A Saintly Fathers Resting Place Hamilton, Victoria, Australia
By jugglingogre on 05-May-11. Waypoint GC2QE1H

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

[u]MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[navy]This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers, see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance
The guidelines advise; "if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can." and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235

Please respond to this situation within 28 days to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/navy]

Checked checked and double check the coordinates but came up empty handed thanks for the history lesson

The CO might need to do a check here. Left a ziplock and replacement temporary log.

Suscoe enjoyed working through this multi.
The things that you find out.
Did the numbers and arrived at the spot only to find the replaced bag missing.
So we popped a replacement bag and log there and popped a slightly immovable object onto of it.
Thanks to jugglingogre for this multi.

Found it

Cache container missing only contents and log book laying on ground. We placed the as safely as we could.

Sorry jugglingogre, looks like it's been half muggled...log book and trinkets still exist but no container.

Spiffy- and I embarked on a 900km round day trip from Melbourne to Stawell then Hamilton and Mortlake. This was a planned cache on our route. It filled a square in my date placed calendar which I completed today. The clues were easy enough but at GZ we found only the cache contents and log book but no container so this need attention. Thanks jugglingogre for the cache.

A long one day road trip today for Fleabag- and I to finish off our dates placed calendar, more importantly our P81 Difficulty / Terrain grid as well and also a few LGA zones for Fleabag- towards his LGA Challenge cache. We left home at 5am and drove over 900 kms today and finished about 7pm and completed both goals so it was an awesome day.
Fleabag- needed a Hamilton cache for his LGA area challenge so decided to do this multi. After gathering the clues, a likely location was worked out and after a short walk the find was made.
Unfortunately, the log book and contents were scattered on the ground with no container so we signed the log and tried to place it so it didn't get too wet but that was hard to do based on the location.
Thanks jugglingogre for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

First for today. Just remember it helps to read instructions fully!! Many interesting headstones.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Great multi. Once we had the answers cache was an easy find.
Thanks for the fun jugglingogre!

Found easily by eagle-eyed GeoGrandad. TFTC

I have been following the story of Mary for a few years now, thanks to geocaching
I have found caches relating to Mary outside skools and various sites of Mary importance all over Australia
From Penola to Kununnura to Clermont

But I did not know her dad was buried in little olde Hamilton [:o]
Well now I do and have dropped by to say G'day

A fun cache find in a historic cemetery

TFTC.

Super interesting cemetery here! We stopped off to read another interesting plaque on our way to GZ. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.

Found after some interesting number crunching and exploring! Merry Christmas

Third time lucky for us!! Finally found it!! Tftc!

Took a few goes but we finally found it!!

TFTC Worked out co-ordinates and took GeoDog for an enjoyable walk.

Pine needle blown off & cache was exposed. Covered again with pine needles and added some pine cones for extra weight.

No log in cache, used page from Saintly Fathers directions.

Found the grave and cords were right but couldnt find cache. Will have another look some other time

Showing a friend the cemetery and thought we'd revisit

Found with Tassie Trekkers while caching around Hamilton. Thanks for sharing this interesting history with us. TFTC

Found on our "Making Memories" tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we explored Hamilton with Whitewebbs using geocaching as our guide.

Many thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining caches for our enjoyment.

Found at 9:34 AM GAFF1. Worked out the final location last night at our camping spot in Wannon Falls and read all about the man - so he trained as a priest did he? So that was Mary's influence.
Cache found very exposed and ready to be muggled.
Thanks jugglingogre.

Found with Kiara123451234

found with dad and poppy

# 7870 Found on the Vic leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure,
while staying at Hamilton for a few days.
Another drive around the area for some more finds on a perfect caching day.
No muggles around and a slow drive from WP1 to GZ to check out all the history.
Thanks for the cache jugglingogre,
Roostaman.

A most interesting spot. It was with a grave undertaking that we did the calculations and found the prize despite a muggle walking his dogs. Cords were good but at gz the cache lay rather exposed so we como it up a bit better thinking the wind may have been the culprit. Love these types of multis so gave it a fav and not even practicing R.C. TFTC

Well I could tell you a disgusting story about what happened when we were gathering the information about this cache but I will spare your sensibilities. The long and the short of it all is we gathered relevant info and made a quick find. TFTC.

What as surprising find. Solved the puzzle, found the cache. TFTC

On our way to Melbourne so what can we do to break up the trip? I know, Geocaching!

Good cache and very clever hidden, had us looking for a while.

Geokids enjoyed this one having to figure it out made it interesting, and finally kieran got his 6 cache

2nd cache for the day with my scout mates

Thanks - found while waiting for the kids in town.

Well you learn something new every day. I didn't know Mother Mary's father was buried in Hamilton. Found with Sorzach. Thanks guys. It was great to meet you all last weekend.

tftc was another find on a good days caching with GoShaz

Tftf found with tam

Finally got to find this one today after having solved the finals and passing it a zillion times! Nobody around (living anyway) to disturb us. TFTC jugglingogre.

A slow trip across to Mt Gambier with Bettyboo3747, lots of diving to be done.
After doing a series of Mary caches around the country, it was apt that we do this cache. Some interesting history on the grave stones as we walked around. We found the correct one and gathered our information.
We grave hopped all the way o GZ, and a nice sized cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 2791. Robmc and I were travelling between Melbourne and Mount Gambier today and this was one of several caches collected along the way. We had a nice variety of hides and not many micros, which was wonderful.

