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

This was our last day of caching in the Mildura area, we chose to search around the town & river region today. The quality of the caches have been excellent.
WE have visited many interesting places around the mighty Murray.

Dropped in to check the cache on 02/02/2013 and found it jade been muggles and perched high in the tree. Himself climbed up and retrieved, offending pages were removed and cache restored to hiding place. Said g'day to Dad & Dave while we were there.
Was just on my way back after setting up a new and my first cache along the banks of the Murray River. Great hide and after five minutes had to use the hint to locate the cache

Got it no problem. Made sure it was well concealed when we rehid it. Thanks Rowiezka
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
Easy find, but I had a feeling I was being watched from a ute with tinted glass. Will place the cache back in location after dark.
This is a really beautiful spot for Dad and Dave to be remembered. Thank you for bringing me here and for the cache.
3773rd total find at around 11:49
The story of this cache is very sad. We are sorry for your loss.
When we arrived at GZ, the first thing we noticed was something red. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a pencil - which is now back where it belongs.
Took: Nothing
Left: Smiley Badge

We spent quite a bit of time here, checking out the information. I just love the history of this type of establishment. SL TFTC
Wow - this such Mallee country with the red dirt and scrub. no-one around today so it was a very peaceful find. A nice tribute to your family. Took TB
Visiting for a family funeral and thought i would check things out and pop in this travel bug.
Over from Wangaratta on a brief overnight trip. Attacking as many finds as I can in one night, so I apologise for the generic log. TNLN SL TFTC!
Our first effort to find this cache was halted due to some mourners close by. Returned today to find no one around and so the cache was found quickly with little fuss.
Parked under shade of tree. Very warm and glad to not be watching for snakes. Great little hide. Found with Shaegirl43. TFTC
Said Hi to Dad & Dave on our way past. Found on a warm Sunday afternoon with Pricey43 & Geodogs.
Found with Landau351 on our Mildura cache bash.
Nice location, but on a sunny sunday afternoon we had to wait for mourning muggles to go away.

Suscoe found our way here after some detours due to police operations.
A quick find as we selected the best place to park the car.
So many stories contained here!

TFTC said hi to David and your dad John and only a few meters away rests my brother what lovely way to remember those we love thank you
Last one in Mildura this time. Guess people just dont look up around here as found it very quickly. TFTC Rowiezka
Wet and cold day but it didn't stop us from hunting a few caches around the town...easy find by both of us. RIP to your Dad and brother. Thanks Rowiezka.
We found 32 caches today. This was one of them. Checking out the grave yard at twilight. Candles were spooky. lucky it was still pretty light. Quick find. coordinates a bit off.
A quick find but couldn't find the grave to pay our respects. Our thoughts were with them though. TFTC.
Found it. Geohusband had to dislodge the guard spider before we could fill in the log. TFTC
Found on our Anniversary tour around Mildura.
Another peaceful area and not as much water around here as we expected.
Nice easy find. TNLNSL TFTC Rowiezka,

A nice cache in a nice peaceful spot. Amazed at the amount of mistletoe in nearby trees.
Thanks Rowiezka.

TFTC. Excellent find and did it around midnight to make it a little more interesting.
Spent a bit of time looking down. Once we read the logs and looked up it was easy.
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

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

Found 9.20am
We walked to GZ from a nearby cache, the well maintained area was nice to see. as we approached the cache we saw an item that was an obvious place for the hide and we soon found the cache.

Thanks Rowiezka for taking us to this area

This was a quick find in a nicley-maintained cemetery. It made me very sad though to see how young Dave was.
TFTC Found on our second Grey Nomad Adventure camping around the Mighty Murray. Visited alot of cemetaries lately but none that felt like this. It was awash with flowers. It was hard to find a grave without any. It made me stop in my tracks and pay respect to those departed
Found while visiting the cemetery to take photos of the war grave headstones. Found on the way to 'The Race' at Bathurst. TFTC
