Ghosts of Minmi Wallsend, New South Wales, Australia
By Billy&Jad on 15-Aug-15. Waypoint GC60P0J

Disabling until we can check

Started doing this in the afternoon which might not have been the best idea especially since the WP need the special tool. But I must mention the container at WP1 was open and the spare batteries are wet so CO might want to check that out.

TFTC and a nice quick find after doing the work to obtain the coordinates. A favourite from me for how to get the coordinates and for the cool cache at the end. An interesting cemetery with so much history.

Wow! What an incredibly creative cache for the final. Thankyou for all of the work for the different waypoints. Thanks for the hide and a favourite for me!

Find#2130Despite a lot of rain recently I came here yesterday to scope out WP1 so that I could attack this cache early this morning. On a cold morning today I completed the multi and can now claim this cache. Unfortunately at the moment I have no favourite points but it certainly deserves one when I have one. Cache and log in good condition TFTC

Came here last night with geowife - 9pm, pitch black.Walked into the field, she saw an ominous looking tree stump. Nope, Im not doing that.Ok all good, well go tomorrow at dusk.Everything looked much friendlier with a little bit of sunlight, although the mozzies were out in full force to take over from the ghosts.Really cool concept, getting an FP from me - container made us chuckle!TFTC

Love this one! Tftc

Wow! So well thought out and so well executed! Many thanks for a lot of fun for Goldberry17 and us! And a fav point from us. TFTC!

Loved this one. The final cache was awesome and the multi so much fun. Completed with 2pods. Even the mozzies were better behaved today. TFTC & definitely worth a favourite point!

Tftc

Found tyftc

Saw this on the map and just had to do it. Bundled up the geo teens and headed off to the starting point around 8:45pm. Mozzies were out in force so we covered up and headed into the darkness. Senses were heightened as we headed to GZ. Special tool retrieved and continued on for the remaining hides. Loved the final container. Fav point from us. On the way back there were screams coming from the darkness and others were coming. Or were they the ghosts of minmi???

Love this geocache! My first using this kind of special tool. Such a lovely old graveyard but very sad to see that the memorials have seen better days. The final container was found with a lot of luck and my spidey sense, as my phone died just as I was making my way to the coords. Amazing container! A FP from me and thanks to the CO for helping me out with one of the waypoints

Was out at the adventure tree tops for the day and decided to stop in at this cache on the way home. Enjoyed looking to find the clues and finally find the resulting cache at the end. Completed this in the afternoon during daylight hours so is possible to complete during the day. Was a very creative cache. TFTC

Great fun to find this tour. Torch and contents of container replaced. TFTC

Good fun

We have replaced the UV torch at WP1

We have now replaced the UV at waypoint 1, all waypoints are in good order.

Unfortunately had not read other logs before attempting this cache and found no coordinates or tool/UV torch in container at WP1Also do not have a UV torch to bring to reattempt Would love to be able to do this cache!

We have ordered a new uv torch but decided to leave this in play for those who can provide their own uv and read the coordinates that are still at WP1. We will now disable until we can replace the torch.

I had a lot of fun here, was able to do the series with my own special tool. It turns out I wasnt here at the right time of day but the FPs had me keen. Every now and then we used to get a dominos delivery from Wallsend to minmi. I got paid extra to drive out there. I think in three years I only went there twice and always to the same house. The area has changed a bit since, but I think minmi is still pretty sleepy. The screams from nearby treetops really gave this cache a nice atmosphere or at least Im telling myself thats where the screams were coming from! TFTC

The uv torch at WP1 has gone missing so you will need to bring your own to complete this cache.

Tried this last night, found WP1, no tool or coordinates inside. Hopefully someone else was out trying to find this one, but I think we were the only ones there. Will try again.

Step 1 easy

Step 1 and 2 were easy. The next two were more challenging but so exciting when we found them.

TFTC

Given the high number of favourite points, I'm not really sure why I haven't found this one sooner. Found the first 2 way waypoints pretty quickly, although wp2 was covered in ants. Wp3 was a bit more challenging as it had fallen from its highly likely hiding spot (which I replaced it in). The final was a great cache and I'm glad I finally found it. TFTC!!! #2068

Very cool little adventure using the tool was fun. Did this during the day, stand in the shade to read the WP

Loved this one... to scared to do this at dusk...you know I know what happens in Cemeteries.....seen The Walking Dead..so middle of day find for M.Strikes, Geohound and I.TFTC...deserves a fav point.

very creative lost of fun

Found wp1 got the tool and coords for wp2. Whent there wasnt able to spot anything so decided to follow the direction i was heading in and eventually stumbled accross the cache in a very likely place. Signed log and returned as found

.

