I ventured out to the Southern Highlands for a day geocaching Unfortunately, I wasnt able to find this cache

Reperio 19:04Up early again this morning for a full day of caching around the Yass and Goulburn area, and fortunately the rain that hung around all day yesterday had mostly passed by. While the ground was still pretty wet, most of the caches were found in good order, which contributed to another great day caching in the area.Gratias The BushiesAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

Couldnt find it more hint pleas

We parked in front of the gate even though it was open as we considered it rude to drive in a cemetery. So hoping that no other car would want to enter we quickly made our way to the coordinates and luckily found it quite quickly with help of the hint and past log. Thanks for the cache!Found with TC216.

Thanks for the cache! Greetings from Estonia!

Cache # 11238 on 21 Apr 2024A spur of the moment trip to Marulan on a lovely Sunday morning with Bobl27 for him to pick something up and for me to grab a couple of caches! Love visiting old graveyards as I used to live near one. I find them places of reflection. Cache quickly found. Thank you The Bushies for the cache and the fun!

Goulburn Day 3 & have settled into the caravan park for the next few days.Our plan today was to head out of town to do the challenge cache series & then home via TallongDuring the day we stopped at a VC rest stop & also a few other caches that we passed along the way.A nice way to visit the town & area is by following the geocaching trailThanks The Bushies for hiding this cache.

A great big geocaching day out with Brewmaker, Its_Dozzie, MaxAdventurer, Martin Cousins, EverestHigh and 4Rods, SL for the day as BIMME4. TFTC The Bushies

This was a quick find signed as BIMME4 before heading up the road to a gorgeous lookout at Long Point

A geocaching day out with Brewmaker, Its_Dozzie, MaxAdventurer, Martin Cousins and EverestHigh. Log signed with the abbreviated signature BIMME4. TFTC.

Quick find once we got over the fence. All good with cache.Off to Bungonia today for the Chill the Grill event and picking a few up on the area.Thanks for getting me out and about The Bushies

#13389 17:05After a lunch at Marulan it was time to head back to Sydney but not without taking a detour for just a few more caches.This was a quick find with our team of 6. Signed as BIMME4TFTC

I'm pretty sure I have actually looked for this cache with DSD before. I have vivid memory's of entering this cemetery, and crossing the fence to search for itBut I think we only spent about 2 minutes looking before giving up as we were on a time constraint and had bigger goals, so didn't log a DNF as our search wasn't very thorough.Oh well, back today and it was a quick find. Over the fence was correct, but turns out I had interpreted the hint incorrectly last time AND this time, until I read it more carefully. Not twin trees, but twin TRUNKS. Ahhhhhhhh. Easy find once you have the hint understood correctly, we really shouldn't have missed this last time, but gave up when we couldn't find twin trees, LOLTFTC Bushies

A nice day out caching with the team. TFTC

A lovely little cemetery here. Cache quickly found at GZ - which is on the other side of the fence, but through an open gate - and all in good condition. No native midget orchids spotted today.Thanks, The Bushies!

Easy find tftc

Found once we realised it was outside the cemetery fence. Luckily, a gate was open down the fence line, and WW walked around. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

#7112- Down from the mountains with thomo31 trying to fulfil our hard monthly challenge. GPS had us outside the cemetery, so took a stroll through the open gate and around for a find at spot on co-ords. Thanks

Some fascinating graves here

Found and well hidden Watch the fence on your way

Nice find in an old cemetery TFTC

Just out for the day drive quick find and sign placed back where it belong TFTC

Found this one on my way out from the lookout. Nice peaceful place on a warm day, and I spotted a distinctive WWI headstone (not pictured). Ahh the random knowledge you gain from caching.

Over this Christmas and New Year break I'm heading to Adelaide to grab old caches, fill in my JASMER, and pick up assorted other rareish caches.

TFTC!

A lovely stopping point and break on our day trip to and from Sydney today.
This was a quick find once we had jumped the fence!
We then took a few minutes to walk around the cemetery and look at some history here.
Thanks The Bushies

Nice little place to rest - TFTC

Coords made it look like it was inside the cemetery , description too!?

Took a while as I triple searched all the spots iside before even considering the other side of the fence. After that, and after finding a way over the fence, found it quickly.

Having to go on a spontaneous drive towards Sydney to pick up some stranded memeber of the family I thought I should use my spare half an hour to do some caches in an area I rarely get the time to cache.

Thank you The Bushies for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Loved this one!

Round and round we went till we read other comments. Thank you!!

Take a seat on me and I fell years ago

Nice find

With GreyHams we set off for an solid day of caching at a respectably early hour. Starting off local with a number of ladder climbs well overdue for finds and then off down the hwy for a series of challenge caches, puzzles and a few others as we passed. The virtual near Tallong was an unexpected delight, what an amazing location and an absolute highlight!

