I wasn't a fan the first time, just made llots of stupid mistakes, and confused the two puzzles here. Did the same again today. Sigh. Might be getting to old for this! Found with the Bromance on a recent trip to a local legend. Thanks for the cache.

With a planned bromance road trip to Warwick today to search for the worlds oldest concrete arch dam, I spent a slack Friday afternoon at work looking at what local caches deserved a visit. I missed these two two multi's at the cemetery on my last trip here, so I was keen to grab them today. With the hiking and exploring completed, we returned to Warwick for some lunch, but decided to grab these two multi's first. Somehow we were missing one clue here after our walk around, so we made use of the checksum to derive it. With LKA 001under our belt, we headed for the calculated final for this one. After a decent search in what we through were obvious spots, we began to doubt our calculations, despite the final location being a good spot to hide a cache. So Seffnjarah wandered off, found the missing clue and and confirm our final coordinates. Eventually, Seff brushed aside the spiders nests and webs and made the find - about 5 metres to the west of where we were searching (but still perfectly acceptable regarding coordinate accuracy.) Time for lunch. All in good order here. Thanks FelixII Pete#8,141

In Warwick today for scruffy geocaching, hiding, and a pedicure How the heck did I miss that prev? And the redback was not happy to see me again. TFTC Felix II

Another cacher was in town a few days ago, and after coffee she advised me she could not find this cache. As I was doing a maintenance run in the area, I called in to check on LKA - 001 Warwick, and found it exactly where it was the last time I looked. All good here FelixII

The shrubs are looking shabby in patches. I'll not increase that shabbiness.

A cacher is in town, so coffee is in order. He advised he could not find this cache, so we drove out before meeting him. Well, cache is there, but not where it was when it was first placed. We returned it to the exact spot originally used by cache owner.Advised cacher, he returned and found the cache.

Part of an early morning stroll around this place. No luck first up, but returned to claim the prize after a coffee with the local cache caretakers.

Warwick Day 2This morning we headed to Leslie Dam a spot we have camped many times, then worked our way back into town looking for caches.After lunch we plotted a trip around town picking up many AL & caches as well.We went to mnany interesting location & found some very good caches.Thanks FelixII for hiding this cache.

Heading to QLD from WA picking up a few LGAs on the way. Thanks COs for placing and maintaining

It took some time to visit all the waypoints and collect the information required, but the checksum told us we were looking good. At GZ we completely missed it the first time we looked and spent quite some time looking nearby. No luck there so returned to the initial spot and there it was!Our final full day in Warwick so we took some time to check out the Jumper and Jazz Festival activities as well as finding some remaining caches in town. Neither of us are really into jazz, but there was some good music at the town hall. The knitted and crocheted decorations throughout the town were quite spectacular and the sheer magnitude of them amazing.In the afternoon we took the tourist train out to Hendon and back, an enjoyable ride.Out thanks to all the local COs for some good caching and great locations, and especially Dunmowin for the local tour and hospitality. We have enjoyed ourselves.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache FelixII.**SKI Pair****

Travelling north today we stopped off at the Warwick cemetery to so the multies. We always enjoy a walk around the cemetery, gathered the information required and made a quick find at GZ.Cache and contents were in good condition.Many thanks FelixII for your cache placement.

FelixII I found your cache LKA - 001 Warwick on 8/5/2024, 10:50AM. This is my find 6621 and find # 7 today. Gathered all the required information and got the okay from the checksum. Took a while to locate the cache but I did find it. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

I really enjoy visiting cemeteries and reading the history. And this multi was very interesting. After walking the different sections and collecting the relevant data it was time to calculate the GZ coords. Except I had written down an answer incorrectly so had to backtrack. Once at GZ it took awhile to find the cache. Firstly some visitors near GZ and then the actually find took us awhile. But at last the find was made by Mrs Ambayu. TFTC very enjoyable.

On the way home I decided to grab this cache. At placement I gather the information then I needed to find GZ. The cache was found and sign.FelixII thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for enjoyment of the caching community.

In the area for a few days to attend Squishys GIFF event and do some caching.Had a great time at the event yesterday and now I'm caching around Warwick today before heading home.I'm warming to multis and do like to have a wander around cemeteries so I did both multis simultaneously here. Was expecting something different at the final so it took longer than it should have. Thankful I packed the container of pokey things as it seemed to be high density accommodation for bitey things!Across the road is a memorial to the men on the Dungarees recruitment march.TFTC

Touring about collecting D/Ts and LGAs thanks for the placement & upkeep on this great wee multi.