I do like caches in cemeteries as they provide such interesting histories and I like looking at all the old and intricate gravestones. To our surprise we gleaned the correct information and then had quite a walk to GZ. Pine needles make such good camo, don't they? Thanks for this interesting cache and history lesson.

Arrived at entrance and jumped out to grab clues off board. Once co-ords were worked out we released we had wrong info. Was surprised to find Alexander MacKillop's headstone looking so new! Found cache. Watch you head!! SL tftc

It took a few minutes to discover we were working from the wrong text, after realizing the error, we re-solved the questions, and headed off to the G.Z. Once there we thought we may have made another mistake, but a good search discovered its hiding place. sl tnln tftc

Got confused with the sign at the entrance. Went for a walk and was soon able to locate grave which made clues make more sense. Nice stroll with co-ords to locate cache. Hamilton can keep its sticky flies!

3 for 3 so far today. Thanks for the little bit of history. Bit too cold, wet and windy to enjoy a stroll thru the cemetery today. TFTC

Staying at the Grampians for the week. Time for some sight seeing & the best way is thru geocaching. SL TNLN A lovely cemetary TFTC

Thankfully for us on this wet day we could make this one almost a driveby. After getting all the info from the first WP we made our way towards the GZ where after a short walk the cache was found. TFTC

Had been trying to find time all week to look for this one and finally found the time. No muggles to be seen anywhere, after working out the coordinates I drove a bit closer to them. Too soggy to drive too close though, it didn't look promising but after walking around the area a few times I eventually discovered the cache. TFTC

No luck on our third attempt. We search each time we visit Hamilton. Would love to find it as we are the daughters of his daughter. Do not know how to enter the different co-ordinates into the GPS

A good bit of history nice quite spot. TFTC.

History everywhere, we just need to look.
Thanks for the history lesson jugglingogre.
Quick find, TFTC

Nice little cache find on a caching day in Hamilton with Highrod, ST37E, S4Sammy and Kinkell1. Thanks for the hide. Quick multi for us. Thanks.

All good; No maintenance needed as the person who logged it as missing has since found it.

Owner maintenance logged to get rid of the nag screen when trying to create a new hide.

TFTC

Pete

Nice one

After making myself believe this was missing, we went back for round 2. TfTC, TNLN SL

Seems as though the cemetery trust have been doing some pruning. If co-ordinates are correct and correspond with the hint then maybe this has been found by muggles (limbs bare)

Lovely day for a walk in the cemetery. TNLN TFTC

#99 - WHO KNEW?! Both of us grew up in Hamilton and have never heard such a fact! It was great to be taken to such an interesting place! TFTC jugglingogre!

Found it on a really windy day

TFTC

TFTC found with greggsy2000

Respect.

Indeed it was a miracle we found this one. Pics attached.

Thanks to jugglingogre and clear skies from TeamAstro.

Took a bit of searching but finally found it! TFTC

A nice walk around a very big cemetery, rewarded with an easy find.

A welcome rest from the yuletide yabber...

Very hard.Almost gave up but we found it in the end.


Awsomeguy45

Enjoyed this saintly cache. TFTC

Found at 2.30pm while on our way home from our annual visit to Mt Gambier for dancing and of course who could forget caching time. Drove to waypoint 1 and quickly gathered the clues before driving towards GZ. Found a clean dry cache. TFTC and the history lesson

Great hide, nice walk, no muggle issues......overall TFTC

Very nice cemetery and an easy enough cache to find. TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1655. We did know of this place as it was written up in one of the local tourist magazines a while back. Also, there is the photo and sign at the main gate. Pretty sure the grave has had a facelift since his famous daughter hit the headlines. Our thanks once again to jugglingogre.

Thanks for taking us to this spot - we would never have known about it otherwise. The area arond the cache looks gorgeous full of wildflowers!
TFTC

Woohoo!! My 1st multi! Found with geo kid. Signed and replaced. TFTC

An interesting read of the MacKillop family and a great wander around this substantial cemetery.
It was raining lightly at 4pm when I was here and very sodden on the approaches to GZ.
The cache was soon found.
Thanks

The biggest challenge was trying to keep my feet dry.
Last year I worked in Penola and know a lot about Mary MacKillop, was nice to visit her dad.
Thanks jugglingogre

This was quite an interesting cache that we found out a lot about the MacKillop family that we knew nothing of. Collecting the information was nice and straight forward and we were off to gz where except for having a run in with the spikey guardian the cache was found easily.
Thanks jugglingogre for an interesting multi

Found the cache today at 9.30am with beanie. Did
the sums and soon had the cache in hand.

Signed the log and Thanks jugglingogre once again for the cache.

Caching up on a hundred or so missed logs
FTF with bucketeer

After 2 repeat DNF's a FTF here was very welcome.
An interesting cemetery with many unusual monuments. I was particularly taken by the large Celtic cross on the way to GZ.
Dropped off a geocoin I found at another recent FTF that was out of action for several years.
Nice cache thanks jugglingogre

Found this cache on 14th May 2011 which was very easy to work out the coordinates but finding the cache took a bit longer, Great hiding spot. We retreived a geocoin and will replace in a different cache soon. TSLS TFTC jugglingogre
