Traveling to Bathurst with Team Crackers, Geoturtle37 & Papi4506.This is one of the caches we stopped to find along the way.A quick search and the cache was located, signed and replaced.Many thanks for placing this cache, Joshwa27, for us and others to find.
Stopped by for a quick find after going to the Easter markets at Koorawatha.The "log book" consists of a few scrap pieces of paper, could do with some love.
Heading through towne today,I headed for the dead centre and a quick cache find A quiet spot here which people are dying to get into TFTC
Reperio 18:08Today the youngest and I were headed home to Orange from Nathalia, and as usual, we plotted out an alternate route with some interesting caches to do along the way. After driving through some heavy rain this afternoon, it let up enough for us to go searching for this one. Gratias Joshwa27As a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV
Tftc Joshwa27, out and about around Cowra today Plenty of new caches since we were last here GPS had us inside the fence so we searched then looked around a bit.Then searched around outside and soon located the cache
Nice and isolated cemetery from all the busy traffic, This cache took abit of time to find as i think my GPS was going funky. But once eventually found, the log waws signed and returned back to its location.Thanks for the hide!
Day two 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 to Cowra!.
We located the slightly damp cache and then walked around the grounds looking at the headstones.
A very interesting spot.
Thanks, Robmc.

#20947. Day 1 of a short holiday over the border in NSW with Robmc and the geodoggies. After an extremely chilly night (and yes, we were expecting cold nights) we started the caching day in Cootamundra before making slow tracks via caches to Cowra where we are staying for 2 nights.
We enjoy cemetery caches so detoured in to find this one. The container was damp and could do with some CO TLC. We then entered trhe cemetery and had a good look around. There were some extremely long-lived people in here - noticed many that died at age 95.
Thanks Joshwa27

Nice sunny day - quick stop - my partner walked around looking at the cemetery and I was off looking for the cache. TFTC
FOCW Irondale on the way to the Rutherglen Mega event today. We focused on caches in Blaney, Carcoar and Gundagai (where we also stayed the night). All around a great day with some solved puzzles in the map that got found and we ended up picking up 60 cents worth of return and earn cans, found a fifty cent coin, a really decent reusable drink bottle, a ring, and some fresh figs from a tree near Coolac.
This one was a bit waterlogged. We drained it out.

#3386 Fifth of six physical finds on my way from Wellington to Wagga Wagga. Found after a short search. TFTC
Searched for a while unsuccessfully but eventually the mosquitoes got the better if me and I gave up.
This one was in the obvious spot which is why we missed it the first time around but because it was so obvious we came back and found it tucked in and well hidden. TFTC
HUGE spiders everywhere, tried to do it a few times in the dark and was like ‘nope not today!’ dragged the men there to help move them out of my way tftc
Stopped on the way thru, after seeing a few danger noodles on the dirt road we decided to keep moving

Spent a while barking up the wrong tree as my indicated GZ was midway between 2 trees, eventually wandered over to the other one praying I wouldn't come across a danger noodle, and soon had the log signed.
Nice little cemetery.
Thanks JOSHWA27

I was keen to nab this cache on the way to Dubbo to fill a gap in my attempt at the “Well Travelled Cacher” challenge. This is a lovely country cemetery and I scored a pathtag as well.
Returning from our "unplanned alternative to the QLD mega" holiday in the New England area, we spent last night in Cowra, staying at the showgrounds again, as we did on the way up, and today we were heading towards Wagga Wagga.
This was a nice quick find at this lovely rural cemetery. TFTC Joshwa27.

Found after a short search. Lots of small goodies in the cache. Today my Garmin was eleven metres out, but I located the cache. S 34° 03.012 E 148° 33.251 TFTC Joshwa27.
We picked the perfect time to visit! Plenty of flowering Diuris and we enjoyed spotting the wildflowers before finding the cache. Tftc!!
Found at 1:25 PM GAFF1.
Is that a peppercorn tree - it is truly old as we have seen one that is 80 years old and is about one third the size!
Thanks Joshwa27.

This one was tricky but got it in the end! On our way home to Melbourne after 5 months in NSW ... interesting little town!
Our time living in Melbourne has come to an end and it's day 2 of the great journey north to our new town.
We spent the night in Albury catching up with friends so we were back on the road.
A quick find, sign and replace and we were back on our journey.

