Thanks to all the previous finders. Hopefully another cache will reappear here soon.

Easy find. We had a school excursion here in my youth when we were studying local history. I hadn't been here since. SL. Took nothing, left a smiley. TFTC

I ended up finding this one very exposed, a little to the west of where My GPSr wanted me today. I covered it a little when I left, thanks fluffyfish.

TFTC... I never knew the cemetery existed!

Quick grab during lunch break. TFTC

Easy find. Looked around at the old graves before we left. TFTC.

Found it a little exposed so hid it a little better.. Thanks fluffyfish for the cache

updating coords so it looks good in google maps . Guess if it means nothing else will get disturbed.

A bit of drizzle about but a nice walk through the cemetery to find this one in lots of ants, not too far from GZ. Thanks.

Removed the missing TB from cache listing.

Coords were out about 9m on this one. Didn't understand the clue until we found the cache. Took the "Light of the World" TB. The "Sam the Koala" TB isn't in the cache. TFTC

Great cache for the kids. Couldn't find Koala Trackable. TFTC

easy find tfth ([xx(] lol)
you do need to update co-ords though
Dropped off Light the world Trackable and took belt buckle

Geokids loved this one in the night. Fortunately no huntsman spider this time! TFTC

found this very easily but on opening the case a huge huntsman spider jumped off the cache and scared the life out of me while hubby and miss 4 laughed their hearts out at me. i can tell you this was not funny as i hate spiders!!!! TSLS TFTC SL

Last one for the day just on dark,
found it no problems, SL, TFTC

Found it but sam the koala was not there

Last find for the day, walked up through the cemetery reading the clue and found cache imeadiatly.

Found during a lunchtime break.

An interesting spot hidden away within this industrial world. The co-ords were a little off for us but the clue was great and made it an easy find. Love visiting these old cemeteries.
Thanks,

Quick find with some hints from MizMaz. This one was a bit exposed, so covered it back up. TFTC

Love a cemetery. Reminds me to stay fit and be happy. Long time dead. Anyway, found cache. Good hint. Thanks Fluffy. SL.

Quick find with the geokids. Took some stuff, left some stuff. TFTC!

I thought this was meant to be the quiet end of town, far from it as this is a heavily industrial area.

Grabbed the gnomes on the way past then the Nuvi guided me here. Quickly located the cache then spent a deal of time looking around, reading epitaphs & the information boards. Found a waymark so pretty happy about that as well. Thanks.

found it with skyejam and nice cemetery. Thanks for bringing us here

Quick find with sevabo. It was a nice historical cemetery. TFTH SL

Wow very interesting about pioneer worth to visit. thanks for shared with me. took TB. Signed the log. Thanks fluffyfish.

We decided that this weekend was a good time to test out the bed (just made and installed by Black bunny) in our recently acquired camper van called Vicky.
Sadly, I wasn't well, the dogs got wet and tramped in and out and in and out, and Jenna ended up on the bed with us, and there just isn't room.
Added to that, it started to rain in the night, and we had the windows open, and things got wet.
We gave up and came home first thing after breakfast.

A quick grab with Just a Cacher on a run down the coast. Another great spot you have found for a cache Fluffyfish, we spent some time wandering the site and having a cuppa as we went. Thanks for the cache.

Interesting reading the tomb stones. TNLN TFTC

First find even with the guarding wildlife

Easy cache find in an area mobmoore is very familiar with. Left two geo coins.TFTC.

Got the hint, good hiding place, easy enough for us to find! Picked up the dog tb.

Not the happiest place to be on Christmas Day but a good excuse to escape the rellies. Followed my instinct arrow (and not the gps) directly to GZ for an easy find (only afterwards understanding the additonal hint... very good!). Few ants but not too bad today. Merry Christmas all.

nice easy find, beautiful historic space, great clue, felt like i was the guy from the davinci code dropped a bug, its had a long journey, almost around the world! keep it moving guys TFTC!

nice quick find tftc

Have driven passed here quite a few times. never new there was a cemetery hidden away. TFTC

Found at 09:00 while on a caching trip from Adelaide. Did this one while waiting for the Nan Tien Temple to open. An interesting cemetery with some very old history. I think the oldest grave I saw was in the 1830's. SL. TFTC.

Quick one on the way to work this morning, wish I'd allowed longer for some reading time. This area is a real credit to the volunteers who have preserved it, it has improved since I last stopped by for a nosey a few years ago.
Little hint to go with the log below mine: the guardians of the cache are not so active in cooler weather. SL, TNLN. TFTC.

Just started a job across the street. Have been so busy that it has taken me 3 weeks to walk outside at lunchtime. TFTC TNLN. The_Baxter_Boys.

The cache is protected by the small local wildlife. Still brushing them off as I write! Well hidden and respectful given the location. TFTC

Down the gong today and meant to do this one last week while I looked at the clue Geowife
uncovers the cache and stirs up the black ants so guess who had to go and retrieve it.The
surrounding area must have looked a lot different back in the Pioneer days...TFTC...FF....

Noted that picnic tables were available so being the romantic type that I am, I suggested we should make this our lunch stop. My geo-wife was impressed lunch at a cemetery in the middle of an industrial area. Need to do better next time I think! We exchanged swaps and picked up TB, than had a stroll around the graves. Thanks.

