Think this one may need to be checked.
All that was there was a round magnet where I think the cache container should have been.

Back in Stanthorpe for a few days to clean up after Mega, where we spent most of the time on the Apples.

Its strange doing a cemetery cache at night time, isn't it! Fortunately this was a quick find and in the 'spirit' of the game, we disturbed nothing and left no ghostly sign of our visit (apart from a log scribble!) [:X]

Found at 8:30pm on 6th December, 2015. TFTC.
 
02-Oct-15
We were unable to get to the MEGA Event earlier in the year so decided to come caching in Stanthorpe for the long weekend. This was our second day of caching.

This wasn't the sort of rest area we were expecting!! We had to wait for a muggle to go past before we made a quick find. TNLN TFTC.

Found at 2:25:00 PM, staying in Stanthorpe for a couple of days and grabbing a few caches before continuing on our way North to escape Wagga's winter. We had heard about the Apple series from fellow Wagga cachers so we decided to put Stanthorpe on our list of places to stay on our trip. We grabbed this one while doing the apple series.

Thanks Team Robins.Smile

Found it with Team FIN [kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Australian Capital Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

Happy Easter!! sharkiefan and I decided to try and pick up as many of the Stans Apple puzzle series as we could today in between events. We had quite a big day, found lots of caches and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Found 16 Trads, 15 Mysteries, an event and of course the reason we are all here... A Mega!!



With the Flash Mob done and dusted, it was time to go get some more solved "Apples". Not an apple, but another trad along the way. Razz.



Thanks to Team Robins for the cache. TNLN

A great days caching and road trip at the Oz Mega 2015 with Taurus1955 and Misschief18. Lots of experiences and adventures we had lots of laughs along our travels some where I walked right to the cache and others where I needed to hunt around a bit. I have enjoyed the various challenges set by the CO's and the fact that I get to cache with friends and am outside in the great outdoors.

Thanks placing this cache .

Setting out with Alansee, to reign in some caches close to Stanthorpe, we were treated to a dry day with some periods of warm sunshine. This is one of the caches we found as we picked some more of Stan’s apples, walked beside the river, collected rubbish, followed the trail of a bushranger and waved for the camera at the Flashmob Event.

Our thanks to Team Robins for bringing us here.

Yep, we're in town for the mega event too!! Big Grin We haven't explored the Stanthorpe area since we became cachers so it was fun spending the weekend discovering so many new and fun places. We decided to aim for lots of cache types today as it was a unique opportunity to do so Big Grin
After grabbing the Lab cache here, we saw there was a traditional here too - so that's another 2 cache types for our challenge Big Grin

Thanks for placing a cache here for us to enjoy and for convincing us that Stanthorpe is definitely a place we need to come back to so we can explore some more!

Day three at the MEGA, and T-Tech and I teamed up with Nurseyjulie. I have solved all the Stan's Apple and Elementary puzzles (with help from various friends), and they were my main targets for the weekend. Today we set out to hunt down as many of the Stan's Apple puzzles as possible today. We found Stan's Apple 5,6,7,9,10,13,14,16,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,31,33 and 34, another Puzzle, 8 Lab caches and 11 Traditional caches [^]

Out caching up a storm as with Alpenmilch80, signing the log as ACDC (Alpenmilch80, Cats&Dragons Caching Tour). What a great way to be spending a rainy day than caching with friends and seeing the countryside area here

Thank you to all the cache owners that put these together for us to enjoy while at the OZ MEGA 2015, as NZer's we certainly did appreciate them.

So again thank you for the FUN of the hunt Cool

Found by Mary & David at 1405. Our fifth day out and about around Stanthorpe, but on our own today. We finished the new Lab caches, and some of the Stan's Apple series. Mary's favourite, as she loves exploring cemeteries to study the headstones for their symbolism and social history. She noted a draped urn, broken column and grave surrounds. Some of the inscriptions are crisp enough to read easily. Worth a favourite. Our thanks to Team Robins.
