Find # 4459

A Lazy Saturday driving around the country side collecting smileys.
Well I have never been over to Mt Alexander so what better way to see it.

After coming off the mount it was time for some quick grabs a little further from home.
A quick and logical grab.

Found on our way home from a short break in Bendigo doing some caching and visiting friends. A nice easy find here today after my GPS has an attack of the extreme low battery cant find planet earthedness... Fresh batteries installed and soon I spied the cache. The containers clips seem to have broken off however the cache seems to be holding up for the time being. Probably time for a welfare check soon. Other than that, thanks to Tigersden for bringing us to this peaceful place. We will be back another time to do some more caches in the area.

07-Nov-15
The second of three quick finds on a rare caching opportunity with my entire family (wife plus 2 kids). Like the one before, the cache was in the open, but I gave it a little cover after signing the log. I also placed the log sheet in a new zip-lock bag since it didn't seem to have one. Hope that's OK. Thanks for the cache tigersden!

First we say sorry to Atila as we do not have any small children to take caching with us. Our children are all grown up and so are our grandchildren, and the great gran-kids are not yet old enough. Sometimes we would dearly love to have a small child with us so that they can do all the things that children do naturally or because they can be lifted up to higher places to grab a cache.
We also enjoy wandering around the old cemeteries. We also scanned the munzee that is in the cache. SL TNLN

Our 50th cache! This certainly is a deserted location! The geokids found the cache easily as co-ords were spot on. It was a bit sad seeing how many children and babies are buried here. We placed some flowers on a grave and said our farewells. We also left a geocoin to hopefully bring others to this spot. TFTC.

I have been meaning to stop and search for this one for awhile on my frequent trips past. Today I had some milestones occurring so I thought what better way to bring them up than to find a tigersden cache hide!

Sorry tigersden for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks tigersden for placing this cache.

As always a cemetery makes for an interesting little diversion from the highway Big Grin
This one was no exception and a bonus Smile
It is not a multicache [^]
I could actually enjoy the stroll through the stones without the mind numbing calculations, misread clues, and heading off to the wrong end of the cemetery to find a cache Big Grin
TFTC and stroll through the dead centre of Sutton Grange.

Found at 2.50pm. Nice easy find, in an area that was very quiet today. The cache is in good condition, and the thing that gets scanned is also healthy. I made my log and left to get Atila's cache for kids. TNLN. TFTC.

Found by Mary & David at 1655. Hi Atila, Thank you for leaving a cache here for us to find. On our way to Bendigo, so we'll see you tomorrow. This is a lovely, peaceful place. Mary loves exploring these special area. The oldest inscription we saw was from 1874. We also saw a snake skin, a timely reminder to be careful in the bush in summer. Our thanks to tigersden.

As we got out of the car we realised we were right amongst friends here. Having lived in the area for many years, names on headstones brought back memories of people with whom we had shared community interests and involvement. We did have to check that we were actually at Sutton Grange, because both the cache label and the nearby Munzee suggested we were at Sebastian, which is actually north west of Bendigo!

NOTE TO CO: We do wonder about the legitimacy of the First To Find for this cache .

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt tigersden.

Spooky place in the morning mist but an easy find on my way to Bendigo, now via Sutton Grange and Mandurang. Oh well, lucky I was not in a hurry today.
Thanks tigersden for 3 in a row.

An easy find after a picnic lunch at the Cascades in Metcalfe, then a drive through Sutton Grange.
Some interesting graves in this cemetery. Thanks.
 
01-Jun-12
Heading up to Wedderburn for The Old Blokes event " A day out in Wedderburn" we were both fortunate enough to score the day off and were able to take our time grabbing a few caches along the way. We now understand what the cache page meant about being able to easily miss this cemetery. The roadwork's were still here as we approached today and with a couple of cars behind us we were very happy that the gates were open so we could pull right off the road out of the way. We wandered off towards gz and were surprised to see that one of the residents had lived to the ripe old age of 102 something you don't too often see. The cache itself was a nice easy find and our name is now in the log.
Our thanks to mother and son for placing this cache

FTF!!

It was Saturday (26/5) and we wanted to get out of the house for a little while. Had lent our GPS to my brother (so he could learn about caching) so thought why not a Munzee instead?

Never knew there was a cemetery at Sutton Grange - so it was an interesting little adventure for us.
After walking around in circles under a large canopy with the iphone we finally found the Munzee! But wait - what's that?! A cache!! So we opened it to sign the log and there you go - yet to be discovered! Checked website with phone - yet to be published too.

Way too cool an opportunity to pass by a FTF on a yet to be published cache. Really, how many people get to say they got a FTF on something yet to be published?! Wink

GeoKeegs thanks Atila for the cool hiding spot and his FTF prize.

Walking back to the car from GZ we saw the most incredible rainbow that ended in a nearby paddock. Unfortunately to get to the leprechaun we would have to go onto private property...
No need as GeoKeegs already got his "pot of gold" with the FTF Big Grin

TFTC Tigersden - a favourite from us for the experience and family memories made for us.
