This one keeps going missing so I will archive the cache and leave the space for someone else to use.

Staying in Creswick for a few days

Today I was heading to Corowa (NSW) to catch up with family and too attend the Beechworth GC Event.

An interesting area.
I did the sums and then made my wat to GZ only to find it infested with a hive of bees Ummmm - I will give it a miss this time round and try again when next in the area.

My sincerest thanks Keeper of Time for the cache and for bringing me here. Thanks to caches like this, I have seen many beautiful and interesting areas around this fantastic area

Cache on!

Replaced cache, the sisters and mothers are waiting for cachers to visit.

Day 4 of the Melbourne Mega Mission with Sol de lune and we were now headed for Canberra after a successful few days of caching. Like the outward journey, today's focus was on a few GCA caches before we reached the Hume Highway and made a beeline for home. This was to be our final stop as we had set ourselves a deadline, which was now starting to slip. Reached the posted coords and gathered the required information for our calculations. I haven't seen anything quite like this, despite visiting a few cemeteries on cache hunts over recent months. Our workings put us over the fence in a nearby paddock, so we searched the obvious feature nearby and located a GC Trad instead. Tried a few more things before the steady rain and the need to hit the road again caused us to abandon the hunt for today. I'll certainly be back to try again when I'm next in these parts. Thanks anyway Keeper of Time

Arrived at GZ and stated the calculations. No problems we thought and we headed off....only to find our co-ords put us over the fence. Went back and re-checked and although there was another number we could use, it made little difference to the co-ords we already had.

We checked the a couple of other nearby locations, found the GC cache, but nothing else. Went back to the other end to check a location there, but alas nothing could be found there either. With the rain getting heavier, we decided it was time to head off and continue the drive towards home.

Not sure where we went wrong....but alas, it's a DNF for us. Thanks anyway KoT....

Cache had been replaced in a new location.

As we were passing through Kyneton today we thought we would stop and look for this cache. Had an enjoyable time walking around and counting then calculating. However when we arrived at GZ no cache was to be found. As south co ordinate was provided we checked all options for the east and still no cache container. The area is very open so this cache may have disappeared or we may just be very cache blind. Worth a check by the cache owner.

Good one, I loved the clues for this. TFTC.

Back up and running with a smaller container.

I will check on the cache condition soon.

I am very familiar with this cemetery having grown up in the area.
I also made a previous visit here to do the GC cache.
Back today in company and this little multi was soon all wrapped up.
Thanks Keeper of Time

Seeing the title of the cache (and having spent a fair bit of time in the area this morning), I was expecting the cache to start at the strangely marked grave near the gate. I had the wrong group obviously.
Our counts were made, then the figures fiddled a bit, and we were off to GZ.
A bit of stuffing around in the bushes, and the cache was in had (not by me though)
Thanks, Robmc.

A nice end to a great day - we would have missed this one if the owner hadn't reminded us of it. Calculations required some adjustments and then a battle was waged with the foliage to get to the cache. I think we can both claim victory. No exchanges but TFTC

OOps, now I can't remember what I was going to write since I had visited this area some 10 months ago.
Anyways, came to do some caching with Robmc and Lady Morris. We completed the long GC multi, but was unable to log the cache.
This one we had more success with. I wasn't thinking that it was referring to this specific group of people.
Thanks to the Keeper of Time.

Found by Team Ladava around 5.30 pm (Too late to do 'Indulging Mary' but we managed to fit in this one as the light started to fade.)
I guess we didn’t know what to expect from the cache notes but a fascinating subject for a cache. Certainly a worthy cache to celebrate the Geocaching 10th Anniversary
I had printed out the early version of the notes but like my predecessor ‘winged it’ for a find of the promised magnificent piece of cache engineering.

Out thanks to Keith & Jill for adding this cache to the GCA cache pool and bringing us to this fascinating feature.
Cheers

Again...a bitterly cold wet miserable day.
But..went caching anyway. You have to grab them when you can!
Doing a bit of a tour of the area picking off caches iv'e been meaning to get to in the past.
I'm leaving the Induging Mary cache till I get a print out of the waypoints to work with. Too many waypoints for me to handle without a proper set of notes.

Having checked the calculations C@W was half right and half wrong. The original calculation was not correct (now corrected), but his suggestion for the formaula while very (very) close, is not quite what it should have been. Thanks C@W for letting me know.

A very cold multi cache to be heading to today, but hey getting out there and about is all part of the fun. GabGab decided it was too cold (as did her mother) so I was on my own today.
I collected the clues from WP1 and WP2 (not at all what I was expecting and it was an interesting surprise) and headed off to GZ.
At GZ I was a little confused as there was nothing there. I may have fat fingered the co-ords. I took a walk along the appropriate straight line to the most obvious location and then found the cache.
I ended up at 4B(A+B) being GZ rather than 4C(A+B), so I'm not sure whether I did anything wrong. Maybe it was just a bad moment for my GPS.
Anyway the cache was found and a jolly good cache it is too. A beauty. That's what I love to find.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Keeper of Time for this cache experience and location today. It was bitterly cold, but I stayed on to complete Indulging Mary as well. I must be mad.

*FTF* at 2pm.

The two year old daughter and I decided to make this our "Round up a few unfound 10 Year Anniversary caches" day. So, with the weather on our side and the toys packed we headed out. This was the last of a few we found.
I love a cemetery cache! I have a few my self. They are always interesting to visit and this one was no exception. As always I wish I had more time to linger but a fractious 2yo meant a quick find then back in the car for the trip home (she slept all the way).
I really like the thought that you put into the cache names. I'm always thinking "what's that about?" until the penny drops.

Took: Giraffe + FTF certificate but left the FTF prize for someone else. Left: Glittery skull Pathtag + snakes + frog.

Thanks Keeper of Time for showing me something I'd never seen in a cemetery before.
