As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

Did not find after a good look around with geopartner. I notice this has not been found for over 12 months. I think it should be archived awaiting check. I live in the general area and drive past every day. I'd be happy to adopt it if needs be.
 
11-Apr-13
We had a good look around ,but being careful not to disturb too much on these old grave sites.
 
15-Feb-13
Hey Scotty & Lochie, can you please check that your little nano is still in place. Would not be good if Cachers were all over this grave site for no reason, thanks
 
Two of us spent about 20mins looking with no luck - will be back to try this one again!
 
25-Apr-12
Driving on our last day in Tasmania from Geeveston back to Hobart.
This took a very long time on this damp morning. Scoured around and around the grave looking for the magnetic nano. Eventually found it but use was not being made of its magnetic properties. Replaced as found.
Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #7097

I have always lived the graveyard. TFTC
 
23-Feb-12
Took a while and had to go back and read the logs which gave us a clue as to the size we should have been looking for. With that information the cache was soon in hand. Thanks.

Nice

Greeted fellow residents and the 3 resident peacocks/hens at the top of the hill. Tftc

Got this one on our way back from the Dragon's Lair event - thanks scotty&lochie this was an interesting little stop. Left a new log scroll.

Found on our way back towards Hobart after missing it on the way south. Interesting place. TFTC
 
30-Dec-11
The log is completely full and needs replacing. Sorry that we didn't have something appropriate with us.
 
29-Dec-11
A very prominent location for a cemetery - we wondered if there once a church on the site as well. A quick find - thankfully - as there was a dead animal in the immediate vicinity and it wasn't too pleasant. The log is completely full and needs replacing. Sorry that we didn't have something appropriate with us. TFTC scotty&lochie
 
13-Dec-11
Took us some time as we were searching for the wrong size. TFTC

Noticed this little cemetery yesterday and stopped today to have a look and grab the nanocache. Relatively easy find and some very old graves there. It's so steep, did they have to bury people standing up? Thanks for the cache.

Found and logged together with Triaden1 .

Nice old place here , stopped on the upper side and strolled slowly down . The cache was a quick find - thanks for the hide .
 
28-Oct-11
Had some grave concerns about this one, but turned out to be an easy find.
 
28-Oct-11
Interesting little grave yard, I think I would prefer facing downhill instead of uphill. Sincere thanks to John and Mary.
 
20-Sep-11
Found by touring team member C. TFTC!
 
18-Sep-11
Found with Tassie Trekkers while caching in the area. An interesting grave yard that looks like it might be slipping down the bank. TFTC.
 
18-Sep-11
Found with whitewebbs on our "Down South" caching holiday, Geocachers are probably the only visitors John and Mary get. Thanks for showing us this historical graveyard. TFTC
 
17-Sep-11
A nice place to have a long rest, but not at night.
 
11-Sep-11
First find during my two week geocaching holiday here in the apple isle. Loving it.
 
24-Jul-11
It was after 11am when we stopped at GZ and I was surprised to see that there was still a thick layer of frost on the ground. A slippery walk to collect the cache. TFTC!
 
24-Jul-11
Missed the parking bay and had to turn around. Got tooted at by impatient muggle! TFTC
 
17-Jul-11
Found with Mast ET. Log a little damp and nearly full

Even in the dark, this was a great road-side find. We used the stairs and paid our repects. Thanks for showing us this place.
 
17-Apr-11
This was a gem of a resting place on the side of a busy road. Still was interesting to see the old stone work for stairs. Had me walking a few circles before I spotted this jem in the corner.

Called in to find the cache on our way to Hobart.
Thanks.

Said "hello" to the Burslem's. TFTC

Remarkably we found this one in the dark. Wasn't expecting to find it due to its size but we were driving past and had a go. The hint certainly helped. TFTC.
 
21-Feb-11
Ah, we sure do like cemetery caches, especially old ones. Thanks for bringing us here. We thought the stairs up were very quaint, and the little pathway, cute too. Didn't take us long to find the cache, although we did circle the friendly couple one and a half times. Took care on the stairs. Great! Thanks for placing the cache here.

Did this the hard way and slipped and slid down the slope.
 
08-Jan-11
This was a quick find on our way back into Hobart. Of course as the Chief struggled with rerolling the log it started to rain. TFTC, old cemeteries are always interesting.
 
07-Jan-11
Found on our way back from Tahune with the family, Earthbound Control, including the Chief. TFTC

Kids were fascinated with the spot

This is a fascinating graveyard and so close to the highway.
I parked close and didn't realise that I was after a nano until I found it.
Not many places to hide anything bigger here, that's for sure.
Thanks
 
13-Nov-10
I had forgotten about this being here. found it interstering that it was still being used in the 70's
TFTC
 
01-Nov-10
Have always looked at this graveyard but never bothered to stop in all the times I have travelled past. Didn't realise it was as old as it is. Thanks for making me stop at this wonderful place. Cache was located quickly. TFTC
 
11-Oct-10
Decided to grab this one on a southward leg of the Troublesome Tassie Tour, this probably not the best way to do it as it saw us having to cross a busy highway.
An interesting little ceremony that we would have otherwise missed if not for caching. Another find to the geoQueen from skullracer1.

#647 @ 1.25pm on our Tassie Caching Adventure with DazzPete. We were heading southward to camp at Cockle Beach for a couple of nights and were picking up the close caches on the way down - this one would have been better picked up on the way back north. Nevertheless we made it unscathed over the road and arrived at GZ - top site with much history.

