Thanks for going to so much trouble to honour the dead at this special location. TFTC

I LOVE thes caches perfect size in perfect location. TfTC found with friedlemon and Jed74.

Loved it! Zsolt atya a !!!

Fun find! Took a bit of time wondering around but got there eventually!

Quick easy find on a quiet Sunday afternoon. What a poignant location, such a sad and lonely place now. TFTC

Good find and well maintained. Very lovely logbook! Had a great day out walking around POINTNEPEAN. Thanks for the Cache and leading is here.

Went and found this one while the fam looked at the tombstones. TFTC

TFTC cute box and spot for a cache

What a fun find! Thank you!

Down here on holiday, perfect time for some caching. Loved the design on the box

TFTC - In the area with HeliKelli and located the cache.

A short get-away for my body with Kploz always means there is time for a few caches. I have been down here before with a group of other caches many moons ago to put a few smilies on the tip of the Peninsula, but over time these have been archived for others to be placed. This is a fantastic size cache with plenty of room for swaps and trackables and it has been looked after by previous cachers to preserve the creativity of the cache inside.

Nice hide a super cover of the cache really well done thank you

Such a beautiful little cache TFTC

After the dawn service on a miserable day weather wise, the kids and wife wanted a day at home, so I thought it would be fitting to head to this location on Anzac Day and learn about our history here. This was the first physical find after a few ALs. tftc

Thanks for the geo??14/4/24

A beautiful day, so I set off down the peninsula to find a cache or two. A beautifully decorated nicely themed cache.A fav point heading your way. Thanks for bringing me here by placing this cache, BorisB&Natasha ~~

Thanks for the cache!

While staying down at Mt Eliza we decided to check out the quarantine station. Wonderful piece of history well preserved here. Great walk. Cache in excellent condition. )Picked up TB. Thanks for the cache Boris&Natasha

Signed TRC. Weekend away is always a good excuse to go caching. TFTC

TFTC out sightseeing

Beautiful . No wonder it gets so many fav

Found it just on dusk great spot tftc

There are so many sad stories related to this little cemetery, the quarantine station nearby and the dangerous sea beyond... but such a beautiful location too! Very much enjoyed the AdLabs and traditional caches we found during our couple of hours in Point Nepean National Park. TFTC BorisB&Natasha!

Found it! FLL

Felt bad walking behind the cemetery but we found the cache after approximately 10 minutes of looking.

Excellent. TFTC.

Loved the crafted container!

Nicely decorated

great spot

A very sweet geocache next to a solemn area

Such a sweet hide, I love the decorations

Great hide. TFTC

TFG great hide. Good find.

Had a lovely weekend away with a dear friend and made the most of the free time and sunny weather for a spot of sightseeing and cache finding. This has us on the wrong side of the fence to start with, after some correction, we were where we needed to be and the cache was easily spotted. Signed and returned with more camouflage. TFTC!

Great cache

such a beautiful little container:,)

TFTC!

Found it , another quality cache. Only found a couple today, so we could come back to this awesome area. Tftc

Felt a little disrespectful when walking around but found the time to pay our respects. A cool cache container and fantastic decorating lol

Found by Jinky and Jem while holidaying on the other side of the bay. TNLN, SL. TFTC!

Thats for this, the kids loved it:

What a beautiful cache, nicely decorated

Out exploring Point Nepean with M&D. TFTC.

Visiting from NZ. Out exploring with family from Devon Meadows. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find. 30 seconds. Great cache.

The trees here absolutely go sleep the twists and turns that the limbs have did Mark with my GPS sister little bit but with a bit of persistence I just kept looking and then come up with the goods the hide is particular and the container is very well done the logbook is in fine form it's absolutely amazing to see name signed from back when it first got place thank you so much for the placement of this hide

A very fitting cache. Well done!

TwoEms had the whole cemetery to ourselves. It was almost romantic except for the three hundred bodies buried underground. The Victorian silhouettes and the crashing sound of the waves transported us back, ever so briefly, to a connected moment of the past. What a beautiful place to say goodbye. What an honour to stand over unmarked graves and to kindle affection for people—like we will soon one day be—lost in time. Thank you for the cache.

A great themed cache!
A Favourite point for the creative effort and location steeped in history.
Point Nepean is one of our most favourite places.
We used to lead walks around here for our Buhwalking club.
TFTC

Beautiful

I needed the hint, very fitting container. Very quiet here.

Found before dawn, which is surely the way to visit this graveyard - in the dark. Soon spotted. Always good to find a large one. Fnarr. TNLN-TFTC! Rehidden with care.

Great cache! We had lunch at a winery and now walking around Pt Nepean and reading about the history. I’m introducing my friend Andre to geocaching. This is his first cache!! Cheers.

A quiet place with the distant sounds of waves along the shoreline. A few moments of reflection on the hardships of others. TFTC

Thinking I could drive to the point (a 7km walk return n not enough time because meeting the sis-in-law at Mt Eliza) Met up with a locked gate, so grabbed the closest which was a pretty cool find anyway! Tftc

Hello BorisB&Natasha thank you for the cache

What a lovely cache in an interesting place.

This was one of many caches found on our way to Newcastle to see our grand children.

We are staying in Rosebud for a few days, and decided to explore Point Nepean today. One of the junior members of iTEEM found this one. Impressive decoration on the inner container, and a very sturdy outer. All in good dry condition. Sobering to read some of the headstones in the cemetery, especially the children.
TFTC BorisB&Natasha

Made a quick impromptu find whilst picking up an injured bike rider- so no pen on me. Photo of the log page where our name should be.

Love the cover of this container. Nicely done. Favourite point from us.

TfTc. One of those ones Ive meant to do multiple times but keep forgetting. Good way to get a bit of motivation in to the whelpings on way back after walking out to the fort.

Team Simon found the cache. Thanks for showing this beautiful place.

Great decoration! TFTC

Rain has finally stopped so we can cycle to next caches and along Point Nepean track. TFTC

Found with Moonb1. An easy find of a nice sized cache.

I have been Geocaching for the last year as part of team Dromaniax. We have enjoyed the Geocaching caching around a lot of Victoria in that time. From our first trip up to the Murray River, the next trip to Lake Eildon and the area around Buxton, an epic trip to the Little Desert to attack the This is SA series, then a great trip with our father to the High Country in Victoria, a trip to the Mornington Peninsula and a trip to the Albury-Hume Reservoir area.

I finally decided to set up my own account and am claiming all the caches I have found as part of Dromaniax.

Thank you for this Traditional cache BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to BorisB&Natasha for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Today we found BTC - The Cemetery on our travels. We are on a weekend stay on the peninsula before Christmas crazies hit and decided on a walk after an indulgent lunch at the Sorrento Hotel. The Chief happens to be reading about the Ticonderoga at the moment so found the cemetery very interesting. Heartbreaking to get all the way from Liverpool and die within sight of your new life.

Thanks BorisB&Natasha for being part of our geocaching fun.

Beautiful day for a walk, first find of the day this morning. Thanks for the cache!

Glad to have a smiley after missing this last year.great container too

A trip to check out all the awesome places in eastern Victoria. TFTC.
What a beautiful cache design. Lovely.

It was my first time down at Point Nepean NP I think - I've been intending to head down here for a few years and finally got around to it. Really nice place for a wander.

Looked around the cemetery a bit, then headed over to the nicely hidden cache. Thanks for the cache.

Thank you!