Replaced with new cache notes

Cache has been fixed up with new notes. We have dried out the old log book and whilst looking a bit tattered we think it suits the cache.

All the rain has taken a toll on this cache, so we will have it back up soon after a freshen up.

Disabled until we can perform maintenance

Coordinates for WP3 are unreadable

Absolutely terrified after that
The cords for 3rd way point are smudged and need maintenance walked around and found the cache
Heard steps behind us all the time
Good cache though

So I am a little late to log this cache as I am still getting over our ghostly experience.
We decided to head off after dark to get the full experience of the well placed cache.
It all started off well on this very clear but cold night, but it started to take a turn at WP2.
As others have said before us, the ink had run and made the WP unreadable….so we decided to have a look around to see if we could pick up on the trail….we eventually picked up on the trail and found ourselves at GZ….
We loved the container! Very fitting! We signed the log and placed it back ready for the next team to enjoy.
Then we headed back to return everything back in its place….that’s when we realised we were definitely not alone!
The hair stood up on the back of my neck and I had goosebumps all over as we stopped to hear footsteps behind us! I spun around to see who it was…….nothing.
We made a v-line for WP1 returned the tool and made a dash for the car only to discover we were definitely being followed! We stopped but the footsteps kept coming and we’re getting louder…still couldn’t see anything! We jumped in the car and took off!
This is truly a fitting name for this cache and I highly recommend doing this at night…..however I might have to give this cemetery a miss for nighttime visits.
Thanks so much for this cache!
Found with Captadams

Replaced the cache notes

Tftc Billy&Jad, tried to read the co ords at WP1 but they were not legible.
We wandered around using our finely tuned caching instincts and after a few minutes had cache in hand.
Cool cache. Needs some tlc

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 10843.

Out for the night with the two oldest girls as I have been promising to take them night caching for a while. One child was a bit spooked as we wandered around and I stuffed up the second waypoint but after restarting we followed through without an issue.
This was a fun night cache with a good deal of thought and a cool container. It gets a favourite point from us.

Thanks Billy&Jad for the cache.

Maintenance performed

Started off in daylight finished in the dark. With help from CO due to faded clue we found our way to the Prize. Such a great “home” for a cache. TOTT returned back to car to count mozzie bites!!

Just needs a little maintenance

Tftc

So Epic TFTC

That was cool found with the help or my nieces Widget and Yas

What a great Multi cache! Pretty easy with Kayarna_

Found with kb997! TFTC!

TFTC! This was one of my first geocache experiences and I loved it!

Easy

Very creative

I found lots of caches on a roadtrip holiday up to Byron Bay. Over the course of the week, I targeted a variety of caches that worked towards different statistic-based goals. Thanks to all the Cache Owners for their contributions to this fantastic recreational activity.

I really enjoyed this night cache. I came prepared with my own TOTT and navigated the different waypoints around the cemetery. I really enjoyed the well-themed container at GZ. Thanks!

TFTC! Did this at nighttime, truely well themed!

Note for future grave robbers; do not put coordinates into google maps. Always use the geocache app for the coordinate input!!! Searched for way foo long in the wrong spot lol but found it in the end

What a great cache series this was. Found it despite mosquitoes trying to take us away. A fav

Found on a nice summer's day , a little on the warm side. Got WP1 to find the tools, and made may way around the cemitry to the final WP to discove a well themed container. Log signed and caches replaced as found. Thanks For The Cache Billy&Jad

Great to wander around on mass for this. My cache senses were certainly out of whack. I put my hand on each Waypoint without making the find! Doh. Thank goodness we have specimenX and all the other crews.

.....

The beautiful puppy geo art up Maitland way has been tempting me for months!, so when Joolay, Minniek, Fitzy_1965 and SpecimenX started to brew plans for a trip, I knew I was in. Making a whole long weekend of it, we’ve hunted down much needed counties on Friday, diverted to Jasmers, caught up with locals at events and picked up some extra cool little trails and night caches, all the while keeping our eye on the geo art prize So wonderful to have the chance to get away for some caching fun, and to catch up with some local cachers whilst we’re about. Thanks so much to everyone who has invested in these caches to make our wonderful weekend away a possibility. Thanks for the Cache.

