Another interesting cemetery , l was thankful for the hint as the coordinates had me a little out but since it's an oldie that's acceptable.old log signed but.will need new log soon.. old one is passed it used by date.
A hot weekend, so day1976 and I headed to a river and waterfall to camp near. On the way we did some caching, until it started getting later and we figured we should find a spot to camp!
We went down the wrong road first, then reversed back and went up to the cemetery where we were able to get the van nice and close. I was wearing sandals so I got day1976 to go and retrieve it.
Butt Hill hahahah

When leaving the main road we were given two choices of roads to get to this cache. Now, given the name of the cache, you'd think Cemetry Road would be the obvious choice, but who can't resist driving up a road called Butt Hill Road? I know, childish - and the wrong choice.
After a bit of reversing, a u-turn and a right hand turn, we were on the right track eventually and I made the find shortly after parking.
TFTC!

Spent the day doing a few caches in the area, this was the first stop for the day and an easy one to warm up to.
The cache was soon located but the logbook is damp, got my name on the paper just!

Good cache near the Cemetery. The log book isn’t in a water proof bag and is a little bit waterlogged.

On the way home after working in Yarram for the teaching First Aid. Found after a short search unfortunately the lid of the container is missing and the log is a little damp.
Cheers for the cache

Thanks for your cache in this lovely peaceful setting. We enjoy visiting cemeteries and a cache was a bonus.
Had found this one before, but forgot to log. Such a beautiful spot with a lot of family history. The log was a bit wet, but I was still able to sign and replace.
Peaceful spot today. A couple of muggles up the other end but we were out of their line of sight. Tftc
Great hiding! Was a great view too! Awesome for some more experienced geocachers.
This was a quick find. From the road I had no idea there was a cemetary here. Taking a walk through I found myself shedding a few tears for my sister and father who passed within 2 weeks of each other last year. The graveyard had a working bee on to clean up the grounds. It looks good.
Cache was in good condition. Tftc

This is the second time I have found this cache. I was here on the 11-09-2018 laying my Pop to rest and after the ceremony I came to find this one but I must of forgot to log it, unfortunately I am back today to lay my Nan to rest as well. I took the kids for a walk to show them this little cache and sign it again. I will give this one a favorite point for the location as it is a very peaceful stop. Thanks for the cache.
Sun was shining and a day off meant a caching trip with Ski Pair, a plan was hatched with a list of around 70 caches on it as we headed out to tackle the Giffard Road Series and a few other caches we passed along the way. We managed 2 FTF's and I found My 17,000 cache. no trouble hear but the log is rather damp.
Thanks ornursie72 for the cache.

Camped at Gormandale after returning from Tasmania. Out for a few caches today. First for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC
An we were oon onto the cache. SL TFTCplace to find a cemetery, we were very pleased to see the signs to assure us that we were in the right place. The co-ords were a little flaky but with the hint and geosense
*beware the swooping magpies* the sign warned us as we entered the restful place. We admired the well keep gravesites and made our way to GZ........ the magpies were swooping at the graves however not when our search began. A quick walk and we had our hands on the cache log signed and returned.

After a couple of Mis-starts I finally located the correct way to enter this area - definately not the way I tried to.
A beautiful spot

Very peaceful, no argument there.

SamJell, the GeoPuppies and myself found this one on our little adventure to the beach. (We didn't make it there), but got plenty of caches instead hahaha. What a beautiful little cemetery. Perfect clue. TFTC
Heading home after a weeks holiday in the High Country and what may be our last day after leaving Dargo earlier. We stopped and collected some caches along the road as we head through the area.
A nice easy find here, so thanks ornursie72 for the placement.

I found the road to the cemetery,
eventually
Very peaceful [^]
Possibly too peaceful [:o]
As what I caught a couple of local youngsters up to in their car,
can only be described as either disrespectful,
or depraved,
given the setting
Needless to say they p!$$ed off pretty quickly when I parked the geomobile next to them
Which left me free to stroll the stones,
pay me respects,
and find the cache
And on me stroll back to the geomobile,
I found that another local had turned up to pay his respects to somebody in the cemetery
I'm glad he didn't catch the twits that I did !!
It may not have ended as well for the amorous couple
Maybe they learned that cemeteries are busy places on Sundays
Or better yet,
the surrounding forest might be quieter [^]
TFTC too !!

Drove right up to GZ a quick search and found the cache I'm glad they didnt lock the gate. Tftc
Exploring Victoria heading North towards NSW. Trying to escape the rain. Not very successful so far. Stopped here just for the smilie. Tftc
We had a pleasant wander around, wondrred where the athiests are burried and wondred why people still segregate even on death. Not sure any god really cared what row your burried in. Tftc
Definitely a lovely spot, took some time to walk through some of the graves, not sure why but almost a bit out of respect I think.
I love this bush up here.

Found this cache with Fluffy_b, the GPS was bouncing all over the place but used the hint and found it easily enough. TFTC
TFTC. It was about 10 m out by my iPhone today. Found the electric fence power supply but was not connected today Had to use the clue in the end. Off to more in Gormondale now. Thanks
It was indeed peaceful and with no one around the search was easy. Thanks ornursie72
This is definitely a peaceful spot. I could see how people would be happy to rest here. TFTC
Doing a few caches today in the gormandale and surrounds on a sunny day
Very quiet today
Thanks ornursie72

Second find of the day. We parked outside and had a walk around taking in the history. Finally making our way to GZ. Had to widen our search a bit as the GPSr was not as accurate today. Spotted a likely area and then quickly had the cache in hand. Log signed and replaced. TFTH
Not so quiet today as there was a working bee happening near the entrance. It was good to see this location looking so well cared for. We were locals of sorts once so recognised a few of our friends/acquaintances nearby. It brought back some memories both good and bad. Cache had us going for a while as the coordinates were not quite spot-on. A widening of our search paid dividends. TNLN Thanks ornursie72 for leading us to this peaceful location.
Out on a caching mission to gormandale and surrounds today with the geobaby. This was a lovely peaceful spot and a quick find. Glad to not have to worry about muggles or ghosts in this bright sunshiny day. Tftc
A quick search and we were on it. A great day out with a few caches chucked in for the last day of the school break. A peaceful spot indeed!! TFTC!!
Had half-attempted this one several months ago, but when we got to the gate we could see several people down at the graves (living people...) so we turned around and decided to leave it for another day. We had the Cemetery to ourselves today so headed on in and made the relatively quick find. Such a peaceful area. Thanks ornursie for putting a cache here. SL
A small detour off the main road and I was at a very peacful spot indeed. I needed the hint on this one as I was quite a bit off with the magic plastic thingo. Tall trees will do that. Thanks ornursie72 for placing a cache here.
Yay - found it today . Such a peaceful place to visit. Thanks ornursie72 for setting up this cache - the hint was greatly appreciated as the gps danced round and round under the tree cover.
A phone call from Slink1 asking ‘what’s on for the weekend?’ found us down in Morwell for other reasons and it was a case of well we’re here now and so the hunt began Many thanks to ornursie72 for the time and effort of looking after this cache. TNLN SL
Off on a weekend sweep in the Morwell area with many good caches found many thanks to ornursie72 for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN SL
Don't get sprung very often, but a friendly biker asked if we were caching as we headed back to the car after finding this one. We used to travel between Yarram and Traralgon every week many years ago, and its nice to revisit old haunts.

This was a nice area to come to, we eventually figured out where we were supposed to be after misreading the instructions. TFTC
