On my way to Camperdown formwork and decided to take a little detour to collect a few caches. Found in a beautifully maintained cemetery. Cache is in good condition and all ready for its next visitor.Thanks for the cache
I see dead people.Cleaning up Victoria with gridge98. We are on a mission this week. Completing twenty finds in Mexican local government areas is the challenge. Another find with the correct criteria. It is in Victoria and we have not accumalated twenty finds in this local government area.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Tew's day the fifteenth day of the octavus month of the Roman calendar in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a bit windy today. It was so windy today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

A quick find here today, cache was easily found and is all goodTravelling around Victoria with Freddo for a week finding caches as we go. With two challenges on our radar we were in full force. All logs signed with our names or F+g98 for the smaller caches. Thanks for the cache
Interrupted the relaxation of a whole herd of cows. I tried to exlpain what I was doing, but they obviously had a beef with me and walked away!
Found it on our trip home from attending the Triple J One Night Stand in Warrnambool
Found today while visiting the area. Walked straight past and found after looking properly. TFTC
Had Mr5 pick a spot within the "day drive" circle. Great day out and thanks for the drive.
On a very hot windy. what would normally be a typical summers day, we found this one on the long weekend in March. Logbook is full so Ive swapped it for a new one.

Doing a job down the road checked out if any in the area.Nice spot logged in back to work.Thanks
My daughter found it while on holidays on the big island. I had to help here via video call from Tassie.
Wow what an unreal story about Wesley!Its really so hard to believe.The cache was a very quick park and grab. Its always nice to recognise what you are looking at.TFTC
Out for the Geelong cup holiday for some local tourist-ing. Tour to Barwon mansion, walk across the bridge, lunch, and a cashe. What a day. All in good condition, TFTC.
A nice quick find whilst in the area whilst collecting a couple of other caches on a sunny afternoon. TFTC.
bunadoorian and I were in the area for a family catch up lunch. While here at the cemetery finding other caches we decided to try for this cache also. I soon had the cache in hand. We added another log sheet to the original and replaced the cache. TFTC and for bringing us here H_3.
3 September 2023 10:42 am Sunday bunadoorian. After a bit of a search Grub62 eventually found the cache. Not quite what I was expecting but a find it was. A new logbook was supplied as the existing one was full. TFTC.
It’s a driving day for us, and so there was little time to stop along the way. We did think, however, it would be good to stretch our legs this time, and so came to the cemetery here in Winchelsea, two at our name to the Loch here.
We thought we might be alone at the cemetery, but we were not!
Also, across the road from us, a family were feeding some young cattle by hand.
Log signed.
Thanks H_3

Thankfully this was a relatively quick find at 08:30 to finalise the pre-ride Winch trio for me this morning as it was now the time that I was meant to be meeting the others in town! (Luckily they were running a bit late themselves and we all arrived at our meeting place at exactly the same time. Phew. )
TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks H_3.

Good quick find here before checking out the cemetery. Thanks for another one H_3...

Out and about making the most of the sunshine on a sunny but cool winters day.
Grabbed a coffee nearby and then headed off to grab a couple of caches and some photos. Glad times have changed. Great notes and thaks for the history lesson.
Thank you H_3 for highlighting this area and for adding this cache to my real-life treasure hunt. Appreciate your efforts.

After attending maccamob's lunchtime Celebration Event in Waurn Ponds, we decided to head out to Winchelsea for an afternoon of caching. We always enjoy poking around cemeteries, so after completing the new adventure labs in town, we headed out this way and spent some time exploring. No problems with the cache. TFTC H_3.
Sad story about Wesley, very interesting. Quick find, thanks for the cache and history lesson.
We often find ourselves in a cemetery for one reason or another. Pleased that this visit was to find a cache which we did. Thanks for placing it for us to find.
A long awaited road trip, originally planned for the Millicent Mega weekend. However due to possible SA border issues, we’re only doing the Vic sections. Joined by Papi4506 & Geoturtle37, RoamingHowie and I are finally on the road to adventure!
DAY 1: Melbourne to Panmure.
Passing through here on way to Warrnambool, this quaint little cemetery looked a nice spot to cache.
Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, H_3

Day #1 of a new adventure in Western Victoria. I think we are up to the 8th iteration of this trip. Initially planned as our Millicent road trip, it changed to a delayed VIC only trip, back to an SA trip with border announcements, then back to a VIC only trip when the finer details were revealed. Nonetheless we are out exploring again with today is focused on the journey from Melbourne to Panmure.
A nice quick find after waiting for a local to pass.
Thanks H_3 for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

Like Wesley, this one was just outside the cemetery. Quick find on a cold wet avo. No muggles around today.
Certainly is a popular spot out here, given probably my third visit caching! All quiet out here today and cache was a quick find. Thanks H3!
Accurate coordinates made this cache a quick find , all's good at gz . Thanks H_3
Wandered around the cemetery looking for the others here, trying to figure out the clues on our VERY FIRST geocaching expedition!! Happy to have found one out of the three
A cold Sunday afternoon and not a great deal to do, so we jumped in the Geomobile with the Geodogs and headed out to a neck of the woods we haven't done much Geocaching in but have often visited. We parked the Geomobile, and the Geodogs joined us in looking for this cache. We approached from the wrong side of the fence but were able to make the find. The log was signed, and the cache returned. The cache was in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache H_3.
we found it nice and easy just a flick with the shoe and turnt the rock over and there it was
On my way to Portland to see the new Morris residence, and I left a bit early to collect a few caches along the way.
A bit cooler down this way today, but lovely weather for caching.
Didn't have to dig for the cache, so no chance of finding Wesley's remains.
Thanks, Robmc.
