Found it! Today I aim to clear out as many caches in Broken Hill and Silverton as I can! An interesting bit of history. TFTC!

Found this with Morgo the Geo during a lovely weekend away in Broken Hill. We did Parkrun and some touristy activities like the Mad Max Museum and the old Gaol in Silverton. TFTC!

Our last Broken Hill cache before heading home. Dame June became a GoughIn Broken Hill for the weekend for parkrun with Sandyofthesea and CourtneyRose_. We managed to find a few caches too.thewhitedoggang, I found June Bronhill OBE today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Found it

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Staying in the campground next door and tonight after dinner decided to go next door and visit June Bronhill. Interesting to read the history. Wandered through the yard. In the dark, didn't know that there was a creek running through the middle, but managed to get to GZ where a quick find was made, log extracted, signed and replaced. Cache replaced as found. Now back to our van, and obviously, found the easy way back.Gratias pro cache thewhitedoggang

Easy find today - and would not have come here otherwise! Did not know the history of her stage name! TFTC

Thanks for my first find!-mat

What a lovely tribute to this Australian singing icon. Although it is a name we have known for so many years, we did not realise that her surname was in fact related to Broken Hill, which we are currently visiting, and that she was in fact a local person of this area. We have a couple of days to spend here as we gradually make our way back to the east. This was a lovely spot to detour on our journey today. Thanks thewhitedoggangDomsky

Thank you

Found itOn a quick motorhome adventure to Broken Hill

TFTC

Passing through Broken Hill and appreciated the history lesson on June Bronhill. Unfortunately the cache holder is in need of repair. It is very brittle and needs replacing. I put some duct tape around it but it will need a new one. Tftc

Such a large cemetery. Late afternoon stroll in sunshine. Off to find the next one here TFTC

We found your cache today 20 May 2024 1:44pm , while enjoying another day in our beautiful countryside. TFTC thewhitedoggang

Container needs maintenance

Thanks for the interesting information

Had to wait for a muggle to clean a nearby grave, learner a bit by accident, TFTC

A big name in Australian musical history but what we didn't realise was how that big name came about. A legend of Bro'n Hill. TFTC thewhitedoggang.

Broken Hill really has raised some greats, hasn't it? an interesting wander through the cemetery while meeting June. tftc

#19596 - 3:46:00 PM; Day four of a road trip taking the long way to Adelaide from the National Capital with the geohoney. Spent the night in Broken Hill, and after grabbing brunch, we set off to Silverton for some sightseeing, collecting a few caches in and around the town, before heading back. On return to Broken Hill, we did more sightseeing and caching as well. All were found in good order and returned as found once the log was signed, although I took a few pases before finding what I was looking for here. TFTC thewhitedoggang

We love being on the road and caching gets us out walking. A few up here in Broken Hill that weve missed on previous visits so well make up for it this trip. Team effort by the middle and not so small one whilst the big one and the geodoggie kept watch for muggles!We walked past June a few times before finally getting our hands on the cache.Log signed,TFTC

Container is very fragile so please be careful and extremely respectful of location.

??

Given the number of other places commemorating June Bronhill in Broken Hill, this location is an unsual choice for a cache but since we were here anyway to look at something else we wandered over to get it.

Nice to learn more about a local celebrity, although it does seem a little odd to be looking for a cache actually within the cemeteryTftc

A quick find here, cache is all goodHeaded over to the Capital GeoBash in Canberra, ACT with Freddo over 5 days, travelling through the central part of NSW before caching around the hinterlands. A nice few days over with great weather.Thanks for the cache

With a full day in Broken Hill we attempted to find all the caches that were new from my last visit in 2019. We found all bar one.

Hard to find grave at first but cache easy to find

Started digging until I found a tube behind a rock. Pretty good find tho

It took a bit to find the grave, as I was expecting something a bit more extravagant, but cache quickly located once I spotted the right headstone. Tftc

Thanks for cache. It is always sobering to walk through gravesides and not feel the loss. ??

Found after a bit of a walk around. Signed as RP87 due to pen not working wellTFTC

Travelling from Adelaide to QLD and found this today just before leaving Broken Hill. It was an easy find once I got to the site. Said thanks to June and left her in peace.

Found by iamapom at 10:48 on 29/12/2023. Thanks to thewhitedoggang for the Traditional. This is Iamapoms find number 2768. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.

Continuing my adventure, I was heading back towards Broken Hill when I decided to stop off to find this cache. The cache was quickly located and my name added to the log. With everything returned as found, I continued on my way. TFTC

The only trouble was getting a TOTT to slide the container. baby's hands are a bit large. In good condition SL Tnx thewhitedoggang. A FP for letting us learn some about the Broken Hill history

The three of us were spending a weekend in Broken Hill. Mr Tardis and Teen Tardis were off finding some caches while Mrs Tardis was in the tourist shops.

We found this one after finding the right grave.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache thewhitedoggang.

Nice and easy quick find the hardest part was trying to find the right row tftc

Our journey to North Queensland will take us through many different towns and stay for 2 nights at Broken Hill. 

Here's one to find today. Thank you for placing the cache   thewhitedoggang.

Took a while. Then read the description about her real name. Still felt strange feeling around a grave. How many graves are there?!!

After visiting Pro we wandered over to find June. Huge Place!!!

Definitely a weird experience looking through a cemetery but wow what a huge place!

Freddo and Team Waldron headed to warmer climes around Broken Hill, Cobar, Bourke, Cunnamulla
and Charleville.

After a cold start in Broken Hill the weather improved once we got further north. Sadly our last night in Broken was wet which, pardon the pun, put a dampener on things.

All up it was a great week away and lots of caches were found with only 3 dnfs.

Thanks to all who placed and maintained their caches. The occasional cache was damaged and we refurbished it and we also left new logbooks as required.



TFTC

Quick find here.

Freddo and Team Waldron are heading north for a long delayed trip to the caching fields of Cunnamulla. This cache was found on our journey. Caches were fixed where necessary. Fresh log books added. Containers refreshed.

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.