Very respectfuly hidden fluffy fish. Well done. Took pegasus, car and a pathtag - left squishy ball, cisco torch, blue mars and TB Yuppiroos

Once arriving in the vicinity of GZ, I followed the instructions and stuck to the path; the gismo wanted me to explore a nearby grave, but I ignored it and dived in for the find. The hint only made sense after I had located the cache. Thanks fluffyfish for the cache.

Left: Pathtag

Rated: for Overall Experience

I love wandering through old cemeteries, so much history and caches give it something extra.
Cheers.

Trying to hoover up some of the many Wollongong caches that have popped up during our recent quiet period.

Came here with Chip and Ding on a quiet Saturday afternoon.

Our GZ was 10m out, but once we expanded our search the cache was easily discovered. We then spent some time looking at the local residents.

Cheers

Great hint! Nice walk thru and a nice taste of local history!

Working just around the corner so had to have a look but on arrival, bugger left GPS and cache bag at home and had no co-ords. Relied on the memory of reading the hint. Accidently stumbled on the hint as it made no sence until you are there and found the cache in no time. Extracting it from the cache guardians was another matter as they swarmed from everywhere, putting it back was even more difficult but achieved non the less. One was still chewing on me back at Wollongong.

The newly listed coords led me down the garden path so to speak but the hiding spot is just a little bit obvious to a cacher so the cache was quickly located. Took nothing out and left nothing either, I could see this cemetary from the site below that I was working on, I figured there'd be a cache here. Nice work Thanks for bringing me here

Wow, those ants are nasty. Was going to increase terrain rating but I might come back and kill them instead . Provided a bit more camo for the cache.

Dropped a TB and noted the other trackable is not in there.

I have borrowed a dedicated GPS unit. I took a reading with it today. Might be closer than my original coords.

705 - 9 for today. Found on 4/07/10 4:48 PM
Last for the day, a pleasant walk and a easy find. The ants are still there. TNSLLN

This was an interesting walk in the sun, the ants are still busy. TFTC

Rather a lot of ants here. Took the traveller. TFTC

As with a few others I always thought this place would be a good spot for a cache- just never got around to it myself.

Sometimes the caching is rushed but today had a bit of a look around as had never ventured in. The cache was pretty straightforward and a nice little clue. Grabbed little coin. TFTC!

Thanks, nice place to take the dog for a walk and look at the views.

Reperio at 2000. Not a hug fan of going into cemeteries at night, but this one didn't look too far of the main road, so I was in. A quick wander through to GZ and once again the torch light lit up the cache for an easy find. Walking out, the security guard did his rounds next door, so I had to crouch and wait in the dark while he did what he had to do and left.

Gratias.

Lived in the Wollongong area all our lives and have driven past this spot many times over the years and never stopped...Never realised the history involved here...Such a well maintained cemetery, it was a pleasure to wander through reading the history on our way to obtaining the find at the other end. We are planning on using a part of this cemetery as waymarks in "waymaking.com"...TFTC

This was my second cemetary for FluffyFish, good cache, took two 2 bugs, Happy Caching - Ladybird GeoCoin also took Lucy & Roo coin. and put in Lightning Ridge Helmet. TFTC

nice and easy cache-swap geocoins. thanks for the cache.

Quick stop on the way to work. Thanks Fluffyfish for an interesting location.

Again my GPS had me a bit out of GZ wich made the search longer than expected but found it in the end. I as well have been here before but I can't remember for wich reason??

Grabbed this one as the sun came up on my way to work this morning.
A clever hide in a cemetery swallowed up by industry.
We also had considered hiding a cache here but it’s the quick or the .......
Many thanks fluffyfish for setting and maintaining this cache.
Took Geocoin, left Geocion and stylus.

On my way back from geo-daughters canceled Netball game (due to extremely heavy rain), and I thought this would be quite simple as I have visited this cemetery before. As it turned out it was relatively easy as the Cache is within 4 metres of the grave of my Father-in-law. This would have indeed been a beautiful resting spot when it was originally picked out. Thanks Fluffyfish and may our Noel rest in peace.

Not an FTF but an FTL. The old cliche' of "you snooze you loose" couldn't be more true than with this cache. I had spied this spot some time ago and had set about creating a mystery cache relating to the graveyard names, but I put it on the back-burner some time later as work in progress. Never mind I'll just use that idea in another cemetry.

Alas today I am back to claim a find in a place I know very well. More frustrating is that I drove up Nolan St at 6am and didnt know the cache was here.

I wont give away who got the honours.
Thanks Fluffyfish for the cache

Sounds like I stole this FTF from right under the Rats nose!
I have to say that is very uncommon as usually it is the other way round.
It was just plain luck that I checked the email this morning before leaving for Sydney.
Thanks for your perfect timing FF

Well I was here at 0640 today after reading the new listing as I got up for work. Seeing it was a regular thought how hard could it be so I call past here on the way to work was on the cards, even though it was in the other direction. Arriving at GZ I had to try and remember what was in the cache notes as I left the phone on the car. After searching a few spots I had to go in more ways then one.
First it started to rain, not that this would stop us for a FTF. Second I was cutting it short for getting to work on time. And third you know what they say when you got to go you got to go.
Well I got to work just in time getting most of the red lights, that will teach me to go caching before work.
Finishing work picked up the kids and off we went for another go as it was still not yet logged. Arriving at gz the kids were off looking where I spent about 2 min searching before having to go this morning. Then I thought a little and it hit me and the cache was soon in hand.
Signed log finding we were the 3rd to sign but happy to have found it before the kids.
Left a few coin and took nothing.
