As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (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 to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No finds since Sept last year, no response from CO to three NM requests, I think it might be time to send this one to it's grave? (no pun intended)

Add my DNF to the ever growing list.

Checked all around, no luck

No luck today with JJCC, as per previous comments it appears it may have been muggled - not found since October last year. Would be great if CO could do a check

With JJCC

Out and about with Team Merlin but no luck here.

Couldn't find cache a tad creepy at 9:00 at night but unfortunately only found the gate after jumping the fence x

Drove out to this one without having checked prior logs to know that it has taken a little holiday. Still, we thoroughly enjoyed wandering around this beautiful cemetery, in which we recognised some names well-known in the area, and marvelled over the very old headstones. Cache or no cache, it's worth a visit if, like us, you enjoy old cemeteries.

Searched the base of tree, couldn't locate anything after reading hint, then I viewed logs and understood why I didn't find it.
PLEASE, CO do a maintenance check out here.

Can the CO check this one please? It appears to have been muggles.

Definitely nothing at the tree.

Did not find it

The cache appears to have been muggled. I visited the cemetery this afternoon and found where the cache likely was but there is no sign of it there or nearby. I took a couple of photos that I will email to the CO for his information.

An unfortunate DNF, I am convinced that this cache is gone
Detouring on my way home from a day out working in Maroota

Couldn't find it

Easy peasy

Easy find!

Nice easy grab, tftc

New record sheet time. Sorry I didn't have one myself.

Lovely old cementary. Tftc

Found on a lovely afternoom drive. TFTC. Log is damp and not in too good of shape though.

I took a small detour on my way to my planned caching grounds to grab a few more.
The log roll is really falling apart.
Thanks for the cache.

Found the cache easily and then had a look around at some of the old graves.
SL TFTC

A very quick and easy find.

Another one found with the " lay abouts" TFTC.

No better way to show some new people to caching than going to a cemetery at night. TFTC!

Right in the dead centre of town TFTC

another one of this series found. tftc

Found it on a lovely winters day. We didn't have to look for this one as it was lying on the ground in full view. We put it back in the obvious place. TFTC

Found today on this very quiet Monday. No e to see the fresh flowers from mothers day. SL and rntd safe.
Log is a little damp.

Lovely little cemetery TFTC

Found it after I moved all the bugs. Its all wet so we couldnt write in place 38 but were here lol
Sarah thomas and bec

Peaceful

Nice quiet spot

Thanks for the cache.

Quick find with historical interest. Love discovering parts of the Hawkesbury that most people don't see. TFTC

Came here after Guarding the Gas.
Nice little cemetery with some VERY old graves and many names from the local history.
My muggle friend spotted some unusual birds for the Sydney region while I did the caching thing.
TFTC & showing us a new historic spot.

Found during a run around the area today to etch up a milestone.

There was really only one spot this could be, or so I was hoping, and thankfully that's exactly where it was.

Thanks ADAcache for the cache.

Found it, nice graveyard and thanks for organised the cache..

Interesting about history - thanks for shared with us... SL. Thanks ADAcache.

Found it easy with Everlasting, TFTH

Headed down the thin black line again to the North Western Suburbs of the Big Smoke. Vie Ryde then out to Rouse Hill, Windsor, Annangrove etc again this morning to try my luck and find some caches I missed last trip and have some fun. Just love these old graveyards thanks for bringing me here. Great cache. TFTC

Still safe and secure and we'll guarded.

As we arrived we met another cacher. First time encounter

Found it (: tftc

We were looking around and couldnt find it for a while then realised a fellow geocacher nearby was signing the log (: tftc

I love cemetery caches and was delighted to have a couple along my planned route today. This was the first.

I quickly found the hide but had to dig out the cache which was well buried and also guarded by a large number of black bugs.

I was seated on a bench near the entrance and about to sign the log when a number of other cachers arrived. It’s always nice to meet caching comrades in the field.

Nice one, thanks ADAcache.

Out with pjmpjm for a day's caching in the Windsor area.

While I am not a fan of cemetery caches this one turned out to be well done and respectful of the grave sites around, so well done. We did wonder why this was locked up, but just before pjmpjm tried to jump the fence I noticed not one but two unlocked gates on either side of the main driveway, so no need to climb anything!

