FurrAngel (Ex MissGG) and I were camping in Mildura, and we had some spare time so we decided to go check out where these caches were located as it was a nice green patch on the map

Arriving at GZ.... a cemetery... we basically parked on the cache and there were people around... we quickly grabbed and signed and we were on our way

Thanks for the cache Cuppagirl Very Happy

Hi Rowiezka. You might need to put your cache somewhere else. As I logged in, ther were three pages of rude pictures on the log. I tore it off and took it home to throw in the bin. Sorry about this. TFTC in memory of your Dad and Dave.

Stopped to read some of the headstones, so sad with the little ones there and also thought of the mother's there. Took TB and will send it on its travels when we get back to South Aussie. Left "beyond Blue" pin remembering the many young ones that have an illness that now can be helped. TFTC

Great fun, Racing against friends. Not where we thought we would be looking.
 
04-Jan-11
Spent a bit of time looking down. Once we read the logs and looked up it was easy.
 
28-Dec-10
Found Dave but where is Dad? Looked around for ages and didn't see his name... Unless we were being blind again!!!
Whilst retrieving this one a quite eerie noise was heard from around the grave stones... The sounds of christmas carols. Were they the souls of the deceased singing to us?
Anyway we signed and replaced the log. Looked around for Dad but didn't find him, left our thoughts with Dave and moved on to the next cache Smile

TFTC Smile
 
28-Dec-10
I have a thing for cemetaries, so of course we have to go find Dad & Dave. I liked where this one was hidden and I found it fairly quickly. As we were standing there signing the log there was this eerie sound coming from up towards the graves... was that Christmas carols?? Once the cache was replaced and we managed to find Dave, a closer inspection of one of the benches covered in tinsel also reveled a signing Christmas card... Smile

Unfortunately we didn't find Dad, and headed back to the geo-ute just as night was falling. TFTC Smile