Headed to the Maitland area with fitzy_1965 & SpecimenX for an extra long weekend of caching.

Day 3 saw us joined by nibletricecakes and Joolay again. After yesterday's mammoth effort we took it slow and headed up to Frying Pan caching along the way.

Time for our night event after a quick bite of yummy Chinese in Maitland. Was great to see all the 'living' locals already waiting for us when we arrived. Prepared with the required tool, we headed to each WP collecting the information. Hit a bit of a hurdle at WP3 but soon found what we needed. Great hide at GZ. Thanks Billy&Jad....and thanks to all the locals who came out tonight.

All caches where found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned. Logs were either signed or stamped as Capital Crunchers, CC, Kapital Krunchers or KK.

Found with fitzy_1965, minniek, Nibletricecakes, Joolay as part of the Canberra Invasion of Maitland and surrounds over an extra long weekend

After the nearby event and then going for the geostroll to find another, off we all went to start this spooky multi! WP1 was found easily and with the kids of the group helping out with revealing the coordinates for WP2 with their special TOTT, off we went. Many eyes scoured the spot and some where convinced it wasn't there. but I spied something promising which led to the coords for WP3. Of we all went to that location and many eyes and fingers again scoured the area. Others in the group gave up too easily but I delved a little deeper to come up with the coords for GZ Off we went and it was an easy find of the cool container! Waited in line for others to sign the log and then stamped as Capital Crunchers for our group.

Thanks for the fun multi, Billy&Jad We had a great adventure. Fave point for sure!

What a great cache and wonderful to do it with a great bunch of locals and visitors. Been an awesome day as we were headed up to Frying Pan to finally get that early month ticked off for my Ausmer. It was supposed to be an quick trip up but we ended up 4WD'ing the entire circuit after looking for a Trig up the back. And then we had a closed bridge so again a detour. So we were late getting back to Maitland to continue our cache attack. This is our final cache for the day and a total highlight.

Up in Maitland with Nibletricecakes, Fitzy1965, MinnieK and Specimen X, to do the Dogs Head going by the name of Capital Crunchers
Thanks Billy&Jad

19,132. Found as part of the Capital Crunchers Team (fitzy_1965, minniek, specimenX, nibletricecakes and Joolay) during the Canberra Invasion of Maitland region over the long weekend.

Day 3 of our invasion. And after a HUGE day yesterday we had our sights set on heading up and getting Frying Pan for our JASMER, plus other caches as they appeared on our route. After finding Frying Pan we headed back to Maitland for some more quality caches. We stopped for a while to have a yummy chinese dinner, then headed down to the night adventure event. When I first saw this cache I knew we just had to do it, and it was made even more special by the turn out of so many locals to join in the spooky hunt. It was great fun wandering from WP to WP and then I uncovered the final gruesome find at GZ !

Special Thanks to barefootjeff for the group photo at the finish of the adventure !

Thanks Billy&Jad !! Fav Point of course !

This is a cache I've had on my radar for some time so when I saw it was to be the main attraction for the Canberra Invasion Night Adventure event, I jumped at the chance. I came prepared with head torch and UV light so was all set to churn some spirits. Some of the waypoints were devilishly concealed but we eventually got there and made the ghoulish discovery. What a great container and hiding place!

Many thanks for a fun cache, made all the better by the company of other cachers. An FP will be coming as soon as I have one available.

Found with people that came to the event

Found with people in the event

Found 1st but will come back at night also found this

Find No: 7863. Mrs Grub Fred, Shaneo58 & I headed out for a couple this arvo, this was fun, probably the best multi I've ever done, gets a favorite, thanks for the cache Billy&Jad!!

Found it. wih grub fred and Leslea. Multis are my favorite and this is one of the best. Dropped TB off.

It's not that I'm scared of ghosts but as I was in the area I couldn't go past this one. First problem was when I got to WP2 discovered that I needed the "TOOL"
. Second problem was the co-ords that I put in the GPS sent me in the bush and stayed there after going back to WP3 found they were correct and this time sent me in the right direction and it wasn't long before cache was in hand and log signed then outer there. (not scared of Ghosts tho) But thanks Billy&Lad for the cache but I wont be going back at night time. Worth a fav.

F

Wow what a great find at 6 am. Found with banj ward tftc. Fp from us! Loved the cache container!

