Bungendore Resting Place Bungendore, New South Wales, Australia
By CBRCHIC on 13-Feb-20. Waypoint GC8KD6B

Hey, I solved the gravestone details and found the cache safe and sound. A pretty cool little camouflaged cache container.I got some wayward gps readings, so I had to widen my GZ search area. Sneaky little bugger, well hidden.The log is safe and dry but full... I managed to make my mark.My luck also held out this time here, the diving magpies were harrassing a poor old lady attending a grave rather than me. I guess winners are grinners.TFTC cbrchic

Reperio 11:22Day 2 of our NSW south eastern caching tour, and Master Vitruvius and I travelled from Tarago, through to Bungendore and then on to Captains Flat. It was quite an eventful day, from finding a dog on a lonely country road, to having a brown snake slide up next to me while signing a cache, to having a police officer pull over and put his lights on for us as we were pulling road kill off the roadand of course, lots of geocaches found. A great day out full of geocaching and adventure. Love visiting these historic places.Gratias CBRCHICAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

TFTC CBRCHIC your cache Bungendore Resting Place that we found today. The Canberra Mega is over but we are staying in town for a few more days. We went out with Honeysucker, Wollaston and MeAndDe to Batemans Bay. The main aim was Earthcache 1 and Honeysuckers 19,000th find. We stopped at other caches on the way and on our return. This was one of themFind Count: 19542

An opportunity arose today to head from Canberra down to South Durras to find [Earthcache I - a simple geology tour of Wasp Head](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCHFT2_earthcache-i-a-simple-geology-tour-of-wasp-head) with Wollaston, HansandLinda and Honeysucker. Of course I couldn't pass up such an offer. We headed off, only stopping occasionally and had a very enjoyable day in the sunshine while back in Canberra the weather was less than friendly. Thanks for find #6071TNLN

Found while attending the Mega and out with HansandLinda, MeandDe and Honeysucker. A great day out. Another great day for caching. TFTC CBRCHIC

Big thanks to CBRCHIC for placing this cache. Cache number 8849 on March 29, 2024

Found as part of the ABP team during the Easter GeoBash.TFTC

Found during the Mega event in Canberra over the Easter long weekend. Our team comprised courtneyrose_, Davidwazza, e.gregory1, Featherwaite, Freddo, gridge98 and Team Waldron, signing the logs as ABP to save time and space in the logbooks , or with our individual caching names. Enjoyed a great weekend away finding a rewarding range of cache types, d/t combinations, cache hides and retrievals. Thanks for the cache CBRCHIC!

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

I see dead people.The trip bit.Easter geocaching festival of twenty twenty four. This time it is the turn of Oz Mega GeoBash MEGA event in the nation's capital. It is time for a road trip across country to Canberra in the Sporty Pajero Sports. Freddo and Gridge98 traveling from Adelaide via a strange inland route that takes in scenic rural locations, dusty roads, punctured tyres, overheating batteries, various tools of the trade, special campgrounds, and lots scope for many many geocaching finds. Along the way we saw running emus, jumping kangaroos, wandering deer, dead foxes, herds of wooly sheep and stray steers.Arriving in Canberra we met our colleagues e.gregory1, featherwaite, team walron, courtney rose, davidwazza, e_smilie, and georode, signing as ABP, plus a huge group of other like minded excited mega geocachers attending event after event, and more events.Day one. Adelaide to Broken HillDay two. Broken Hill to WellingtonDay three. Wellington to CowraDay four. Cowra to BathurstDay five. Bathurst to CanberraDay six. Canberra to CanberraDay seven. Canberra to QueenbeeyanDay eight. Canberra to AdelaideThe generic bit.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.

Found as I headed to Canberra for the Mega event over Easter.I identified some caches of interest and took a rather circuitous route, hoping to find as many of the targets as possible in the relatively short time available. So many caches; so little time!Thanks CBRCHIC for the cache.

Another short drive from Goulburn to Bungendore chipping away at the days until the Mega starts. We hav setup at the showgrounds for a couple of days and maybe get the chance to do some repairs on the landcruiser side step.A cool day in the shade but pleasant in the sun. Needed Mrs Snakepitters a few times today to find the elusive containerTotal Caches Found 15541TFTC CBRCHIC

I couldn't figure out the math somehow ....

