Cemetery History Keyneton, South Australia, Australia
By Dazzle072 on 21-Jul-22. Waypoint GC9XGVF

It was time for another drive in the country and the hills with Doctor Owl searching for never ending caches. We had targeted a few of the Jigidis along with others that we both hadn't found. I was really feeling my age at times along with my wonky foot and knee, but I made it to most of the caches even if very slowly (my balance is not too good in bush settings). Another fun day with a lovely meal at the Eden Valley pub along with a return visit for coffee on the way home. We encountered flies and ants, rabbits and a sleepy lizard, but thankfully no snakes. A nice quick find here.Thanks for the cache Mattycat.

Nice work!

Smart one

We visit Swan Hill, Mildura, Renmark, Barossa Valley, Victor Harbour, Tailem Bend and the last night at Ballarat. Stopped for few caches on the way. We had a lot of fun travelling these roads and seeing the farms and wildlife along the way. We found a range of caches. Many thanks to the CO's for placing and maintaining these caches.

As we wander through the land, grabbing caches and seeing the sights even occasionally catching up with friends A good day was had while grabbing these caches with lots of miles covered Thanks for placing them *Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state WA. Spending a few days in Nuriootpa to cache the surrounds. Loving the scenery that we pass as we move through the caches. Love a cemetery hide. Thanks dazzle072

Found with richlink as part of our Annual Caravan Geocaching Trip. We are staying at Nuri and doing a bit of sightseeing using geocaching as our guide. We have enjoyed the remarkable sceanery while cruising the country roads. Thanks for the cache Dazzle.

With the big targets finished, we headed out today to wander around an area that we had been passing through to get to our targets. There was also a trail nearby that we had also solved. Everything looked for was found. Thanks to the CO's for the caches.#9203

I see dead people.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 badge again.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.

A quick find, the log was signed & dated before being put back where it was found.
Thanks for sharing this location with us.

Found on a lovely spring day. Tftc.

Rocks are key

Staying at Taunton for a few nights and today kayche 23 came up to do some caching. So peaceful. Tftc

Found with Clive Staples! TFTC.
I like the cache.

After a morning caching trip at Sedan it was time to make the journey home... caching of course.
This cache was found along the way.

One of three caches found along Keyneton Road today - presumably not here the last time I passed this way.

I know I’ve been to this church before - how could you forget that bell tower? There seems to be a lot of Keynes close to GZ. A quick find here, cache is something a bit different which is always welcome.

Thanks to Dazzle072 and Mattycat.

Cemetery History was transferred from Dazzle072 to user Mattycat

Heading for home after a day caching around the Murray .
As with most cemeteries, this one is well kept .

Thanks for another one Dazzle072. Our last for the day [|)].

Found by Mary and David at 14:10. You could have left M here all day. She loves exploring cemeteries to see the carved designs and read the epitaphs on the headstones. A FP, and we are happy to see that the early pioneers are now back home in the area where they lived. Our thanks to Dazzle072.

Found with The X-Trailers . Love an old cemetry

This cache took a bit to find but with good co ords the cache was easily found and nicely hidden in the mold.

Today courtneyrose_ and I headed north to the Barossa and sour rounds to find the new caches in the area plus attend an event and have a nice day out.

Thanks for the cache

Another geocaching trip to Australia with tmann421.
This time to SA and surrounding areas.
Enjoyed the caches and the sites
Signed logs tm/ww NZ
Thanks to all the cache owners for their efforts in placing the hides.

*Another big geocaching trip to Australia with woolwood9.*
Our main focus was the "On Your Bike" Wherigo series but of course we couldn't resist many stops on the way plus other good trails!
SL **tm/ww NZ**
Really appreciate the effort put into this cache.
*Thank you for adding to our enjoyment!*

Caching my way around the Barossa on this pleasant spring day with 3 friends.
We found the cache quickly, signed and placed back as found.
We then took some time to look at the other graves in the cemetery. Lots of interesting, old and sad headstones.

Visited here today as my great great grandfather was minster of the independent chapel along the road from 1890 to 1902. Whilst there, one of his sons was accidentally drowned in a local dam, and is buried here. Thought I should log this cache to mark my visit. Quick easy find. TNLNSL TFTC.

Interesting town history in a small rectangle. TFTC Dazzle072, great cache.

Long weekend in Sedan. Day 3, Angaston and surrounds.

Found not far from posted coords. Thanks for the history.