Out with Muggle65 to get a multi today. Thank you for the fun

Enjoyed our wander around the cemetery while collecting our answers. Glad there were checksums.
Took us longer to find the cache than it should have.
All good here.
Thank you.

Signed and replaced took me longer than normal but good caching friend helped
Thank you, FelixII, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Well! What a way to spend a day in Warwick. I had an interesting morning prowling around the cemetery, getting details, checking & re-checking! Ah-Hah! That looks like a likely candidate for a Cache. Thanks for an interesting morning!

Adventurous find love it

A day of caching with the notorious Peppa; it was supposed to be around the Warwick area. Well we ended up with a bite to eat and a drive through Warwick at the end of the day, ahh there is always another day.
It is always a fun day and the plan is usually out the window by the first cache. Today was no different and an educational one for both of us. Peppa’s wisdom and visions are always welcomed and my silliness just seems to make us laugh (yes I can see you laughing on the inside Peppa) just creates for a fun day.
Last time we cached together it was all about Peppa, I will admit today was all about me, lol, even though our first cache was one I had already done and only his lordship required.

I signed the log and replaced the cache as found thanks for the hide.

ARF seemed quite happy to indulge my love of cemeteries even though multi caches he despises. These were both informative and interesting and the meandering to locate the required information was rather pleasant. All in all a multi we both enjoyed for once! Well done to you!!!

Interesting walk amongst the headstones. Interesting to see the religious segregation in play and spot the planted rellie. But enough about the sightseeing, came to find a multi.

Most of the information was quickly acquired. After a brief math adjustment, had a set of coords that looked good. There were no plantings underway so had the area to search with interruption. And a quick find was had. Now onto the second multi, thanks FelixII.

After a great weekend in the Stanthorpe and Girraween area, it’s time to head home. Can’t help myself and stopped at a few more on the way.
I didn’t have time for this one yesterday so came back to finish the job. Collected the required numbers and headed to GZ. All good with this one. Tftc FelixII

Wow it was hot today. I had partially completed this multi on my last visit to the area which thankfully reduced our time in the sun. The plan was to do the other multi as well but it will have to wait until a cooler day. The rest of the day was spent in the cool of the car picking up AdLabs. TFTC FelixII

This weekend, an overnighter at Girraween National Park was planned with the aim to tackle Mount Norman. An early start on Saturday had me attend Warwick parkrun and visit Warwick, Leslie Dam, Stanthorpe, and then Girraweeen to walk to Underground Creek. On Sunday, it was a walk/hike through Girraween's south vicinity visiting Mount Norman, Castle Rock, and Turtle Rock, before venturing across the NSW border, and then heading northwards via Ballandean and Stanthorpe, detouring past the *Elementary* series and *Stan's Apple* series.

Today, my plan was starting out the day with Warwick parkrun at 07:00 hr, and subsequent geocaching within the Warwick area. I also visited Leslie Dam which was a nice picnic spot, before then detouring back through Warwick for a late breakfast, and continued my onwards journey south along the New England Highway to Stanthorpe. I found a few of the *Snow Flakes* granite geocaches, partially conducted the *Fruit Run*, drove east past Stanthorpe Airport finding some of the *Stan's Apple* geoart, before then visiting Mt Marley and Quart Pot Creek. We then took a late afternoon walk in Girraween National Park to Underground Creek, before establishing our campsite for the night.

The Warwick cemetery multi-caches was the first time that I had encountered Last Known Address (LKA) series geocaches. I didn't mind the idea of these, and I appreciated the theme that connected each of the waypoints together (military/young), but there was a lot of switching between LKA 001 and LKA 002 whilst navigating my way around. The multi-cache took a while to complete, but upon my first attempt I had reasonable set of coordinates, and the cache was a quick find at GZ. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks FelixII for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

The completed this in tandem with the other multi and made a quick find at GZ. Thanks for the fun FelixII

Tftc Felix11, we woke up too early this morning, may have something to do with a recent border crossing.
Needed to spend some time so as not to arrive at our next overnight stop too early.

Parked up and did both the multi's here.
Found all the required information with no trouble.
Got the right number for the checksum so off to GZ.
All good with the cache. Spot in co ords.
Fave point for the effort put into these 2 multi.

