Add us to the list. We can see the possible location but no cache. It needs owner maintenance.

Searched with hubby and 2 kids but couldnt find.

unsure if moved, but had no luck, but a beautiful place, and stones

No luck for me here today guess I just didn't put my hand in the right location.I will return one day I hope.

A fun day caching with friends. TFTC

A fun short holiday with friends caching further from home base than normal exploring and enjoying new locations. TFTC

Whats a beautiful cemetery! A quick find here today; cache and log in very good condition.Thanks!

Thanks heaps for the cache, All looks to be in good working condition with this one. Log signed and returned as found.

I never knew Bethungra had its own Cemetery.

Beautiful morning for a walk after a freezing night. Campers at the free camp on the old tennis courts. Amazing. TFTC

Day one on our short trip north to find some better weather. BettyBoo3747, the geodoggies and I are heading to Cowra and back. Tonight we have made it as far as Cootamundra.

The cache is in its place, and the 3 day old Baby Akers grave is still there!
A really interesting graveyard to walk around reading all the headstones.
Doggies enjoyed the walk even if they didn't find any spare bones.
Thanks, Robmc.

#20932. Day 1 of a short holiday over the border in NSW with Robmc and the geodoggies. We had a pleasant journey gathering caches along the way before arriving in Cootamundra for the niight. Enjoyed the sunshine and the scenery once the fog lifted.

I enjoy visiting little old country cemeteries so we made the detour here. A lot of space for so few headstones. Would love to come back and clean them all up from the black mould on so many of them. We found the container quickly enough and then spent quite some time looking at all the graves and enjoying a walk in the brisk afternoon air. Grabbed a JAC pathtag here this afternoon.

Thanks dade5

Couldn’t find the 3 day old grave, have a feeling that the cache was stolen

This was a waste of my time i do not recommend it.

A quick drive by grab with Black Bunny today.

Thanks for bringing us here and the cache dade5.

Out for a drive with Just a cacher and we decided to grab this one while we were in the area.

A dusty drive in and a quick find at GZ.

Thanks for the cache dade5.

Heading home from a weekend of bird banding at Grenfell so decided to take the longer route along the Olympic Highway to collect a few caches.

Last physical cache for the day - didn’t want a DNF in Junee. A quick diversion and a quiet walk. Cache quickly found and a quick perusal of the residents details.

On our way home from Harden we popped in here to get this cache. Found nice and quickly. Took trackable. Very interesting spot! TFTC

Found it on my way home from Wagga, left a trackable in it for the next person!

Stopped by on my way through heading to a work meeting for tomorrow morning.

Cheers

It has taken us quite some hours to finally arrive in Bethungra on our journey from Wagga to Cootamundra today. Caches keep tripping us up! This is our third Cemetery cache for the day and so neat and tidy it is. SL at 2.45pm Left: one of our Feathers pathtags. #8806 TFTC dade5

On a wettish day the road to the cemetery was quite good until we turned the last bit up the hill. With the caravan in tow it was a bit squirmy and the traction control took over. No great dramas!
A nice quick find once we arrived.

It was time to move on from Wagga, so we said goodbye to good friends and set off on our way to Cootamundra via Bethungra. Its still bitterly cold, but thankfully today there were only a few showers and we managed to dodge most of them.
It was mainly traditionals today although we managed an interesting Virtual and a couple of multis.
All in all a casual day traveling with plenty of stops..

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache dade5.

Found with O319 on our long weekend away

Quick find with SJG66 TFTC

We are on our way in to Bethungra Dam cp for a couple of nights. We have heard so much about it but never visited. Luckily for me, Pa was feeling relaxed and generous
He drove me to the gates and it was a very quick find at GZ.

Thanks for the cache Dade5. SL.

Thanks for this cache. So sad, 3 days old.

As a member of TeamOZCAT logged in this cache, I am now logging as an individual predominantly to avoid any mistaken/unnecessary revisitation.
Under groundspeak guidelines, this logging is acceptable as I was indeed at Cache GZ in person in recent times. However, all cache owners have the right to delete logs as they see fit. Usually done to "Armchair loggers" or inappropriate texting.

If any cache Owner/s have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact.

TeamOZCAT logged finds when both Karen and Reg logged as individuals. This logging is exactly the same, only in reverse. Again, groundspeak acceptable.
For an unspecified period of time TeamOZCAT are no longer cache searching but remain active in our cache management and maintenance.

I sincerely thank all CO's and wish you all the best in your endeavours. Cheers Karen

Many cache owners are already aware: As per Groundspeak guidelines, I am claiming find because physically found under TeamOzcat. I undertake this not for disinterested statistical purposes, but because of inability to revisit this cache, and/or because it's so damn confusing when viewing the local district geocache maps. I sincerely thank all CO's for time and effort in placement of their caches. Cheers Reg.

What a quiet little spot. Thanks for the detour. Cache found in good condition

Found it! Cool

Yass to Cootamundra today, with about all the detours one can imagine. Again a great day of caching with a mix of traditionals and multi's. This one was a quick stop and grab.
TFTC Wilbert67

Had to follow the map and not the pointer for this one! Very spread out here, and cache quickly spotted due to lid colour.

