Couldn’t find it! Climbed up the tree searched from the ground as well. Think it may be missing.
Despite our best efforts, we could not find anything here today. Oh well, there is always next time!
Found this one a while ago - logging now.
I was up here on a short trip with friends, and stopped off here briefly. No hint (grrr), but read some previous logs which gave a clue and it wasn't too hard. A beautiful old church to visit too.

Found with Adam today - his long arms were useful for this one! Lovely spot, tftc!
Took me a while to get the right angle to spot the hide after looking around for a bit
Done on a cache run in newcastle mostly ALs and some GCAs and this traditional today.
Thank you Jodim86 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

The hints from the discussion helped a lot when looking for the cache. Great idea. Struggled a bit to get the paper out. But a pen lid did the trick!!
Either I am getting bad at this or all of the ones I have looked for today are missing.
Found at 2:51 PM GAFF2.
We were here 10 years ago doing a cache called "Cathedral" and remember being impressed with the scale of this building. Today we were able to enter the grounds and found that there was absolutely no one around so it allowed us to search thoroughly and just as well as we had a lot of trouble locating this cache. For a mere D of 1.5 we didn't expect that the cache would be so well hidden and totally unseen from the ground. We had to climb the tree and stretch a fair bit to claim the cache after we spotted it.
Thanks Jodim86.
Feedback: This cache is seriously under rated for D & T if that is where the CO had originally placed it. There also should be a tree climbing attribute added.

Had a search around but couldn't find. A great spot, the cathedral looks so grand of a night. TFTC
As if i needed to walk further than necessary, i walked past the front gate to enter via the side road i could see on the map. DOH there is no access, so back round the front again. As i enter the grounds i can hear the organ being played and it feels more like a horror movie than anything. Good timing anyway as they were in the middle of the service. Walked round the back, heading for gz and there is a gate open just near where i was before. 
so after a quick squizzz at some of the headstones waiting for some muggles to leave through the gate i get to search. Two laps of the object cache in hand. Tftc. I found the "no camping" sign hilarious.....

OMG, the mozzies are here in plague proportions. Just as well I found the cache straight away because I wasn't going to hang around and get eaten alive. Thanks for the smiley jodim ... maybe I'll come back one day in winter and check out the church.
my little boy and I got to GZ but was swarmed by mosquitoes. didn't bother looking for cache as they were relentless.
Out early this morning to find this cache. I enjoyed the walk to here from where we are staying. Bunadoorian and I got googled while walking and tried to enter from the club property. Oops. Oh well we found our way eventually and Bunadoorian spied this first. TFTC.
My GPS was a bit wayward but using the map the cache was found. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC.
Found it. Nice little sneaky hide. Easy to find, just don’t climb on the graves. TFTC!
I'm fairly new to Geocaching so I may have just missed it, but after looking through it's activity I'm pretty sure it's no longer where it's suppossed to be. Was still a lovely walk though
After a wander up hill I made a quick find on this one. TFTC. Great views from this high location.

With the morning off work, I decided to check out this one today. Have been to these lovely church grounds many times over the years for geocaching, so it was nice to return here again today. Arrived at GZ to find hordes and hordes of stink bugs, but fortunately I didn’t have to go diving into holes to find the cache.

The log is full and with an extra sheet from a previous finder is desperate for some TLC.

Found by Jennymarj ably assisted by Boofhead. No pen. So photo taken. Lovely day in Newcastle. Tftc
Thanks for the last find of 2019! Decent walk up here from Darby St when you're pushing a pram, but we made it despite the heat. Happy New Year (soon)! 
Walked up the hill all the way. This is an impressive cathedral, and am pleased that geocaching bought me here. Cache is in good condition. TFTC

Found this back on November 10th and totally forgot to log it. Such a beautiful view. Thanks for the cache!
I'm staying in town for work, so it's nice to go out for a walk on Saturday. The weather is wonderful and the walk very nice. I wouldn't really have gone here otherwise. TFTC!
