Geocache Description:

Oil rig momument

In 1892, a group of entrepreneurs, who believed there was oil located in the Coorong, drilled Australia's first oil well. They were unsuccessful, as it was later discovered that the 'oil' was in fact a flamable, compacted vegetable substance (known as 'coorongite'). A replica of the oil rig has been built as a monument to this enterprise.

Ok, replaced the cache container. The new location is about 4 metres from the original co-ords.

Because of the issues previously, the new container is now a magnetic nano. New clue is North West Corner.

If you can't find it, don't replace it, inform me with a DNF, any replacements will be deleted from log.