Thanks,

Travelling from Cootamundra to Wagga today via roads less travelled. This was a very peaceful place today. A quick find once we reached GZ. TFTC

Another cemetery that has both history and the peacefulness of rural Australia. TFTC

Quick easy find on the way to Wagga from the Orienteering Champs

TFTC

Nice fast find in a beautiful peaceful place of rest. Lovely birds were everywhere!!! TFTC

....

Travelling with GLISS! on a whirlwind trip to Wagga and Narrandera for work so glad we have had time to fit in so much caching whilst we were at it!

A quick find with Nibletricecakes when we took the long way back to Canberra. TFTC.

Found it

Awesome cache in an awesome almost eerie cemetery.

Travelling from Grenfell to Wangaratta and collecting a few caches along the way. Weather was quite warm so short walk and finds were the ones selected today.
After choosing the wrong road to begin with I finally found the cemetery and it was a quick find and sign and back to the AC of the car.
Thanks dade5.

Quick easy find TFTC

Tftc

Very excited to be on the road heading to the Queensland Muster in Barcaldine caching all the way. With plans to catch up with family and fellow cachers in NSW first we headed up through some uncharted areas seeking out great locations with a variety of different hides.
After spending our first night in Wagga we continued up the Olympic Hwy. A small detour had us at this old cemetery and making a quick find.
Thanks dade5 for the placement.

There are so many old cemeteries around the country with so much history to find. There was also a cache to find here, which we did. It was a very easy find and after doing the log signing, we were soon on our way again. Thank you to dade5 for placing this cache in an historical place.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one off the list

Mum and I are on our way home from dropping Atila at nannymos for the holidays. We are doing some caching. We are in the cemetery, it is nice and quiet. And old cemetery. I am swapping 4 toys for the little blue car. Leaving a pathtag as well. TFTC and swaps. Cordy.

Confusing after turning onto the road with the 'Cemetery' sign, as soon after the road spits without another sign, but fortunately I guessed correctly. A quick find at GZ TFTC dade5.

Found and log in during my day trip to junee with family. TFTC dade5

Brother! There's some real history in this place. I attended a wedding in the Bethungra Church when it was no longer a 'Church' - a lot of water under the bridge since then. Now I'm closer to this beautiful cemetery. A dust storm in the area is making seem even more surreal - thanks for bringing me here.

Found by Mary & David at 1215. A FP for bringing us here. Mary loves exploring cemeteries for the architecture and symbolism of the memorials, plus the social history and pioneering stories. Much to see and enjoy here. Carved shamrocks, lilies for purity, an innocent daffodil, all have meanings to interpret. Look at the variety of grave surrounds too - home-made post and rail, bricks, wrought iron, and even rendered brick. Our second cemetery cache for the day so far. Our thanks to dade5.

Cache in good condition. TFTC

Easy find following description

Interesting to walk around reading the old headstones. Left marble

Easy

Found it. 24.9.17. Crusher63.

A short drive out of town to this peaceful cemetery. Good co ords led to a quick find. Wandered around and read some of the headstones, from babies to a centurion, very sad. Thanks dade 5.

Heading for home in the twilight of the day, and sadly not much time for the remaining caches along our route. This one seemed worth the short deviation. And it was - a small and peaceful place tucked out of the way. Took the trackable. Thanks for the hide.

Another good find while going from cache to cache today.
*Enjoyed the drive around.*
SL TFTC

Took a while for the kids to find this one ... a lesson in *actually* reading the whole text on the head stones. Ta.

5243.Found with Relish64 on our journey back to Canberra. A nice quick find and then we spent some time reading the headstones.
Thanks for the cache and the fun.

Found at 12:20:00 PM

Found on a trip out west to the Illabo show with the family. After helping them set up I went off for a day of caching. This was one of may favourtie finds for the whole trip. Really interesting cemetery. Found a grave of a 107 year old chinaman born in Canton China in 1875!

Thanks dade5

A short detour from the main road soon had me at this quiet and somewhat overgrown cemetery. A quick find and a sad story Thanks dade5

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” Throsbyonchurch and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.

Found it thank you for the hide. Got wind another cacher was heading off to the Junee caching events, contacted them and scored a lift. We found this cache on the way.

Found it . -- 10:24 AM -- SL TNLN TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here.
Cache in good condition.
Travelled to Junee for The Farmers 5 events at the Monte Cristo and the Licorice/Chocolate Factory. Lived in Junee for a few months, returned home for a couple of years and moved to Wagga for 3 years and returned home again. Love it down here. So we were hopeful of bagging a good number of caches this weekend.

*** NO trackables found in this cache ***

**Mission Bethungra**

Having some time off work and being around the area I decided to collect up the area between Junee and Cootamundra which happens to be the Bethungra area. I started after lunch and finished about 5:30pm.

Another nice cemetery to visit today. A quick find and then I look around. TFTC

Nice cemetery and good drive, my helper found it.

Out for a few hours of caching with The Doggles. What a lovely little cemetery. Wandered around and read a bit of history. I hate seeing those tiny little graves.
Thank you dade5 for placing this cache
