 and in 2010 she was declared Australia's first Saint.

This cache is part of the Mary MacKillop series and has been placed with the permission of the Travelling Sister.
