A quick find while heading to CobdenA good bit of history here as wellSigned and replaced where foundTFTC

Heading from home to St Arnaud I meandered my way via a series of Adventure Labs. After doing the Adventure Lab here, I figured that I really should do this one while here. Found nice and quickly.



Many thanks to Explorer Nan for the cache.

Quick find for us on our caching weekend. Tftc

In the area visiting relatives so today decided on a plan to complete as many as possible in a circle round from Maryborough to Beaufort and back. Spotted the likely hide as pulled up and quickly located the cache.

Headed out on a run up to Lexton, then down through Beaufort and back to Ballarat, with this my next stop in the area. Headed up to the cemetery for a look around and soon had the cache in hand. Log was signed and I was son on my way.

Thanks for the cache and showcasing the area Explorer Nan.

After completing the lovely Adventure Lab,was nice to find a cache here too. Thanks for placing this cache here

This has been our 'closest to home' cache ever since it was published, but we have been saving it for a day when we would need a cache find for some challenge or other reason. Today was that day, as it helped us complete a challenge we signed last year in Millicent SA for finding a cache on every date in the month of April. It has taken us 10 years of caching to do this - can't rush these things!

Such a beautifully kept cemetery, and we have been here many times over the years, sometimes for sad reasons, sometimes to just come and wander, particularly when the ixias are blooming in October. The cache was found today in good condition and logbook nice and dry. Thank you Explorer_Nan for placing and maintaining the cache here.

A quick find whilst passing through...

A very nice quick and easy find, on NYs Day following camping in Skipton, for the triple New Year event.
TFTC and it is indeed a nice neat cemet.

LeeLee on a road trip this long weekend taking in events, CITO's and caching along the way. With a change to the plans, I decided to make a detour here to grab the Adventure Lab and trad. A lovely country cemetery.

Thanks Explorer Nan for placing and maintaining for all to enjoy. All good here.

Today I’m heading to Musical Gully to turn a musical note into smiley faces, if all goes well.
But there is always time to stop and grab a few random caches on the way.

Such a sad little plaque hidden in this corner of the cemetery.

Keep smiling

Today we had a leisurely start in Beaufort getting ready for our trip back to SA. The Junior colts were well into their game before we left the lake side caravan park.
Off to Waterloo for a few caches and AL. Then off to do the musical wherigos which we had so much fun solving last night whilst drinking a lot of wine and singing along to Jimmy Barnes.
Quick lunch at the footy oval before heading onwards to Taylor’s Lake for our last night camping, the serenity here is lovely.
Plenty of caches found during today what a bonus and still no rain to spoil our trio how lucky are we?
Thanks to all the CO for the great hides and the Victorian cachers foe looking after the hides my SA counterparts could taje a leaf out of their book.
TFTC nice find here

Lovely

Quick bonus

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

LNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH - Explorer Nan [^]

A quick find.
Love walking around old cemeteries

A short diversion to find this one.

Our last hurrah in the Ballarat area was a trip out to Beaufort to look for the music based wherigo series. We particularly enjoyed solving these as the music was from our time and many answers came easily and had us singing as we completed the cartridges. We have to admit to using google quite a bit on the more recent featured however. The 60s, 70s and 80s certainly were a golden time for music.

All logs signed as SKI Pair or RASP.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Explorer Nan.

Some good friends had decided to head to Ballarat for a few weeks so I decided I needed a break and joined them, we had a great time out caching as well as sharing stories and laughs around a meal or two. I really love the area of Ballarat there is so much history and I am sure it has the largest population of Oak trees in the Country.

This is one of the caches found today. today we headed out to the Beaufort area to do the lab and other caches in the area.


Thanks Explorer Nan for the cache.

Found with Roostaman on our Feb/March Vic trip down South.
Another fun caching trip and lots of smilies too. .

Traveling between the Heathcote Dark Sky Site and Beaufort for the last event of the year.
Grabbed a few caches and AdLabs on the way.

After I completed the AdLab I walked over to find this good sized cache.
Always up for a walk around a cemetery, even of such a windy day.
Thanks, Robmc.

I had a great time finding your cache Explorer Nan, thank you so much for placing it.

Day #12 of the Birthday Bush Bonanza. After a quick stop over in Goroke over night it was off to Horsham and then towards Ballarat for the day.

Having completed the ad lab stroll through this cemetery I wandered over to sign this cache. No town’s caching journey is complete without a visit to the cemetery!

Thanks Explorer Nan for the cache and for contributing to the game.

An Gorta Mor… The great hunger or the Irish famine as you might know it. Right by the cache in the corner of the cemetery is the resting place of my gr gr gr grandmother Ellen Newey née Fitzgerald one of 4,114 Irish orphans broughyt to Australia between 1846 and 1852.