Thanks for the cache.

Another geocaching trip down from the Blue Mountains to Windsor, with rogerw3, again on the occasion of my part-time work in that area, and another very successful day, with many GC and GCA finds. The 10 GC logs nearly cleaned up the unfound caches in the general area of Windsor, with only a few more to track down on a future visit.

We had a few laughs about our little adventure this cache. We walked back and forth in front of the rather typical rural cemetery, lamenting at its large and securely locked front gate and wondered why there was so much security here. Just before we decided to climb over the farm fence at the side, rogerw3 noticed that there were not one, but two completely unlocked side gates! So that made things a lot easier!

The clue took us to the right place, but a recent finder must have 'improved the hide' a bit too much, and we had to dig before we discovered the micro. All was in good order. TNLNSL.

We replaced the container securely in the manner in which we think the CO intended, and then had a stroll around the historic cemetery, looking at many of the ancient graves.

So this was quite an enjoyable cache to log, and a place that we didn't remember having ever visited in the past.

Thanks again to ADAcache!

Enjoyed this cache a mixture of new and very old resting places. TFTC.

Quick find with Happy, Elle-Jay. Hiddit & CC17. TFTC

linked up with Cookysmonsters to get our find for the day for the August streak challenge. Had to travel a little wider than usuall due to them not having many local hides left to find. TFTC found with Caitcat17, hiddit and LJ05

Out with family and friends thanks for the cache ADAcache

Out with the Cookysmonsters to get a quick find thanks

TFTC found with happypaintball, LJ05 Hiddit and the Cookysmonsters.

Thanks for the cache
Good hide and quick find by Ally as soon as we walked up

Day 12 of "31 Days of Geocaching".

Ventured out this way as it's the only one in this area and thought it'd be a good one for the day.

Found quickly where PPE placed it yesterday. Nice camo PPE.

Thanks ADAcache.

Lying out in the open.
Returned to a reasonable position

A sneaky spot for a hide in a way.
I must have worked only a few hundred metres away about a week or 2 before the cache was placed, so was surprosed when I realised just whre i was heading this time on my way home from a gig at Cattai National Park.
I was also surprosed to find a find logged by Rainbowspirit earlier today - i saw his log on another I found later as well, but never caught up with him as I cached.

With the hint this was a quick find.

As I was about to leave an elderly gent (86) asked me if I could give him a lift back to Windsor, as he had walked out to his wife's grave at the cemetery, and was feeling a bit tired! Sure I said, I was kind of headed that way anyway. So I got a local history lesson on the way!

Thanks ADAcache.

Arrived at GZ and searched the object, before taking in the hint and found the cache well camoed.
Thanks ADAcache for the hide
Cheers

had to go over to Oakville and get some kero from Simpsons fuel depot.Decided to have a look on the phone for any new caches. and wotta you know just around the corner!!! Thanks Acko

Requiring a cache for my caching calendar, this was the chosen one.

Have been past this way many times in the past but never stopped. What a very well kept graveyard!!

One of the grave stones near GZ only too well expresses the harsh times these people suffered in settling this land. The head stone of the Stubbs family (see picture). Two of their children surviving only a few months before perishing. How heart breaking that must have been.

Loving the series ADAcache!!

After work I made the find as the sun set. I had to move a slug to make the find!?!

TFTC.

#1991- Our last of the five in the series today- all found. Love theses old graveyards. Thanks ADAcache.

Our last for today before science experiments at home beckoned! Got the series- lost one in the process.

Nice quick find SL #872 on streak day #339 TFTC and for this series.

This was our second last find on a late afternoon impromptu caching expedition after a day of cycling. It was the last cache we did with any natural light, too. The cache was found instantly, thanks to a very good clue and spot on coordinates, too. Thanks

We are obviously not on any caching streak, as we decided that we wanted to find all of the Colonial Graveyard caches in one sweep . This was the last of the series for us, and another interesting old cemetary.

Excellant coordinates, led us straight to the cache where bikebuddy soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks

Having a 2tf on the other grave yard up the road thought I would travel a little further out. The first time I have ever gotten 2 {*FTF*} on the same day so stoked ! Never new about this site so will have to come and explore again . TFTC