Remember stuggling to find a cache here a few years back not today found the clever little hide in the first spot we checked
TFTC Dazzle072

Quick find. TFTC

Cache hide just as the cat described it, but the story makes more sense now. Cool find. Tftc

Just two Befuddled Puzzlers heading out to get newly published caches and anything else that we hadn't got whilst passing. Today's was just me and S.A. Sewer Rat. Today we headed towards the Barossa so I could do some maintenance and get a new stamp. As usual there were Dad Jokes and frivolity on the drives between caches..

This was a surprisingly quick find after waiting for some muggles to leave. A lot of history here indeed.

***Thanks Dazzle072 for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Woo hoo time for a Wednesday wander, for duo of geo-animals.
The Starfish picked up the Rat from the Rat's den.
The duo braved the elements, and headed to the Barossa.
We had to wait for a few local muggles to leave.
The Starfish soon had the prize in his hand.
We stamped the log then replaced the price in it's hiding place.
A day full of stories, laughter and caches. Tftc

Seems to have been a bit of confusion here. I found the cache at good co-ords, nice work on the cammo.
Mattycat's log and picture don't make sense, seems to be for a different cache?
TNLNSL
Thanks

This was by far the hardest to find!!!

Day 1 of my 5 day Geocaching long weekend away. This would be Find Number 32 of 38 for the day.

Not sure if it was the stormy skies or me not looking at the GPS but ended up way off but soon zeroed in on the location Great bit of camo.

Out doing some reconnaissance for Rally Barossa grabbing caches along the way TFTC

Found during a drive in the Hills on a cold, wet, wintry day. Thanks for the cache Dazzle072!

Found with CPwanderer after a short search.
I enjoy visiting cemeteries. So full of history.

Found after a short search with Gizmos Gang!!! Some really interesting headstones!!! Thanks for the hide!!

A Friday afternoon drive with she who has no interest but with the promise of a pizza lunch at the Greenock hotel she was happy to tag along.
There were a few targets for the afternoon but the noggin head Adder forgot to load the required TOTT in the car so that was the end of that idea when arriving at the first of the GZ's

All caches were in good condition unless noted otherwise.


Keyneton Oval or Cemetery History, This one was confusing.

Searching at GZ the only thing that stood out were a few of what the hint suggested securing the flower holder. When that proved fruitless a read of the description and that the co ords were incorrect had us scratching our head.

Were they wrong and it was at the Oval or had they been updated and now correct?

Reading the Cat's log we thought we would search for a little longer and only just stumbled on the hide. Maybe the CO might need to clarify?

In any case a 2nd to find silver claimed.



Thank you for the cache Dazzle072 Find Number 9909 on 29/07/2022

No luck here.
Coordinates take us to a cemetery, some interesting old Keyne history.
But nothing cachey to be seen at D1 T1.5 level??? Is it really good camo? More than D1?

Had a look at description, all about oval further up the road. A brisk walk around the boundary through the longer grass revealed nothing there either, although a long shot really

Have to return to Keyneton another day.

Thanks anyway!

Argh. Sorry ppl coords out of wack. Stay tuned

Messed up Coordinates.

Hopefully all is now fixed. Apologies to those who came out and found nothing. Please be assured, there is something now.

Cache coordinates have been fixed. Not located at cemetery.

Cache is there at given coordinates.
Cache DESCRIPTION requires maintenance!

Cache at cemetery coordinates found Sat morning. ?unsure why log removed.

Saturday 23rd.

Two things to do as per geocaching com:

Go to GZ given coordinates. Tick.

Sign the log. Tick.

{FTF} as per previous log of cache at gz.

Photos attached. Cache description requires maintenance!!

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Ah. Whoops. Sorry fellow cachers. Problems fix

Published

The moated coordinates did not match the description. Maybe those that lie here used to play spot at the oval. Coordinates may need checking or I need to look harder.

The cache may be in grave trouble. Dead set sure it's lost!

{FTF} @ 1055

Trust the GPSr !!!

Despite the glowing description of the local sporting facility, the regular size given, and the D1 rating... leading at least a couple of cachers up the creek so to speak...
There was a cache log to sign at gz !
So sign i did

The details may need a little adjustment in the description, but sure the CO can tweak that, and as H4z3l said, the folk here probably did like to play some cricket once in a while.

All in all a neat little cache. Slightly damp, but beats all those mint tins for looks

Looking forward to the next cache in the area which I'm sure is in the planning stage right now

Thanks for the cache Dazzle072

Keep safe, stay covid free and cache rich!
