Couldnt find the grave but found the geocache so i guess geocache is more important than Henry
Came back for another day of Faulconbridge finds before it gets too wet. Easy find, 11th today, TFTC
On a road trip holiday with CaptainKirky. On this part of the holiday we are heading from Katoomba to North Ryde. Thought we would stop by this area as it has history, with a good find.

Driving from Richmond to Springwood and picking up some caches along the way.
Plenty of caches in the lower Blue Mountains, so i randomly choose a few.
Surprised to find the grave of Sir Henry Parkes in this location. I remember him as a big fan of Elvis Presley, hence he organised the Elvis festival every January in his hometown, Parkes.
After signing the log replaced as found.

Excellent day exploring the mountains by finding caches thank you. Easy find and all in good condition.
Avenging a DNF here some time ago when it was late dark cold and I think I just lost patience. Walked up to it today and even saw it on approach. Filled in the book and re hid a little better. TFTC
We struggled with this one finding the location but once the location was found we easily found its spot
We are on another short (four day) caching holiday in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, staying for three nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains. Planning to collect some of the solved GFA puzzle caches around Luddenham and Wallacia, then visiting the Blue Mountains from Springwood to Wentworth Falls (over two days) for numerous Adventure Labs and other targeted caches.
Today (day 3) we completed two Adventure Labs that had their various stages scattered around Springwood and Winmalee, and also collected numerous caches of various types (Traditional, Multi, Mystery/Puzzle, and Virtual) that we passed along the way. Also visited an old "2 Dogs" Traditional cache from 2001 that we needed for an "old school" challenge cache. This was our 31st find of the day (day 3), and 77th find of the holiday.
After visiting the Corridor of Oaks we thought it only appropriate to also visit the Father of Federation, so we drove the short distance down to this cache at Faulconbridge Cemetery.
Arrived at the cemetery and headed down to GZ for a nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. We then went for a short stroll around the cemetery and visited Sir Henry Parkes's grave. TFTC WaywardWoman.

TFTC. Have lived in the mountains my whole life and don’t ever remember coming here. Lovely spot.
I found it during lockdown. Great fun to get out and have some fun. Also in great location.
Our Blue mountains has such a rich history. Sir Henry Parkes such an important figure in our history. I remember seeing that he signed off on the formation of Springwood public school p and c. Tftc
Great quick find thanks! Put back as found, no pencil or pen inside. Log is a little damp.
After leaving the autumn caching event in Wentworth Falls I picked a few caches for a stop on the way home.

Had a weekend away in Oberon with my oldest gremlinkid. Picked up this GC enroute to our airbnb. Was an easy find. Great to stop and read a bit of important history. TFTC and learning something new.
Being a chippy I thought R1 was referring to the 1st rise of the stairs before it became obvious