A life of poverty…

A day out with biggles1024 and after spending a bit of time driving around the tracks in the Mt. Avoca area finding some of the first 500 Victorian caches, we were now heading towards home via the Mt. Cole area for a few other caches.
It was getting a bit late in the day to head further into Mt. Cole for the first 500 caches, they will be another day so now it was time to head for home but as we were passing this one it would of been a bit rude not to stop for a look so we did, the cache was found and the log signed, we then continued on our way.

**Thanks to Explorer Nan for placing this cache.**

**Traditional Find #2981**

I headed out with Steve to Avoca to target some of Victoria's 500 oldest caches.
The weather was perfect all day but once in the bush, our progress was hindered and then stopped a number of times by branches and entire trees that had been downed by last week's storm.


**Thank-you to Explorer Nan for placing this geocache**

Found, thanks for bringing us here TFTC

Found it. TFTC

Tftc! Pretty wildflowers out here!

Tftc quick find, now to look through the cemetery

Easy find, but love coming to cemeteries!

*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Arrived with people in the grounds but lucky they were at the furthest point from cache [ not a funeral ] logged and on my way. TFTC

Really enjoyed visiting this cemetery with Motndarg today. We completed the adventure lab and snagged this cache too. Took TB for further travels. Thanks Explorer Nan.

Good to be out with McLookers this morning. We located this cache OK, what a great sturdy post. After signing the log we moved on to do the Adventure Lab. Thanks Explorer Nan.

A quick wander around this historic Cemetery to do the AdLab in the sprinkling rain, and then a fast walk to GZ for this cache. Making our way home to the NE of Victoria after our Victorian winter holiday. Pleased to see a good sized container here so we could leave Lamby the TB. SL at 3pm #8126 TFTC Explorer Nan

Jenno3 and I headed this way this morning for a few caches. We were discussing last week how many of the 475 Victorian cemeteries we’ve been to. Another to tick off the list. Tftc

Cemetery caches are my favourite, tftc #56

I miss the times of the St Arnaud event. The last big one for me before lockdown 2020. Thanks so much for the cache

Oh I do love a good cemetery cache. There are loads around Victoria. Especially love the quaint little outofthe way places who you would never think would have a cemetery. Bonus this one was with 2 here. Thanks for bringing us here and the cache

Find No. 3324. Found with FUF009 at 11.06am.

In FUF009's ute, today we headed down around Beaufort, Skipton and Linton areas, grabbing caches that we still had to find in these areas.

When our GPS pointed us in the direction, we guessed where this one would be and we were right. A quick find here. Log signed and now it's off for a walk around the Cemetary to do the Adventure Lab.

Find # 9696
Found with Tyred n Cranky

We headed south from town for a day of caching. This seen us clean up parts of the map around Beaufort, Skipton and Linton.

A quick find made by Mr Tyred n Cranky before we headed in to do the Adventure Lab.

Thanks to Explorer Nan for this cache.

Suscoe decided to have a day out in the Avoca area and so we headed off this morning for the drive.
The rain had stopped but we saw the evidence of the rain and the wind as we travelled towards the Ballarat area. We were glad that the roads had been cleared of some quite large trees.
Last night we had checked the rain fall totals for the Avoca / Maryborough area and the totals were surprisingly low so we were confident that the tracks and roads that we were going to use would probably be ok and they were. In fact looking around the Avoca and Percydale areas really gave a false impression about what had happened around the state east of here.
It was a delightful day for caching with mainly sunny skies up until late afternoon for our trip home. We enjoyed seeing the various locations and hides.

Apart from a coffee purchase in Beaufort, this was our last stop for the day, an Adventure Lab and a traditional cache, and a cemetery to explore and learn from, what more could anyone wish for.

We had a great to here and appreciate the work done.

Time to head home.

We have finally managed to get a day out, and found ourselves enjoying the area around here, Thanks for bringing us to this lovely little cemetery, TFTC and the fun

Easy find today and love the wander through the cemetery. Thanks for the cache.

Beautiful spot

After a good weekend in Avoca and the surroundings enjoying the company of other Geocachers and, of course, finding quite a few caches, we headed home to the Bellarine Peninsula. It was a lovely crisp clear morning for the second morning in a row, and it boded well for caching. This is the second Waterloo themed cache we have found in a row. And then we completed the Adventure lab at this Cemetery. If you are in the area, do the Adventure Lab, it is very interesting and educational. This cache was in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache Explorer Nan.

