Solved the clues reasonably quickly and easily, however at the GZ I could not locate the container.
Possibly muggled?
If not, let me know and I will admit defeat and continue looking.

Solved the first part of the Multi easy (once we realised we didn't have to enter the church! Doh!) and off for a short drive. Unfortunately we couldn't find the container - even with 4 sets of eyes searching. So we were either in the wrong spot or it's missing - there is heaps of litter in this area so maybe it has been muggled.
After an early start today we drove from Albury to Bendigo managed a few caches along the way and then once again when we got to Bendigo. We only meant to do a few in town but the caches were so invitingly close and town was so quiet today we just kept going. We have had a great start to our geocaching around here and this was one we enjoyed finding.
Nice work with the cache thanks to bevfre.

Cache has been ruined. We have the contents - we will restore it by 30th November, 2012
Found with ronnienash after I may have led him in the wrong direction, everyone makes mistakes TFTC
Found it with DoorMatt on another night caching expedition. Still need to teach DoorMatt how to navigate - we drove the wrong direction from waypoint 1 to get to the GZ, he may still be learning his left and rights. TFTC
Nice quick multi, worked out the coords and soon had the cache in hand. TNLNSL, thanks!
Found in the company of the Walenators after Tigersden's dinner event. A few quick calculations in the dark, a u-turn, some scratching around in the dark and aha! A cache. Interesting history, TFTC.
A few calculations and we were rewarded with the GZ. A short drive later and the cache was found. TFTC
Found it quick with friends. Good place for a cache.
Thanks a lot

Arriving at GZ I realised I could be searching a while, especially for a cache Romax also has his name on! But thankfully Applebees had found the cache earlier today and left fresh geotrails for me to follow. Thanks guys
Found with snaphappy1 enroute to Moama for a Houseboating weekend. A few spots of rain at WP1, but we managed to get the figures right, because we were rewarded with a smiley at GZ. Thanks to bevfre for the cache. TNLNSL. I short pleasant Multi.

Found with Big Matt and Shell, steeba and The Rats during a quick 4 day bash down to Victoria.
It didn't take us too long to do the leg work on this one before making our way to GZ for a diveby find.

Out for a caching road trip through parts of Victoria with FarmerFrenzten, Steeba and Big Matt & Shell. This was one of the many caches we found.
This was an easy offset multi. Grabbing the info at this historic place we were soon signing the log.

The information we needed for this multi was quickly in hand and co-ords determined. A short drive and we quickly had the cache in hand. Thanks!

Ah this cache, it took me a while just then to remember where this multi ended up. No problems at the first waypoint, and a short drive lead me to GZ, I got a park only a few metres away. The most obvious tree took all my attention at first, but with a glance the other way, I spotted a corner of the container, which saved me from searching in the wrong place for too long.
4428. [font=Century Gothic][green]Ahahahaha. The feeling you get when you realise the cache you're looking for is a multi . So after figuring that out it was a quickish find at around 5:50am. Who sleeps?

Finally got back to it! Shame GZ isn't as impressive as the stained glass window or church organ. SL T marble L geocoin cheers
Found with Mum & Dad.
I liked climbing up the steps as Dad worked out the next stage.
We found it quickly too for a multi.
Thanks bevfre and Romax.

Thanks for placing it bevfre and Romax.

Quickly solved the puzzle and then made my way to the sneaky GZ. Two brains showed the way to the cache! TFTC!
Enjoyed work out the multi and found the containter - signed the log. Thanks Bevfire.
Found easily on the day after the twin events. Once the simple arithmetic was done, it was a short enough search at GZ despite the number of places. The geotrail helped!
Visiting Bendigo for the Flash Mob this was our 5th find for the day.
Thanks Romax

After the flash mob event and now traveling with The Coffee's this was the first cache of the afternoon. Once the co-ords were sorted out Mr Coffee was the one who soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks bevfre & Romax for an interesting cache
Thanks bevfre & Romax for an interesting cache
Haven't found it yet - have the co-ords though! The story about WP1 for us ...well Mumma learnt she needs to READ what she actually needs to do... Visiting the girls across the road to WP1 I told them i needed to be inside looking at the stained glass windows. Anyway long story short, was let into the locked church on a Sat morning because that is where i thought i needed to be - WRONG! So after having a lovely personal tour of the inside and the story of James Jeffery I soon came to realise I needed to be outside Quickly located the clues for co-ords and plan to visit another day. Look forward to finding the cache. Cheers
Quick find, well it had to be to escape the mozzies that inhabit the area around the hide. Logged and replaced. TFTC
Found 10.40am
Arrived at WP1 between showers and got the necessary numbers, calculated GZ and drove the short distance to start our search. Once at GZ we were not sure if we wanted to try a search as the dence undergrowth was very wet, but with a cache so close I just had to dive in. The search was not too long but still managed to get very wet.