Flooding and closed creek crossings had a slight change to the route a few times but worked in our favour so no problems navigating it out. A bit of a cold grey day best for a day of caches like the ones we had targeted and as always an enjoyable day! Caches all found in good condition, on or close enough to the coordinates for easy finds, thanks for the cache!

Love old cemeteries, love the history they tell.

I loved Tallong, such a pretty little town

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spent the day with Aquilus1 grabbing ladder caches near Mulligans before moving onto Goulburn to sign Challenge caches. Swollen rivers and closed roads made things a little interesting, but nothing too dramatic. Was amazed at the amazing views from the virtual south of Tallong, everyone should do that cache! Drive home even included a few labs and avenging a Wherigo FTF missed...in the dark.

Found quickly after a walk through the cemetery. TFTC

Good little hunt for this one ty

Awesome spot, very simple find

Avenging a DNF in this lonely cemetery TFTC

Couldn’t work out where GZ was until I realised I was on the wrong side of the fence. After that it was an easy find especially with the hint.

SL TNLN TFTC

Ended up still on the inside of the cemetery and after reading a few logs, realised I had to be on the outside. A quick find once out there. TFTC

Found it mon and Ella

Found it

Wet

Tftc quick find

Stopped here after the great views of Long Point. It was getting very cold by now, but a country cemetery beckons... there are always poignant moments. And here if you wander through and out beyond the second gate, a small, fenced grave, for a young, three year old child. Cemeteries are very real, grounding, confronting, humbling.
Found the newly installed replacement cache, and took a darling little pathtag to add to my small collection of such. TFTC The Bushies

Now that the Fires and the Coronavirus are sorta behind us and we are allowed out a little bit more, time to do a check on this one.
Have totally replaced with a new log and container in the original place.
Please be sure to cover well.

Cache is missing. I found it before but this time its 100% gone

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Found the way through but the obvious spot was bare

Searched for a while but didn’t find it

I feel a bit stupid because everyone else has found this geocache and I couldn't seem to. Will try again at a later date. The navigation was all over the place.

After trying to attend the festival on the wrong day, we came back for the actual Apple fest. Checked several likely trees, no luck with this one.

Thanks for the placement

Trip away with woolwood9 hunting containers in the area.

*Another nice find for us today, thanks for putting this cache out.*

After a busy December / January, we decided a trip to the highlands was in order. So after an early start, with Rapidlywild doing the driving honours we headed up the highway. A bit of rain made it quite pleasant, and the sun brought a bit of humidity, but it was a great day. We grabbed a couple of the trails, and was surprised on containers, some took a bit longer to locate than others. Thanks RW for a great day, and thanks to all the CO for the placements, we enjoyed collecting them.

Thanks The Bushies

This one tricked us, well done, log book is full

Thankyou

TFTC. Easy to find. Lovely little cemetery

Found it just as it was getting dark, ghosts were just starting to come out

And so day 2 dawns on our caching long weekend, the bodies somewhat weary from the crow adventure but not to be deterred we set off on another highland adventure. Have got a couple of LKA's glad to ge ttbis one as the day is drawing to a close. Like previous finders we needed to rethink our approach. Tftc

We marched straight to where we thought this would be then had to backtrack to get to where the cache actually was! TFTC

Quick find back to the car. Freezing even though the sun is out.

Found while taking a break from the drive. I parked near the gate and headed towards GZ. There was a bit of activity going on at a neighbouring property but I doubt they'd have seen me. I decided which side of the fence I ought to be on and started my search. Soon I had CIH. Then back to the car to continue the drive. TFTC.

F(H)ound it! #2666 @ 10:25 AM

I came up to Wingello before sun-up to check out some dog sports happening in the forest today. Picked up a few caches in Wingello and along Highland Way on the way home.

The little blue arrow was not cooperating for this find first it was 8m this way and then 25m that way. Thanks to previous logs I knew which side of the fence I should be. Turns out there are quite a few spots that match the hint. Of course I found a much easier route back to the car after the find as there is a gate up the back.

Thanks for the cache, Bushies

#8181 - 16:55; I was on my way to Bowral for a meeting and decided to take the back road from Marulan and pick up a few caches along the way. Parked at the gate to the cemetery and found myself on the wrong side of the fence to start with. Out through the back gate and around to GZ, I soon had the cache in hand and the log signed. TFTC The Bushies

This took much, much longer than necessary, but then we did check out the lonely graves on the other side of the fence SL, TFTC

Another quick find.
I love reading all the headstones.
A very peaceful place.

Tftc Just near home, so our first of many!