TFTC

Found on a drive in Queanbeyan and Bungendore to side-track to highly favourited caches for the Signal's Labyrinth challenge this month. Sad story behind this gravestone. I got a good looking set of numbers pretty quickly but once at GZ I wasn't having any luck. I went back to the gravestone and realised I plugged-in the final south coords wrong; I didn't need to go back in the first place! Quick find once at the correct GZ. Peaceful location, TFTC CBRCHIC!

Many thanks for this multi. We spent the day meandering from Collector through to Bungendore before heading back to Canberra.
Log signed with caching buddies, after we had collected the numbers here.
Thanks CBRCHIC
Domsky

Traveling though Bungendore, on our way to Goulburn.

Found the required information, did the calculations, and headed off to GZ.
A quick find, signed and replaced. Nice hide.

Many thanks for placing this cache, CBRCHIC, for us and others to find.

Day two of ACT caching this trip. We had so much fun with our friends Domsky yesterday, we asked for a double dose.

Nice to get this while working through an Ad Lab.

Log signed and cache replaced as found on April 3, 2023. TFTC, CBRCHIC

Caching today with RoddyC domsky. Our second day in the area. Thank you for your company today.

Last month at home we had a CITO to clean up part of the old cemetery. It was a great achievement even though we only did a small section.

TFTCache CBRCHIC

I love these old weathered headstones, they are so beautifully decorated and have a lovely patina. I crunched the numbers and found the cache without too much effort. I do love caches in cemeteries.

Teamnanbombana, Membsec, Nyssaflutterby were on the coast for EC weekend.
Heading back towards the airport now but time for some stops along the way.
Always time to stop for a cemetery cache, I really should start working out how many cemeteries we have visited for caches!
There were some snakes eeek but the cache was located and log signed as QTAS.
TFTC

Yay a nice easy multi....watch out for snakes.....

Spending a couple of days in and around ACT with 3 Queenslanders and 1 Tasmanian, then down to the coast for a few days! Weather not great so we have been trying to get caches that are not long walks so we can keep reasonable dry.

Due to this weekend being “Earthcache Day” we were aiming at doing as many Earthcaches as possible and anything else that we thought was worth a stop. Found with Nyssaflutterby, teamnanabombane and wombles&co.

On our way back to Canberra to go our separated ways unfortunately. We couldn’t resist this area as we all love cemeteries and there were a few things to achieve from here….one to get out alive!!!! As Lady membsec was heading to GZ, on top of one of the graves was a huge snake that got a fright like me and slithered down a nearby hole!! A few deep breaths and onward. Cache was successfully found! Signed as QTAS to save time and space.

Now for our next adventure…..

TFTM

Found It!
After a quick visit to WP1, I wandered over to GZ and soon spotted the cache! Now to go climb that tree...
TFTC

#2745 Collected the data at the grave stone before making the short stroll to GZ for a quick find. Luckily the log was dry as the cap had not been completely screwed on. Later in the day we drove over the creek that the poor chap drowned in. Thanks CBRCHIC for preparing this Multi.

#861 Turtle and I decided to venture out to Bungendore today to hopefully clear out the area. In total I picked up 30 finds so it was a fairly positive outing.

A quick coordinate retrieval at the posted coordinates before heading off to GZ. Spent no more than a few minutes searching before Turtle spotted the hide. Was glad to find a dry log after finding the cache hadn’t been completely shut properly. We actually ended up driving over the bridge of the creek he drowned on later in the day, we’d never have noticed it before without this multi. Thanks CBRCHIC

Good spot

I had some time today, so took a drive out of town to pick this one up. I solve it a few months ago when I was in the area and it was a quick find tonight. TFTC.

Back in Canberra for a stint. Best catch some caches, old and new. TFTC.
Did the clue on the broken one and realised my mistake. New coords in and at quick find at GZ. TFTC

Well hidden but so obvious when you know where it is! TFTC.

TFTC a peaceful setting to search

Hidden so well that is was quite the effort to work out where I needed to return the log to

TFTC!

Was at the cemetery for the AL (where I saw two of the biggest brown snakes I’ve ever seen!) so thought I’d have a go at this one while I was there.
Found WP and got the numbers I needed.
Lots of places at GZ for a micro. There was a muggle in a parked car at GZ so I didn’t look for too long before calling it a DNF.

Good Multi.. easy walking all the way to found it.. tks

Find Number 2388 found at 11:19. Today we found 18 caches plus 6 Adventure lab stages. We had 6 DNF.

22/2/22 - a significant date with four souvenirs up for grabs.