12 Nov 2019 & 14 Nov 2019 Caching Trips
With these two days free, I decided on getting back into caching after a recent dry spell (apart from the event I attended on the 9 Nov). On the 12th, I headed for Cowra to start the caches out that way. I visited many monuments which some included: the World Peace Bell, Koorawatha Falls, Wynnefield Memorial and the one of the old Railway Bridges. Most caches were quick finds but a couple ended up with DNF’s or NA’s which was upsetting but hay… you can’t find all caches because you need things to do next time you’re in the area. There were many different types of hides and locations which made it a very enjoyable day out. On the 14th I headed down over the border into Victoria to hit the ‘S’ series trail which has been on the to-find-list for who knows how long now. I headed straight for the far end of the trail to start so I would finish at the closer side to the other caches on the list to find. This ended up being a solved Mystery cache finding day with a couple of Trads along the way. Also while I was in the area I couldn’t say no to visiting, the ‘Ettamogah Pub’ and ‘The Henty Man’. TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring enjoyment to me and the rest of the caching community. TFTC’s

A nice quick find here to start my day off with a lovey cemetery to visit. TFTC
found it with rob!! came to visit rob’s family in cowra and koora. decided to find some caches around . tftc!
Remnant yellow box woodland... what is not to love! Special place for many reasons. Many thanx for your effort to bring us here. TFTC
A quick find and we would have liked to check out the cemetery but the bitterly cold wind had us returning to the campervan as soon as possible.
There were a couple of cute little notes in there from the junior members of the last finders.
Thanks.

Found it and both my friend her son and my son all left a nice note and a bobby pin; a small fox. Had to use previous finders hint to find it eventually. Thank you for the experience
Without this cache we would not have known about this isolated yet interesting cemetery. We went to the published coordinates and after a short hunt, the cache was located. The cache was 7m north-west of the published coordinates. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks *Joshwa27* for the cache in an interesting area.
Nice little hide. Thank you for sharing this history. Log signed, amphibious treasure left.
TFTC. This one left exposed and with an Easter egg in it. Sorted it out. Interesting little cemetery.
Seventh cache on a loop from Bathurst to Cowra. (The long way!?!)
A quick find as it was visible from ten metres away! Covered with a piece of camo so it’s not obvious.

Heading back form the QOGM event in Queensland we were zig zaging our way back with one of our aims to have another go at this one.
We do enjoy cemetery caches so this one was definitely on the list. All these early cemeteries where the pioneers had little of =r no assistance dramatically show the harshness of the land by the amount of young people buried here. It must have been extremely difficult to go on after losing a child and often more than one. The cache itself was a nice easy find right where the GPSr was pointing and our name h as been added tot he log.
Thanks JOPSHWA27 for the cache.

It's the weekend and the weather is fine, so Touchstone7 and I decided a trip outside Canberra was in order. And of course, we felt the need to grab a cache or three along the way.
Amazing little place off the beaten track. Really cool place.

A quick diversion from our destination, but what can you do when there's a cache. Found in good condition. Tftc
Heading into Cowra and district for a few days and picking up some hides. Yet again a beautiful old cemetery.
Thanks Joshwa27 for the hide.
Thanks Joshwa27 for the hide.
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.
Our third cache at a cemetery for the day, all showing us some historical tombstones
Thanks Joshwa27 for the placement.

Now heading for Wagga Wagga a quick detour and another country cemetery cache. TNLN thanks.
This cache was a nice easy find as the co-ords lead straight to the vicinity of the major feature.The container was tucked away and covered well, which should keep it safe. All was done as is needed and the container was then replaced as it had been found. Thanks go to Joshua27 for another cache to be found on our travels.

This was a funny one. After finding the History cache with coords in my GPS, I turned to the phone to get this one, but there was no signal. I couldn't even get an icon from which to grab the coordinates. I ended up parked in front of the pub and was being watched by a couple of locals. i knew I looked lost, so I gave in a drove towards Bendick Murrell...but I went north, so I had to turn around and look even more lost. As I headed south I saw the sign for the cemetery and thought I might as well give it a go. I parked at the gates and checked both hollowed gate posts, then turned my attention to two spots outside the fences. the second was a treat. One of the rare times my caching senses worked for me. I've spent more time looking for a nano of a street sign...and the nano was there!

We have now set up camp at the old showgrounds.
We headed back towards where we had come from to start The Harry Potter series, doing a large loop before heading bck into town. We found some very cleverly hidden caches in some great location.
The town was very hot today,
Thanks for placing this cache Joshwa27
