Any concerns were logged with COs.Thanks for giving us another memorable adventure to add to our trip. Well be on the lookout for more caches as we continue exploring.More adventures ahead!Kind regards,C10Appel

Fancy there being two Lutheran cemeteries in the same town! We did wonder about this as we drove.We had a lovely drive out in the country on our way back to Canberra via Wagga Wagga and Woop Woop This was one of the geocaches that we found along the way. Thanks for the cache, haveanez!* * * * * * *I was geocaching in Albury/Wodonga for the weekend with DARKSIDEDAN and C10A.I added over 100 finds to my previous total over the weekend!

Thank you for putting it there

We couldnt find it

We were beginning to think it must be very close to Christmas - so many caches just waiting to be found to the north of Wangaratta. Together with our caching buddies Suscoe we found a variety of puzzles, multi's and trads on a great day of caching together. Cemeterys are always fascinating.Thanks to haveanez for hiding caches in interesting locations. 36156

Suscoe headed out today with our very good friends Phetlern to see if we could find a range of caches.We headed up through Howlong, and then to Jindera, Ettamogah and back into Albury before heading back to Wangaratta.We found lots of caches and had a great time travelling through the area with our friends.Thanks to haveanez for this cemetery visit. Most interesting.

Nice and easy find

It was nice and easy

Find number 11434 at 1:08:49 pm on Friday the 27 January 2023
Visiting friends in Wodonga and we came out to Jindera today to visit the museum and what a great museum it is, loved the wander around. Time for a few geocaches as well
Our friends are of German descent and so this was a slow wander around before we found this cache, many surnames were familiar and recognizable.
**Thanks for placing this cache haveanez**

Had a bit of free time so checked out which caches were nearby. I lived in the area many years ago, but don't think I've ever visited this cemetery.
The cache was a bit damp inside, so let it dry our whole I ate my lunch.

Cann Clan loved this one, Mr9yo found it! TFTC

Catching up on some very old logs from the mega. Found while out with Di Morgan. It was great to spend the day caching with friends and finding some great hides. Many a laugh and fun was had.
Thanks for placing this hide for us to find.

Albury. Day2
Camped at the SSA club
This morning we spent the morning caching with Happy Feet1. We headed north to Jindera to do the AL & other caches that we passed. This was a really interesting way to visit this area
Thanks for placing your cache.

After doing the new Adventure Lab and Bonus, we headed to this Cemetery to put our mark in the log book. A little wet under foot, but otherwise deserted. SL at 1.20pm Left: our new Christmas pathtag. #9134 TFTC haveanez

While in the area and with a bit of free time, we picked up a few caches.
Very enjoyable traveling this road, with some great scenery.
Caches found in good condition. Signed and replaced.
Many thanks for placing this cache, haveanez, for us and others to find.

We continued from the last cache and headed towards Jindera. We noticed one we hadn't got. Down a dirt road with pot holes and water across the road we made it to the Cemetery. It was a squishy, wet walk to grab the cache.

The cache was nice and dry considering all the rain we have had. A quick find as the co ords were accurate. No snakes but plenty of puddles. A quick look around and we were on our way home. Thanks haveanez for another great hide.

A bit wet out here but a quick find TFTC

A quick drive by on our weekend adventuring in Albury & surrounds! Caches are loaded up for a day of exploring & glad to tick another one off the list. This one was a great little spot to visit & spend time looking at the old gravestones. Tftc! ️

The first day of looking I didn’t find anything but then today I came back and with my dad and sister and we found it after I figured out there was a hint button haha anyway great spot I logged and put a homemade bracelet in for the next person to find (ps there was nothing else in the container besides the log book) but super fun!

TFTC. Day 11 of our enforced layover in Albury as the Motorhome gets repairs. Looks like we will be here for another week.
We left Wodonga this morning heading out to Gerogery, Walla Walla and Jindera. A good loop,in country we have not traversed previously. We found 26 caches so a good day exploring.

Cache find no:13634

Quick find, but was greeted with a bird flying straight over my head ! Quick wonder around the cemetery then on to the next. Tftc !

Thanks for the cache haveanez

Our for a cache or two with the girls this afternoon. This was a quick find in a quiet area I didn’t know was there.

I thought I was losing the plot when I looked at the app and see no smilie on this cache. I know I visited there. I am certain I visited there. Yes, I did sign that log. I was with my daughter Groover1989. I'm not losing it. Old one archived. All questions answered. Thank you haveanez for placing a new one out here. Cache found in good condition, and I actually came across the original one to which I disposed of as requested by the CO.

Easy!

Out caching with the CO and swung past here to sign the log for the 2nd time. Tftc.

Be prepared to look like a Christmas tree :3

Try not step on the grave

Found it! Super easy one for all the family.

A run around the NSW side of the border today, quick find here. How many cemeteries does this place have? Good to see a cache at them all though.

Thanks haveanez for entertaining me at this location.

Nicely hidden. Helenoftroy

Needed to take a quick drive out of town. Activity log indicates no. Nice day out. Thanks "L" for cache placement which is in good condition.