Found with Beary_Unicorns on a very early Sunday morning. Extremely fun and spooky multi, and a spooky cache container was found at GZ. Visited Dux Guts TB. Fave point from me, tftc

Too impatient to wait for the summer sunset, I had a nosey around and stumbled upon a very clever cache! FP for the effort, and I will be back to do it properly one day, as I am curious to see how the waypoints are located! Ta.

Couldn’t convince the geokids to do this one at night, on Halloween !
So we did it in the safety of daylight. Still good fun though. Appreciate the effort that went into it.
All the parts in good shape.
TFTC!

Found

Definitely one of the best caches we've found in a while, deserving a well earned favourite point

Very creative uses of tools and space

Thanks for the Cache

Checked and everything is ok, one of the waypoints was on the ground.

Log missing

Day 7 of our Oz Geomuster roadtrip from Queensland. With the Mega now over we are pottering around targeting caches of interest and this one looked like a bit of fun. We brought our own TOTT with us which were thankful for due to the hoards of hungry mozzies we didn't have to muck around returning it. The smallest Esky Boy got the job of finding the coords and we were on our way. Found the tomb and were 'wowed' by the container. Great effort Billy&Jad...a fav point for sure. Thanks for the fun.

Found with mum and dad on day 5 of our Oz Geomuster roadtrip from Queensland.

After staying nearby while at the Oz Geo Muster, I stopped here to find this cache. WP1 found, I realised I needed to go back to the car for my TOTT as well as to lather myself in insect spray as the mozzies were ferocious..
WP2, WP3 found quickly and GZ was an interesting location.
Cache found quickly and what a cache!! Very apt for this location.
SL then returned as found.
A favourite point from me.
TFTC Billy&Lad

When we arrived there was a family group of five walking around the cemetery examining the headstones. I identified WP1 but had to wait until they had gone home before finding the next destination. I had my own TOTT which worked brilliantly even in sunlight. After a nice stroll we eventually arrived at GZ and a beautifully constructed final container, what a great piece of work! Thanks Billy&Jad for a well designed multi and a top cache.

TFTC found with Snickersallan on our way to Port Stephens for a work Reunion

In the area with Bluewattle and picking up a few caches whilst on our way through to Port Stephens and although this cache is designed for after dark we thought we'd still give it a go. At WP1 the mossies were very hungry indeed even biting through our shirts & they stuck with us all the way to the final WP. Apart from those little critters this is really an enjoyable multi to do, was such a beaut hide and great camo. Definitely worth a favorite point from me.

Found March 1, 2018

TFTC! Cool

Loved it!

Thanks

Loved it, spooky, end cache is fitting for the area, Thanks for bringing us here,

That was one of the best cache we have found. Good work.

The ghosts are ready to haunt again

WP2 has gone missing plus we have retrieved the cache container for a bit of TLC.

What great fun! With a little help from the CO we were on the right path! What a great container! Had a lot of fun with 3Ferrets. Thanks for the fun TFTCSL left behind a purple thing key ring

Out tonight with PurpleCacheEater to do our first night cache.

Found WP1 quickly, but Wp2 bison tube was clearly MIA. After conferring with CO, we were on ours at to WP3. Quick find there took us to the cute final resting place. Log (very damp) was duly signed by all, tnln.
The weather was ideal- though somewhat eerie as the air would go from quite warm ( for a winter night) to freezing cold in a matter of steps!
The 3ferrets (Jnr cachers) had fun exploring and spooking each other. Fav point. Tfth

Ohhhh my godddd!!! After never having done a multi or a night cache before we fumbled around for an hour working how to input co ords... only to figured out you can do it via the app... duh. Amazing cache. Favourite from us.

My very first night cache with the tritonz

A very well constructed cache

Thanks for the hunt.
Fav point added.

Wanting to do a nightcache while staying up here on holidays , we chose this one due to the favourite points. Headed across from Maitland after dinner in the company of Tack123 armed with our torches we worked our way through the waypoints , enjoying the different approach to this nightcache. We loved the final , excellent well themed cache that finished off the multi on a good note. Another favourite point well deserved.
Thanks Billy&Jad for the fun tonight.

With a milestone in sight. This seemed like a logical choice. As suggested we chose to give this a crack after nightfall. Probably could have done without the rain, but hey it made it even more enjoyable to see Cloger find the puddle at the gate in the worst possible way... FP from me.Thanks for your efforts Billy&Jad and TFTC

Nite find in the cemetery as suggested. No ghosts haha. Gets a favourite for the cache.

Revisited with friends as this is one of our best ever and we had raved about it.
Love the quirky ones.
All is in order

TFTC yet again