I never knew this cemetery was here. Beautiful spot. Xx

Whoops. Wrong side of the fence then a quick find. Tftc tnln

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find on the boundary of this very well maintained cemetery. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache.

It was a case of headlight on, heater up to maximum and drive VERY slowly as the fog was an absolute pea souper with very limited visibility It was a simple find but I finished up with wet boots and socks as the longish grass was soaked with dew TFTC Explorer Nan

A cool wind blew across the land as we pulled up and figured this one out. The near by lab had us wandering around and checking out other things besides this cache.

Thanks to Explorer Nan and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]

Before the words to that song started worming around in my head the cache was grabbed. TFTC

A very nice cemetery here and we all really enjoyed the adventure lab before making this find as well. TFTC Explorer Nan.

I always enjoy roaming cemeteries and learning there histories. So I will always go out of my way to find a cache there. Thankyou for bring me to this one!!

Nice easy find. Great view too. Thanks

Last cache today after completing some wonderful adventure lab caches - took us to many beautiful spots - this one included. Many thanks

Found after completing the Adventure Lab. A lovely finish to the day. TFTC

TFTC quick find after clearing out the Waterloo area.

I love finding caches at old rural cemeteries, and thus one was particularly picturesque.a lovely spot among the mullock heaps.

*Staying in Ararat for a few days*

Found as I toured around the area cleaning up the ol' caching map. A day trip planned so I could clean up the local series. This was one of the caches found along the way. A beautiful area

Thanks for the cache Explorer Nan. Appreciate your efforts.

Found by Mary and David at 14:40. Mary loves cemeteries for the carved symbolism of the headstone designs and the social history of the epitaphs, so of course this one gets a FP. All very interesting, and we loved the Adventure Lab here too. Our thanks to Explorer Nan.

It seems like forever ago since AusFox; Neville_devil and I had made it out for a big day of caching. AusFox; had his eye on some unloved days that had been building on some caches on Mt Cole so that was our destination for the adventure.
With some adventure labs around it is a wealth of smiley here. It was a nice quick find here before we entered for the adventure labs.

Thank you Explorer Nan for the cache

First time in a while that I’ve been out caching with SimsFamily and Neville Devil for the usual laughs, insults and amazing locations regardless that the white beast has height issues.
We headed for Mt Cole to start the day, then on to Waterloo, Beaufort and Rokewood and everywhere in between which made for great locations and hides which made for a great day out.
A very humbling and historic location.
I was also impressed by the near by beumb mail box.
Log signed and replaced as found

Nice Find
TFTC Explorer Nan

The find was nice and quick in this sleepy country area. The cemetery is well kept although there is a grave just inside the fence, all on it's own and another along the back fence, also on it's own. Seems sad. Thanks for the cache.

09:44
366 - a rather significant number - the final day of 2020 - a year which we will remember for ever! Just time left to collect a few more caching tokens and put a broader smile on our map, before 2021.

Thanks Explorer Nan for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

After spending Christmas in Wurdiboluc and a few days at Lake Purumbeet it was time to head to Beaufort to bring in the new year and kick the old one to the kerb.
Out and about for the day before the event and we headed out here to do the lab . Nice to
visit this lovely little cemetery with so much history.

Thanks for bringing us here Explorer Nan

A nice easy find at a pleasant little cemetery.
We also enjoyed the lab cache here as well.
Thanks for the hide.

I came to Beaufort to farewell 2020, a year that will never be forgotten.
Up to Waterloo for the quick and interesting lab cache and then to here. I left a tb that wants to go to Italy. Good luck with that!!
Thanks nan the explorer.

Here to do the AL and the bonus of this trad as wellSL L 1x TB

After a crazy year, it’s time to get away for a bit of R&R, and of course a cache or two.
Day four.
After completing the AL, I strolled down to find the cache, and another grave tucked away in the corner.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Explorer Nan

Fun, adventure, travel, history, geology, mental stimulation, social gatherings, support and friendship are just some of the elements of geocaching.

Out and about enjoying the opportunity to grab a few caches, yours being one of those I targeted on my journey today. Thanks ??

Thanks Explorer Nan (F=238 H=9) for placing this cache and adding to our game.

I loved completing the adventure labs at this location - such fascinating history (OMG 6 kids by the time she was 20yo - things women and their bodies were subjected to!)

This was a nice little trad to find whilst in the area.

I certainly didn't anticipate jumping across the border from South Australia for just over 24 hours, but a strange set of circumstances culminated in this occurring.

Sooooo nice to be in this part of the world again, it had been too long.

Out and about with the lovely micaparamedic, Team Crackers and ChooknChunk after attending an event, we did some adventure labs and found a variety of caches.

Thanks so much Explorer Nan for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