I headed to Bungendore hoping to achieve three aims: get all 4 douvenirs; get the two multicaches I needed for a challenge and get as many caches with 6 months or more unfound time as possible.

I obtained the necessary data and headed off to the final location. I found the cache easily enough, dismantled it and signed the log. However, when I tried to put it back together I couldn't find the rest of it. Unusually, it took me far longer to replace the cache than it did to find it.

Anyway, it was all in good condition and is finally ready for the next seeker.

Thanks CBRCHIC for the cache.

TFTC. Nice simple MC. OCW MF428.

Great little multi. TFTC

Aquilus1 and I spent a horrible wet, windy do doing what everyone should: caching in the car.

A little loop taking us out through Bungendore & Braidwood doing lots of multi's, then back through Captains Flat, with a bonus AL in Queanbeyan as we were going to be early for the Xmas event.

All hides found relatively easily, thank you to all the CO's for placing.

It was a day out and about Bungendore and Braidwood with the FFLL ladies and the ladies picked the best day to do it. It was a warm day with the sun shining and our main target was to get some multi's under our belts. A day of lots of laughs and quite a few caches found, including multi's, puzzles, traditionals, adventure labs and even an earthcache. Finished the day off getting caught in a hail storm on the way home, was a day of all kinds of weather.

A nice easy multi in a nice old cemetery, do have a soft spot wandering around old headstones. Information gathered and coordinates calculated. No issues locating the cache, signed and replaced.

Thanks for the cache placement CBRCHIC and thanks for the lovely day out FFLL ladies.

With one of the team being restricted to home we decided to take a road trip to at least get out of the house. So a trip to Bungendore and Braidwood was planned with Rapidlywild. Thankfully it was lovely weather although a little warm at times. We planned to clean up both places but will need to return to Bungendore at some stage as we notched up a DNF. On return to Canberra the weather had turned pretty nasty hitting a storm along the way.

A nice multi here, cache found and signed.

Thanks for the cache CBRCHIC and for the company and assistance Rapidlywild, it was a fun day out.

Tftc, nice simple multi, co ords all good . Short search had CIH.

A caching day with Contesta, 6.30 am to about 8 pm. We did the Captains Flat Braidwood Bungendore circuit. TFTC.

Find #4445

Lockdown has bought a totally different approach to caching with the introduction of homework! Much time for homework in fact. Therefore many more puzzles solved, both as a solo and collective effort. Thanks to my fellow geo buddies for assistance when needed.

And in between there are still some traditionals, though not nearly as many of them left these days


Out with Marmaduke Rothschild for a drive interstate and in the country because we can.

Super enjoyable single offset multi in beautiful spots with soft late afternoon breeze and plenty of flowers.

Logs all in good condition unless otherwise noted.

Thanks to CBRCHIC for putting out and maintaining all of these caches for our enjoyment!

With restrictions easing I decided to go on a short drive to Braidwood to collect a couple of caches. This cache was a bit unclear at first (mostly because I didn't read the description well :/). But after a bit of fiddling, GZ was located and cache signed. TFTC

Did not find

Quick and easy find.
Thanks for bringing us back to the bone orchard, this is one of our favorites.
The old limestone home's are so beautiful and it's nice seeing the newer marble one's too.
Thanks for the cache!!

Found on a days adventure down the coast with CBRchic and StrangeTrousers. Signed as Kayak Cachers.

An interesting grave for sure. After doing the calculations it was off to GZ and took a couple of minutes to spot the cache. TFTC!

Took a few re-reads of the cache details before I figured out the exact information required.
Logical gz calculated moments later.
A large case of cache blindness then followed.
I'm sure I looked there multiple times.
But great cache otherwise.
Thanks for the adventure.

After the Event in Hall this morning I still needed a multi and a mystery to complete their calendars for this date. I found the mystery in Nicholls but my presence was required out at the farm today. It was but a slight detour to find the required information grab the cache, sign the log and replace where found. TFTC CBRCHIC

decide to come out here in the area to grab some caches, came her last time but it was dark so did in the daylight with my geowife and done the homework while there and zoom off to the GZ nice hide TFTC CBRCHIC

#2628 Third of 14 unique finds caching around Queanbeyan, Bungendore and Captain’s Flat. Found after a short search. TFTC

Nice easy find tftc

This week consisted of getting away from work early enough to visit a cache, either on my scooter or driving, to try and continue building up my calendar finds days. Some days needed a specific cache type as well. This week was nice weather wise and made for a pleasant afternoon.

