Found It!
I think today is the first time I've ever been to Stockinbingal. Spotted the cache after a short search then just had to work out how to get it out. Eventually I just put my hand all the way in while hoping there was nothing in there that would bite me! Thankfully there wasn't!

Heading home for some lock down fun with the family, I decided to get as many GA caches as I could for the battleships game. TFTC

Today I am travelling between Griffith and Yass doing a couple of GCA caches plus some faved GC caches. This one was on the list I can pull up at with a caravan on tow.

Pulling up here today I was stopped by a local man who will probably take up residence here not too far off. At first I thought this might be a bushranger series cache so I told him I was looking for the grave of a bushranger. Big mistake because he was born and bred here and knows every grave and wasn't shy to tell me all about it. I eventually got away and took a wander around looking at headstones and misspelling and eventually arrived to this cache. I was so glad to see a pen in there because the local fellow had distracted me when I got out of the car.

Out for a drive with just a cacher and we decided to drop in and grab a cache or two as we passed by.

A quick grab here and then on our way.

Thanks for the cache Sol de lune

Quick find here with Black Bunny. What a pleasant day for a drive and a few short walks. Thanks for this one, Sol!

Quick find although a little difficult to extract. Cache OK

#GA3991 - 10:20; Out for a day of caching with Sol de lune, albida33 and Smittengranny and headed for the 'History of Temora Tour' series of caches further to the west. After a couple of stops around Binalong, it was time to add another ICEM find as we passed through Stockinbingal. Not sure what it is about cachers and cemeteries, but I added another such visit in order to claim this cache today. TFTC Sol de lune

I joined a trip to Temora with Smitten Granny, Sol de Lune and Lucky L10n to get the HOTT caches out that way. We had a great day with pretty good success. There was a smoke haze about all day but it did not affect our caching.

Thanks
Albida

Out with a fantastic group of fellow cachers to find as many caches as possible. This was one of our finds for the day and I am really happy to see the colours change on my map. I was travelling with LuckyL10n, Albida and Sol de Lune so caches that required signing were signed as LASS and then replaced as found. Thanks LuckyL10N for your company and humorous quips, Albida for driving and SDL for the organisation, leadership and inviting me along.

We were making our way from Hay to Cootamundra today, caching along the way. After spending some time in Temora doing the virtual and history caches there we moved on to search for this one. We made our way to GZ and then made a quick find with the aid of good coordinates and the hint. TFTC

All caches were found sometime between 5:49am Friday 2nd and 6:28pm Sunday 4th November.

I’ve been invited to attend a special event in Wollongong on the Saturday, well why not make it a whole weekend away with some caching to go along with it. About a month ago I started looking at caches I could find along the way and noticed that if things go to plan I could make my #1000. This didn’t end up happening. I found out when I approached the GZ’s of a few of the caches I had chosen didn’t have parking space to stop and/or were difficult to find which lead some caches into DNF’s. I did however love finding all the caches I did find and to end on an even happier note the last cache I found was a FTF (GA13111)!!! There were lots of great camos and styles of hides that I hadn’t come across before and new styles for common hides that provided me with plenty of fun and ideas for new caches. Most of the caches I found were in great condition but for the rest of them, the maintenance required is log books/sheets and/or containers need replacing, camo needs replacing, D/T and coordinates need correcting. On some of the smaller logs I signed as 2/11 JM, 3/11 JM and 4/11 JM. TB visit on all found caches over the whole weekend. I would like to thank all CO’s for the caches I found, the locations I visited and for the fun it provided me over the whole weekend!
Weekend totals:
45 Finds (41 Groundspeak and 4 GCA)
4 DNF’s and a lot of drive-bys
Cache Types: 7 (Trad, Virtual, Mystery, WherIGo, Trig-Point, Earth and Multi)

*FTF* @ 5:51pm on 4 November 2018
I was looking at my daily email from GCA this morning and noticed a new cache in Stockinbingal. As I was on my way home I thought I would stop and have a look and see if I could make a FTF. After pulling up at the cemetery, I got out and headed over to GZ to make the find with the hope of a blank log. After finding the cache I opened the log sheet and I couldn't believe it, a blank log. After signing duties were done I made my way back to the car. I will need to return when I have more time to be able to have a look around and see the graves. TFTC and the FTF!!!

P.S. Sorry about the generic log.
P.S.S. All Caches found have been logged in order and backtracked to the correct day.