The church was all closed up so we didn't get to see the stained glass.
Feathertop went of to get the bread for lunch, Lochb to get some pills and potions for Hay Fever, so Di and I did the calculations while we waited.
We drove off to GZ, and fortunately someone remembered the hide - lunchtime!
Thanks, Robmc.

Found in the company of Robmc, feathertop and PrincessDiala on a day trip to Bendigo.
A short stop at the posted coords, to buy bread for lunch, and visit the local pharmacy for some telfast to stop my sneezing. Collected all info at the same time, and off we went to find GZ. Something had gone wrong with the calculations but PrincessDiala had found the cache before and confidently lead us to the right side and to GZ. TFTC

We were driving around trying to buy bread for lunch when we found ourselves outside this church.
Instead of sustenance we found salvation in the form of this cache.
While I slipped over to the IGA, WP1 was calculated and all thoughts of lunch went out
the window as we drove excitedly to the hide.
One member of the car belatedly remembered that she had 'done' this cache and that information came in handy at GZ where dozens of possibilities opened up.
We could now eat in peace.
Thanks Bevfre & Romax

Found the data at WP1 some time ago but didnt get around to visiting GZ until today. Nicely hidden amongst the trees. TFTC

Found while waiting for Mrs Roosta at the nearby shops this afternoon.
Nice easy multi & the hide was quiet, safe and dry too. Now back to the shops to meet up with Romax again.

Made the simple calcs and ended up in a location with lots of hidey spots, we checked dozens of spots before finding it in the last place we looked! Isn't it always the case! haha
Thanks bevfire for this hide.

Back in Bendigo for 3 days to catch up on 20 or so caches we haven't had time to do in our brief visits back to Bendigo. Nice to see another little snippet of Bendigo’s history explained. No muggles except for the mozzie variety at GZ. Sighted Trackable “Shorty Forty “.

I got to the first WP on foot, then went back later with the car to pick up the cache. It was easy to find, even at night. Nice church, that one.
Managed to find this one after initially punching in the wrong numbers which placed us in the opposite direction. It was a great introduction to multi-caching. The suburb of Golden Square is a great location for a bike ride.
We managed to duck out after Mr Morris finished work and collect a couple of caches - the mozzies were ferocious at all the locations!. A slight amendment to our mathematics was required when our original gz was well into someone's backyard - we were a bit worried our second lot was going to have us in another one but the GPSr swung away just in time. No exchanges but TFTC and highlighting an interesting part of our history.
Found with Hanseeka, and Kaztrekka in the afternoon.
Nice easy puzzle, combined with a good hide,
Thanks for the enjoyable cache Bev and Fred.

As junior had a day off school and this 1 was close to home decided to do it. Juior had a boys look at WPT 1 so we had the wrong co ords to start after return to wpt1 and correct info gathered GZ was quickly located and log signed.. TNLN SL TFTC
Found at 6.30pm. My type of multi.....simple to work out ....simple things for silly me...Once at gz, the cache was located within five minutes. I took the cache back to the car as a 4wd...zoomed into the area....I'm not sure whether they were cachers or not, but I think I was able to replace the cache without being sighted. I took the TB and left a yellow smiley faced stress ball. TFTC.
7.00pm
Found by Roma and Max.
Having been involved in this cache in an advisory capacity we have been waiting for it to be found a couple of times before we logged it ourselves to get it off our unfound cache list in Bendigo!
We were the culprits that muggled Bill this evening and were sorry we didn't get the chance to say hello.
Thanks Fred & Bev for choosing this interesting subject for a cache.
We hope these beautiful stained glass windows, that are so accessible to the public, remain intact to commemorate James Jeffery for many years to come.
Cheers,
from Romax.

Sitting at home thinking it was a waste of a weekend because it was sooooooo wet, with nothing to do and a 2 minute break in the rain we heard the published cache message come in and had to give it a bash.
Into Geo-mobile we go and off to grab this FTF, Left pathtag and our mark, TFTC

We saw this one published and knew that tigersden would be on their way there. I've been sick for a couple of days and couldn't really be bothered moving at the time, but then I was getting a bit stir crazy and Neish who's the only one not sick said "come on Mum, please??" She wore me down, so her and I went off and she found the cache. A good easy puzzle that kids can work out and she was able to boast she completed and found it by herself. TFTC.