A very wet afternoon, but it had eased by the time I was ready to walk around. GZ is very well protected. A nice walk.

Thanks for the cache CBRCHIC

#10488 - 9:15:00 AM; Out on a mission with Sol de lune this morning to undertake a caching circumnavigation of Lake George. Our goal for the day was to collect the various caches, including some Adventure Labs, along or near our route with stops in Bungendore and Collector as we made our way around. Collected the ALs and info for some other multis around the town, then headed to the dead centre of town for this cache. Gathered the info and then headed to GZ where after a few minutes, Sdl finally spotted the cache. TFTC CBRCHIC

Out with LuckyL10n on a Sunday caching run involving a lap of Lake George and a stop in Bungendore for a couple of multi's. This was a neat little walk around the area and we soon had our GZ sorted. Took a couple of minutes to make the find, but all was good and the log was soon signed.

Thanks CBRCHIC....a pleasant way to spend a bit of time.

A beautiful cemetery with much history. Quick and easy multi and an unfortunate death of the young man that we learnt about today. TFTC CBRCHIC.

13:16
Starting from Murrumbateman, we set a course for the coast. Every cache type popped up on our map, some in large numbers. With limited time, it is easy to see we will need to make another trip to this part of the state.
Not a very old cemetery really.

Thanks CBRCHIC for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Nice multi, found while doing the Bungendore AL.

Found with O319 on a quick caching trip to Bungendore

Found with Kittykatchand barb2e enjoying a nice visit to Bungendore. All good with cache and enjoyed a look around here. TFTC CBRCHIC

Out caching today with Joolay and barb2e and made the find on this one after dnf last time. Cool hide in a cemetery- what's not to like.

Condition Report:. Good and dry
Log Status:. Lots of room

Thanks for hiding this cache CBRCHIC

Nice hide. Found with Joolay and Kittykatch on a day out at Bungendore. Tftc

Found out caching in Bungendore. What a beautiful cemetery - we do love cemetery caches! Eldest Geokid worked out the co-ords and we hunted around GZ for a while before finally spotting it. Thanks for the cache!

Tankengine and I were heading home after a big day out and about in and around Braidwood. We got a whole lot more done than I thought we would. Thank you Tankengine for all your assistance and company today.

This Cache: Straight forward solve and a relatively quick find at GZ. It's a nice spot and nice work done on this cache. I do like a cemetery cache. Tftc CBRCHIC!!!

Chooo ooo [found] - with dty73! We set out to do some caching in Bungendore and Braidwood today - and success - we cleaned out those two towns! (Again)(Well for now anyway)... This is a nice little cemetery - and after collecting the info, the find was soon made! A nice cache! Favourite from me! Thanks CBRCHIC

#4188
Heading out to Bateman's Bay today for the penultimate leg of our roadtrip, we set off in threatening skies and a light drizzle, only to have a cracker of a caching day, managing 44 assorted finds with only a few DNFs.
We grabbed a selection of caches along Captains Flat Rd before cruising through Bungendore.
After failing the nearby tree climb, we found this one - pinpoint coordinates - literally 0m put us on top of the cache, but it took a good few minutes to spot. TFTC!

We found this on our trip from Canberra to Batemans Bay today....
###TFTC!!!!###

Found today on our roadtrip, today is day 4. We managed 38 GC finds and a couple of GA ( Geocaching Australia).

TFTC

Had a quick preliminary look for this a couple of weeks back with no luck. Nearby muggles precluded a more systematic search in the dense growth.

A bit of a nudge from a previous finder, who sensibly had completed this cache in the winter months, helped me to narrow down the search and today after a short hunt the container was finally spotted in the undergrowth. Quite tough at this time of year. Spent some time admiring the spectacular roses in the cemetery. TFTC CBRCHIC and a FP awarded

The new AL in Bungendore brought us to this lovely and interesting cemetery, so why not grab another cache while here. The nearby trad did not appeal, I am not climbing a tree to sign a log roll in a bison for anyone... so many tree climbs being published of late. Anyway, this little multi was much more pleasant, from the interesting gravestone (there was much speculation as to how the young man came to meet his demise... with one conclusion, that perhaps a few beverages had been consumed?), to the lovely leafy arbour. It took a few minutes, but the cache was soon in hand. TFTC CBRCHIC

I guess only geocachers saunter around a cemetery in freezing rain.
Was actually trying to do some research for an AL, but no retreated into my car. Some really interesting gravestones around and, sadly a lot for children.
TFTC

Quick stop on our way to Canberra for the da. Nice quick multi.
It’s going to be a beautiful day today. TFTC

A nice multi. We've been here before. Just staying the night for business.