Having spent a nervous week waiting for results of my sister who is in hospital in Qld I've struck out to get a few caches and clear my head.
The day started out beautiful and clear but has come over a little cloudy. Hopefully rain will hold off as I make my way towards the coast.

It's always interesting to see old graveyards and to wonder what happened to all burtied here. My gps took me on quite an extended walk without settling anywhere. As I got closer however the cache hiding place became obvious.

This cache was quickly found in good condition.

Tyfc

After a great time at the Wingello event, it was time to pick up a few more smilies as I headed towards my 3000. Finding ourselves on the wrong side of the fence I carefully climbed over to make the find.

TFTC

Having spent the night camping in Wingello State Forest for the event this morning, delloro and I set off to get our smiley totals up for the day.

We picked the wrong way to access this hide. But it was an easy find and any easy way out - well for me it was! TFTC.

Easy find in a quaint little cemetery.

#1475 on a trip down to Canberra with alnic39 was looking at the caches a long the way while waiting for teamMerlin & Splitty Miller JJCC to catch up. Al said he wanted to do this one as he liked the idea of the caches. Went to where GPSr said was GZ but couldn't find what we were looking for. Al read a log said we were on the wrong side so he hoped over and soon had the cache

Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache The Bushies

The others had not found the two up near the highway, and last time I neglected to come further down this way...so today we did. TFTC. I did quite a few LKA caches a few months back. Hope to find many more.

My wife and I met up with bikerbuddy and Toriaz and had a day together in the Southern Highlands. This was our fourteenth cache.

An easy find once we got to the right side of the fence!?!

TFTC.

#5,198

Amazing how much vacant space there seems to be in this cemetery, and then we discovered that it is even larger than it first appears, with graves on the other side of what we thought was the boundary fence. A quick find once we were in the right spot.

Thanks

There were graves at the front of the cemetery, and then a few bunched up in the corner at the back. Most of the cemetery was bare. We wondered whether the local council thought the area might have been more prosperous when they allocated the land. When we got to that corner we could find nothing. Our GPS wanted us across the fence, even though the cache was meant to be in the cemetery. There were graves outside the cemetery fence, so we wondered whether the cemetery allotment was larger than we realised. We walked out another gate and followed the GPS to a rather easy find. Thanks

Found when out and about doing some Caching.TFTC

Thanks for the cache ...tb drop

Dropped tb while out with kingfisherau and aussieben

Nice quick find with team_lewin and kingfisher_au while in goulburn for the gunning fireworks festival. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

An easy find once on the correct side of the fence. Enjoy visiting old cemeteries. TFTC

Quick find with pinkih TFTC

Such a peaceful place! Found with Keno7. TFTC

Found 12:23 pm with geodaughter. I needed to head back to the coast from Canberra. I had been wanting to grab the caches along this road for some time after driving past this location so many times all those times being quite late and in the dark. This time decided to take the time out and grab the caches in the area. I am glad that I did, the lookouts nearby are awesome. Also this particular cache may have been a bit spooky to do at night. Anyway briefly peered at a couple of the inscriptions as I headed to GZ after parking the geovehicle near the entrance. The geodaughter remained in the car. Located GZ and the cache pretty quickly and then signed the log and rehid the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

2.40pm. A day out of town with DAVINAF to find a few caches. Once we got to the right place it was soon in hand.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

Cemeteries like this one alway seem a lonesome place but when i find a soldiers grave who fought and survived from the great war and from the 53rd btn that fought in the battle of Fromelles in France in which I had a relative die I dont think it is so lonesome anymore. Tfth

Last night a last minute plan was hatched to take a caching run to Nowra! So this morning we (Tankengine and I) headed off bright and early! Had a great run, through the Southern Highlands and down the escarpment into Nowra. Found a total of 35 caches, and 2 DNFs. Cant complain about that. Love this corner of Australia - thanks Tankengine for the compant, and thanks for the cache!

With all day to travel to Sydney, Mrs Big Dad and I decided to grab some caches off the highway. This was number 4 of 13.

Another in the L.K.A. series for us. Only a few to go, and one more in today's trip. This is the least 'populated' cemetery we've seen for it's area. It was very interesting to compare the two Commonwealth Graves Commission servicemen's grave here - the older cast grey concrete the other the white more durable material we usually see. I guess they were running a bit short of cash between the
'War to end all wars' and the next war that ended in a way that was so terrifying that war would no longer be an option for nations to settle their disagreements. Yeah, right! TFTC, Bushies.

Good to go where the bushier have gone. TFTC.

Just like previous finders, we too were on wrong side of fence. Once we worked this out it was a quick find.

Quick find... Made the rookie error of the wrong side of the fence at first oops.

Found it with D.g 2007