TNLNSL TFTC - thanks for bringing us to this location [^]
 
27-Jul-10
Took a couple of minutes to find,but finally got it. TFTC

Found with bedmaker after a little searching. TFTC
 
25-Jul-10
Found with TassieGirl13. We stopped here on our way back to Hobart.
It was TG who had her caching eyes on this afternoon and found this one.
I looked there but I don't know I didn't see it.
Had a quick look around the area as well while here.
TFTC.
 
30-May-10
A minutes searching before I stopped to think, and realised where it must be.
I've often seen this graveyard, but never stopped before.

19-May-10
This was the third visit to try and get this one and was not leaving without it!. A very quick find and first to sign new log. Cache was not here the last 2 times but safe and secure now. TFTC.

Tftc. Quick find on the way to huonville to find a ? I had worked out
 
21-Mar-10
Find number 13 for the 16th day of our trip to Tasmania and the Mega Event. Found at 1955 hrs, find number 203 for the trip so far. It was well and truely dark by now, misty rain, we were tired, hungry, and wanted to find somewhere to stay the night, with Hobart being our best prospect, yet we still stopped to grab this one. Oh how I wish I had had more time, and it was datytime, it would have been fantastic to explore this site. Take note of some of the graves with footstones. You learn about them on the Isle of the Dead tour at Pt Arthur.

Cheers

an old chook visited
 
14-Feb-10
Okay. Returned to this one today with fellow cachers who had previously found this one. We found the magnet but not the container. The container was eventually found after a search in the dirt and grass. A.M: I have taken the container to super glue the magnet back on. PM: Returning the cache to it's proper hiding place. TFTC
PS: Log has only three (3) spaces left.
 
14-Feb-10
Went back today and I found part of the cache, weroamin found the main part and did some maintenance on it. All is good except that the log is nearly full and I did not have a spare to fit. TFTC.
 
13-Feb-10
Had no luck here, maybe try again some time, did note that it has been a while since it was last found. I am hoping that it is still there. Thanks anyway.
 
13-Feb-10
I was a tad uncomfortable searching for this one, but decided to retreat as a mark of respect. Maybe another look on the way past another time.
 
19-Sep-09
Pitch black dark only 4x4 headlights the boss (wife) headed for this one and bugga me if she didn't drop it .....lol
And we had no torch...lol
Pheeeew we found it SL and replaced back where it was

Found after a brief look. Can see from the road, but only if you know what you're looking for.
 
13-Sep-09
First find for the day out and about with CatWomanAU
 
05-Sep-09
Was this once the dead centre of town ??? Wink
Dead easy find but a bit conspicuous up on that corner. Smile
TFTC.
 
28-May-09
Found at 1132hrs as my 21st cache. It was my 1st micro and knowing what to look for makes a difference. Some of my ancestors are resting their bones on this corner. I was the 25th signature on the log. Thanks for helping me with my genealogy. Cheers OldSint

Took longer than it should have but....it was dark...and rainy....and Team Snuva were watching me so....was a bit spooked and nervous! Finally made the find...and was able to sign the log and keep it dry thanks to Snuva's help!! TFTC #2313 for us.

I'll bet this cemetery was a lot quieter many years ago when it was established Smile
The residents must be turning in their graves at the more recent march of progress at their doorstep [:o]
With all the muggle traffic speeding past nearby, I had a poke around for a cache with no luck.
After reading the notes again I noted the size of the container again.
Oh! Well in that cache it must be there. And there it was Big Grin
TFTC.
 
02-Mar-09
Time to put a spot of glue on the cache attachment mechanism. Other than that, the cache is in good shape. Thanks!
 
02-Mar-09
Nice place for a tiny one. Many thanks
 
23-Jan-09
Only found 2 candles placed at each end...no cache though...Cheers.

My old 4WD club did some clean up work here many years ago.

19-Jan-09
dropped by today to try this one but no luck for us on this occasion.
 
18-Jan-09
A quick find by torchlight....
at night....
in a cemetery.............
Actually not at all spooky when it's right next to a highway.
It's only the magnetic pin that the log sheet is wrapped around, that is holding the cache container to the magnet. It might need some attention.
Or some superglue...
Thanks S&L
 
11-Jan-09
container and magnet have parted company, tried to put back together but will need stronger glue. Quilter
 
10-Jan-09
Cache found by TTE, magnet found by Sirius. Unfortunantly the magnet has come loose. Attempted repair, but not sure how long that will last. Certainly is a Nano. Sirius knew all about this corner from his days back with the DMR. TFTC Cheers Quilter
 
25-Dec-08
Wow how tiny was this one, never seen a nano cache before. Had to wait for an elderly muggle to finish wishing his mom Merry Christmas before we could respectfully continue looking for it. Finally found it after reading the logs and thinking small. Thanks from the Turbo Chickens.
 
11-Dec-08
Thanks for the cache - Wackys and Cached (SA) Big Grin

Did a lot of looking until we realised the size factor.
After zooming in, cache was soon to hand.
Many thanks.

A mad scramble around in the rain and came to a dead end until this little succer was finally spotted Thanks
 
22-Nov-08
Found this one when I was Mrs Cheesy Pig. I have struck out on my own and am now logging the caches I found in my previous persona (but not the ones found only by Mr Cheesy Pig of course)! Let me know if you would like me to find it and log it again but under my new name.
 
22-Nov-08
Nice easy find when you know what you are looking for. Thanks Smile