Found with Decrypter. Nice clear instructions, with no ambiguity; just how a multicache should be . I'm guessing it was easier to find the cache at this time of year. Cache and log are good. TFTC CBRCHIC.

Found with Goldenwattle. TFTC.

As did this at night and hell no

Tftc our first waypoint one found w mini me too, they were v excited

Found while on a quick cache hunt in Bungendore. TFTH

Good to call in here and do a cache that didn't involve a tree climb! Found the spot OK, then off to GZ for a fast find.

Thanks,

Thank you for the cache I had fun finding this case today.

Needed to fill some time so decided to head to bungendore for lunch. Busy spot to come to but enjoyed exploring around the area and poking into some of the shops, I love the woodworks the best. All done but this cache was new since my last visit so we came across. No problems locating the information and working out GZ which was a nice stop in a good spot. Thanks for the cache CBRCHIC, FP as I do love a cemetery cache!

#12901 @1410
After a cycle caching mission around the eastern end of Kowen Forest with Noikmeister, and took a long route back home to clean up a few other caches. Information soon found and GZ calculated. Cache soon found. TFTC.

Found on a warm Autumn day for another drive around the area.
Todays mission was to do more of the Tarago and Collector series and others nearby.
Not much traffic today and some more interesting parking options.
A good quick multi and a well hidde cache atGZ.
Cache condition is OK/good.
Thanks for the cache CBRCHIC,

A nice easy multi. The hardest part was putting the container back together after signing the log. Thanks CBRCHIC

# 5935 Dropped by while on a trip out to the coast for the day. I helped the CO with this one so it was a very quick find. Lovely spot.
Thanks CBRCHIC

fitzy_1965 and I were up early and on the road to get to Canberra for a day of Leap Day caching.

CITOing done and some general chatting before we left for a long walk around Mulligan's Flat Reserve to help us get 10 types in a day accompanied by Smittengranny.

After another event, a FTF and an AL, we started making our way home.

In dying light, we decided to attempt this multi. We had to trust the GPS to find the correct gravestone. Then when at GZ using torches, we eventually rang another finder to confirm we were in the right spot (we were). With more fervent looking, we finally found the sneaky little hide.

20,222. Found during an epic days caching (mainly with minniek and smittengranny) while celebrating the elusive 29 February.

Last time round in 2016 I went for numbers (before today I had 118 caches on 29 Feb), so this year I went for cache types - managing 10 ! Heading home after a long day but a successful one we had 2 more caches on our list. We arrived at the cemetery just on dusk but managed to narrow down the required headstone. Once at GZ it was a tough search in the Dark but we soon managed to locate it.

Thanks CBRCHIC !!

*FTF* @ 1436 with DSD

After being down in Royalla and up huge mountains, we were headed back into the city.
Wow what pot-luck we had that we had just turned off the Monaro Highway when this was published! It meant all we needed to do was a U-Turn at the first roundabout, and we were already on the road to Queanbeyan!

So we raced down, through Queanbeyan, and onto Bungendore, to soon reach a familiar location. I remember climbing the pine tree at the back of the cemetery, and then watching someone climb it on a second occasion!

We got to WP1, and ummed and ahhed about which headstone we should be looking at. Luckily the coordinates were very spot on, so we only had 2 choices to pick from. Reading the two headstones, one of them sounded more interesting than the other, so we decided this would be the one to choose.

We soon proved ourselves correct, as we reached GZ in a VERY good place to hide a cache! Surprised someone hadn't already taken this spot in fact!
Took a couple of minutes to locate, but soon enough we had the empty log in hand, and went down to the Bungendore Pie Shop to reward ourselves

Thanks CBRCHIC! I think this is a great multi, with an interesting WP and a top quality hide! All I would suggest is maybe saying "The Gravestone on the left, of the two, when facing the road"
Doesn't spoil the waypoint or the person on the stone, but it just helps know which one you should be looking at so mistakes aren't made!

Published

Woohoo [FTF] at 1436 with Loci612 on a leap year day. Thats anonther Project GC Badge for me. So happy I could die.