In 2022 we reached our Finds for Each Day of the Year loop for the third time around. 2023, our target is 7. We are on the way.

Today was a day when we had to cache to help with this challenge. Thanks FelixII for helping us with this challenge by placing chaches in the Warwick area. For this we give you a favourite point

After collecting info without a hitch for the other multi we really came unstuck on this one!!! Maybe the warming up of the day was getting to us but after a PAF we were able to head in the right direction and eventually be able to sign the log. Now back into town for morning tea and recovery!!!

Out and about today caching around Warwick, looking for the hidden caches. Found and signed log. TFTC

Found this one with graceygirl1234 after staying in Stanthorpe and Warwick. Coordinates for waypoints were good and easy to get the required information. Checksum calculated correctly so we knew we were on the right track!. Cache eventually found after reading some past logs and reading between the lines, which meant after 5-10 minutes of looking and thinking, the logbook was signed. TFTC

Haven't had a chance to cache for a while, so decided to head out and find a few.
Also my geodog Scruffy wanted to do some caching as well

Relaxing walk round the cemetery on a cool December morning ... yep it's summer here I think ?? [?]
Anyway, once the wind died down a bit so I could read the page with my cat-scratching on it, Scruff and I found what we were looking for (well I found it - as usual) , signed and back where it should be. [^]

All Good .. TFTC ..

Well Felix11 if only you could have seen us walking around like headless chooks,for some strange reason Mr Suelee was walking around the wrong section of the cemetery. However eventually we had log in hand, Thanks Felix11 for this multi

With Snickersallan on the way to our Lincoln Bomber expedition.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here FelixII. Lots of help from our friend.

A long awaited trip up from the Gold Coast to meet up with geo friends for a weekend of caching in and around the district.
Always enjoy cemetery caches and reading the headstones, especially the very early ones.
This was special to me being an ex-service person (Navy) and it made spotting the information quicker for me due to recognising the emblems.

Thanks FelixII, this was a beaut multi to do with E_Smiley and found after searching in the wrong area at first then finally with a PAF we had cache in hand

Before being joined by all of Davinells, Snickersallan & E_Smiley for a couple of nights at Queen Mary Falls I got to spend the day in Warwick hunting the new caches, a couple of archived caches and anything else that I stepped over (read: made a huge detour to find)…

I drove through the cemetery multiple times today, but that a longer story…

I really enjoyed this multi… it’s well constructed, and made me pay attention to the details that sometimes you’d overlook… I imagine the “find-a-grave” crowd might struggle here too…

At GZ I spent way to long looking in the natural features, before a single word from a previous log moved my search area a couple of metres, and there was the cache…

Tftc… LKA indeed…

Quick find after completing the walk to gather the required answers

TFTC

I was here on the 27/7 and got all the numbers, came to the area where it was saying to go to search in a lot of areas because of the size I was looking for something smaller and possibly hanging. But had to say I was defeated on that day, did not record a DNF because it was newbie.

Came back with the wife and I am sure I checked all that area but obviously I did not. If you come in the next few days you will see where I had ran my hands etc along. This was before the 1st yo find was recorded.

Yesterday I came here but there were people visiting love ones. Did a quick search due to the comment made by the first finder but missed it.

A local cache told me this afternoon that they found it but did not sign the log because they are friends with the owner I believe, most likely will sign it another day. She told me there was a hint placed after the first to find. Because I had not rebooted my phone lately I could not see it. Once rebooted I was able to see the hint.

I left work came here again and took a few extra steps saw where I obviously have not searched for whatever reason and there it was not as small as what I was looking for. Anyway the log is signed and I am the 2nd to log and sign but 3rd to find.

Dirty with myself on missing the first to find.

*FTF* around 12pm today.
I arrived in Warwick early today to preside at St Marks to help out my old friend Rev Lizzie.
After that, it was time to check out the markets and of course do some caching while my EV made use of the fast charger in town.
I could hardly believe my luck to see an FTF up for grabs, so I came running over and made my way around with interest in this very well-maintained resting ground.
The GZ looked good but I could make no progress.
Many thanks to the CO for help. I must have actually touched the hide at one point but discounted it.
Oh well, we’re all good now.
TFTC with a gentle warning for arachnophobes that this one may need a friend to accompany you.