Ich fand das ziemlich einfach, als Snap Happy und ich auf dem Friedhof herumwanderten und nach einer kurzen Suche bald den Cache in der Hand hatten. This area reminds me of another smaller Lutheran cemetery not far from my in-law's farm in the Wimmera and clearly the Germans had a large role in opening up and settling parts of regional Australia for farming. Thanks haveanez for highlighting this easily overlooked part of town and the hide. Actually once l had spotted the cache and got a hand to it l felt a strange little bump on the container under one of my fingers and Snap Happy watching on calmly remarked, drop it... not being one to ask why l simply let go of the container and the biggest, hairiest huntsman spider l have ever seen had decided to make it self at home on the cache. As l squealed and danced on the spot with my arms flailing about l think l may of trod on the cache guardian in that moment of sheer panic but l didn't want to find out and quickly stamped the log and left the area. If cemetery caching isn't creepy enough throw in that and that was enough for me to go wandering through any further final resting places today.

Out caching with the kids today. Easy find but when Daddy pulled it out it was covered with a very BIG spider...eek!
The kids left a little toy lion.

Quick find for the second time.Picked up Flower,red roseTB.TFTC

9891 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1045. On our way to Corowa for the weekend to a family gathering. We had to find a cache or 2 as we travelled. SL Tnx haveaez.

I find it amazing Jindera has four cemeteries but it's great for my love of cemeteries and esp those with caches. Notice here every grave is feet to the east so in effect they are all looking at the morning sun as it rises. Nice hide, TFTC

South NSW trip February 2021. Day 1. Fitzy_1965 joined me for a two day jaunt to Albury and the area to the West north of the River. We covered a lot of ground, but as we have done a lot of caching between home and there it has become the next area to spend caching time. There was a variety of caches scattered around, but the most interesting section was Monday morning spent in the Quatta Reserve, quite a few challenging caches and a wasp sting to remember it by.

Thanks for the cache haveanez

23,614. Found during a caching run to break-in albida33's brand new Geomobile.

With a brand new Geomobile to test out, albida33 and I headed down the Hume cherry-picking caches filling in many gaps on our maps. Next stop for the day. We headed to GZ where it was a nice quick park and walk and find of the nicely hidden cache. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next one on our list.

Thanks haveanez !!

Coming from a Lutheran background, it was very interesting to walk around the cemetery and look at some good old Lutheran names, Briese, Schmidt, Scholz, Schulz etc etc ... quick find at GZ, TFTC haveanez and a step back in time

Cache found pretty easily, nice and quiet place thats for sure!. Logbook needs some loving but everything else looks to be okay. Thanks for the hide.

Found it quickly, very interesting to read all the names

we walked through and read over the names of the graves, making sure of course to be respectful

We found it and payed our respects while there

Well I actually found both the old cache first, signed that log then when returning saw the newer cache. Extracted it from its hiding place signed log and collected TB. Nice quiet place to visit, thanks.

TFTC. Signed and returned.

A lovely small cemetery to walk around. Some graves are from the early 1800’s.
A quick and easy find with Matho64.
Dropped a Holiday Tree TB here. TFTC

Another cemetery today
A quick easy find with Jackez74 TFTC

After a bit of a day hiking around in circles up in the mountains yesterday, we were looking for an afternoon out with a bit less hiking and a bit more air conditioned comfort in the soccer mum car....
After feeling up on packets of chips at the servo in town, we whizzed out here for a bit of a look.
Dad went solo as the ladies were looking at a few puzzles, that and both of them had a foot injury....so off I went across the newly mowed lawns to GZ where I was pleased to make a quick find and sign.
I am always a bit freaked in an old cemetery wondering if I am stepping on someone....
Nice and quiet here today.

Sick cache try not to step on the grave

The sheep were very vocal about my visit to the cemetery today. A quick retrieval at GZ!

Found 15:50 19/9/20 while visiting family. Nice to see some colourful flowers around. Thank you haveanez for the cache and bringing me to this location.

Time to drop off a TB that has been travelling with us

Found

Only have 3 calendar holes between now and the end of the year but with the border closed I need to be strategic about where I go. This was a convenient one that I have saved for such a day. Last time I visited we saw a brown snake in the cemetery but no chance of that today. The dog ploughed through the water whereas I skirted around the puddles. Quick find at Gz - copped a face full of pollen though. A bit disconcerting to see your own signature from 2017 but logged again and hole filled.

TFTC haveanez

Another calendar hole filled with this revisited cache.
Took muggle hubby along for the find and we took the time to stroll around the cemetery and look at the older headstones. A great piece of history. Thanks Haveanez for reinstating this cache

Ok we went back there and signed our names again. Thought it was familiar.

A day out and a few caches. First cab off the rank and a quick find. Cache OK.

Whoever goes for FTF just note that this cache has just been relisted after accidental archive, so the original cache and log book is still in there. Feel free to remove the old log sheets as I forgot.

Published

Sitting down with a cool beverage after doing a days work in the garden, I decided to check my emails. I saw that a new cache had been published so I checked it out. Saw that a FTF was up for grabs, and having got the previous cache in the same location Geo wife and I decided to head out and grab it again. Arrived at gz and Geo wife soon had the cache.

2TF. A close one to home and so it was a quick find before heading to work.
I'm thinking the previous hide here might of been placed for the Mega when it was held in Albury, so it is good to see this one back up again.
Arrived at GZ but it was a bit too dark to take in the area and appreciate the burial ground, so it was off to look for the hide. No dramas in the search, and surprised to be pipped for the FTF.
SL at 5.45pm. Cache all good.
It was good to revisit here, I'll come back next when there's a bit more light. TFTC haveanez.
